| Publisher Description: Circles features the graphic-novel-length epic title story, in which Usagi returns to his native village only to find everything very different indeed. (The discovery that his mentor, whom he thought dead, is actually alive and kicking is only the first of the shocks that await him.) Circles is an epic adventure, a love story, and one of the most affecting Usagi stories ever. In addition to the 80-page Circles, this volume includes The Bridge, The Duel, and the hard-to-find The Tangled Skein from Critters #38. Jam-packed with lethal sword battles alternating with humor, horror, suspense and slapstick, this beautifully crafted and exciting volume (with an introduction by Jeff Smith creator of Bone) is both an excellent starting point for new readers, and an absolute necessity for Usagi completists. |
