Set Description:
Those of the rascally variety have upset the apple cart of collectability for ages, always asking, "What up, Doc?", for some comic relief!
Albedo and the anthropomorphic characters with attitude that swept the 80's and onward. It took stamina and resilience to speak up as a taught student then, whether it be ninja, a mecha as a Power Ranger or VR Trooper, or even just a kid on a playground swinging a lunchbox. Nicknames were quickly handed out and it was a reputation to stay as studious as possible.

The rabbit has somehow time, space, and age traveled but not without a flashback or two, to show the old world and that those traditions were still held as the standard for discipline!
  
Growing up in the 80's there was many innovations and ideas that flew around in the bullpens. Whether in tights or in media, they seemed to have a common theme of animals doing the talking. They seemed interesting to draw and or look at, which made for some enjoyable reading and a little out of the box thinking. Turtles being number one, with Albedo and Usagi Yojimbo joining in, and then later on with the TICK! All these were common form for the age, especially copper, but it made for those innocent childish stories to come up with some "adult themes" that were somehow acceptable by parents and kids alike! Animals were thought to especially be for children animation based on what had been presented up until that point, what with Merrie Melodies and other Bugs Bunny type ephemera, which in themselves were a bit chaotic and loud.
A new serious type fighting turtle, rabbit, or tick just blended in!

1st appearance of Tomoe Ame & Lord Nori Yuki. Back cover pin-up by Stan Sakai. 2nd appearance and back cover appearance of Usagi Yojimbo! Full of spunk and panache there is none other than Usagi that can be taught and continually teach the ninja way. Thought of as a leader and always ready at a moment's notice, there is none other which can show the instinct of survival so well. A type and brand that came along around the time of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they have even met each other on the sparring field to be taught discipline, morals, and the utter heroics that made kids sit up and take notice. From the 80's and well on into the 90's unto today, there is the ninja code to consider with many a fan that shouts, "COWABUNGA!" In the distance as the weapons are cleared of the blood of the enemy. Those were battle cries and notes taken from teacher, master, and student on through the circle again.
 Those of the rascally variety have upset the apple cart of collectability for ages, always asking, "What up, Doc?", for some comic relief!
Complete with a back cover picture that remains the same to show the character that in this case graces the back rather than the front. A moody but concise display of an "old world" and from where these traditions are taught and handed down!

Groo cameo. Stan Sakai & S.A. Gallacci stories & art. Stan Sakai cover. You Yo-Yo! Usagi saga of those furies and fuzzies that can span a shopping spree towards discipline. Expectingly overtaken by the good and making do with what lessons learned Yojimbo succumbs to his tutelage to be downright learned in his sake of cause. Not one for drink, he is speaking to me to learn to call when sober, by vigilant spirit to know the no's and yeses of the narrow straight when the heart desires and by the Spirit the mouth speaks. Not wanting to grieve his own ambition doesn't quiet sit it out but the hands not knowing in which the other is doing, he gives as he receives in search of peace, a calling, and striking out by a one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ballgame. It doesn't let up the childness of rising to the occasion but with passion and zeal anyone can kiss the son lest he be angry.
 Those secondary copies, of a 2nd type appearance cameo of the ninja barbarian variety show. Starslayer #5 Groo Preview Page Layout.
Complete with a back cover picture of a Groo Appearance, that takes place in Starslayer #5 as a layout of those 5-page preview type plot to see if fit for publication, but it happens here in Usagi Yojimbo Albedo #4 that Groo is officially licensed and fit for a label notation.
Grader Notes;
spine stress lines cover.
