So, while poking around some ol' issues of Epic's translation of Akira, I came across this tribute which filled the back pages of the last two issues. I found it interesting enough to bring to your attention, and on account of it basically being fanart by Americans of something /jam/ related I decided to post it here.Enjoy
Somewhat of a spoiler here if you haven't read the manga
And now something from Dave Gibbons.
Next up.......
Now a little ditty written by someone who'd soon become very famous in the coming years..........
And that's it. Thoughts?
>>48470I'd frame that and put it on my wall.
>>48479 Awesome, some of these could make great posters.I actually found some books at a local comic shop for Akira, they may have been released by either Marvel or Epic and I was thinking about picking them up. Hopefully they'll have stuff like this in them.
Japanese people that actually look Japanese?MY GOD
>>48868As opposed to looking like cartoon characters? Also have you ever actually seen Katsushiro Otomo's art?
>>48913I have, it's just...interesting to see the faces of Yamagata and Kai in such a realistic style that still manages to look like them. (Although Kai without his anime hair looks a bit odd. At least we still have his polo shirts and shortness for identification).
