You can catch the legendary Stan Sakai, celebrating the 35th anniversary of his Usagi Yojimbo, at San Diego Comic-Con next week. He’ll be located at Booth #4906 on the show floor, but also be signing at the IDW booth.
For those looking for either autographs or commissions from Stan or his wife Julie (who has a variety of artwork available for sale of Chibi USagi cosplaying, and offers watercolor commissions at just $40), here’s a look at the pricing and some examples of Julie’s work:
If exclusives are what you’re after, the booth will have plenty. You can pic up a 7-color silk screen poster (18×24) of Usagi Yojimbo’s first appearance in Albedo #2. The regular version is limited to just 150 pieces, and will retail for $50.
There will also be a variant Black and White version, which is limited to just 50 pieces and will retail for $125 each. The Black and white version is special because Stan Sakai will randomly spot color the poster. This makes each one unique and original.
