Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow (Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow #1)

Finally making it out of the frozen mountains, Usagi and Yukichi come across a merchant being attacked by four brigands. They rescue the supposed merchant only to discover much later that he is really a criminal with a huge bounty on his head! Of course, wherever there is a huge reward you will find bounty hunters Gen and Stray Dog... and other unscrupulous trackers!
