What a strange coincidence that Stan should choose my brand new desktop image for the cover ;)

Seriously, that's just awesome!

It is always a pleasure to see that there is still a Chizu fan club ! Chizu Chizu woohoo !

Stan,
perhaps it is due to a very interesting "Is Usagi happy" topic in the french dojo (because Morgane told me that Usagi often looks annoyed, i will show her this illustration), this illustration is really great and with good karma nevertheless one point is disturbing me: Usagi is smiling, his family and friends are with him, Tomoe looks amorous, everyone looks happy (even Katsuichi's bottle), so why Usagi has his blade at hand ?

Am I right in thinking (great piece btw) that this was actually sitting on Stan's table at Comicon? I swear I've seen it before...

I had a couple of other group drawing at San Diego. One was a double page spread that was the endpapers for the UY: Glimpses of Death HC, which was sold to John Higashi. The other was a regular sized drawing (11x17"), that I did to block in the characters for this cover. That drawing, aside it featuring many characters, looks very different. For one thing, they were in a field some waving stalks of grass.

That's great thanks...she is a favourite of mine.



You know, Stan, while I got your attention, I got some other ideas for Usagi, some are pretty radical, but once you accept the fact that Usagi is working for the CIA it's really fun...




On second thought, maybe I won't push my luck.

That would answer Fanfan's question as to why Usagi is smiling in the company of friends AND holding a sword in the cover art to issue #100.

Got a news tidbit that Mark Evanier is writing something for Scott Shaw! in UY #100...that's it so far! Stan is uncertain who else is involved. Maybe Sergio?? Wouldn't that be great if Sergio contributed a Catnippon/Usagi story... Now I'm really thinking. What if Diana really went out on a limb, and got someone like Steve Gallacci to contribute. Imagine Steve doing Space Usagi...wild!!! The possibilities for this issue are killing me....

All of the covers are absolutely stunning! It's neat to see the preview pages too.

Steve will not be involved with 100. I recently heard that his wife has some health problems, and Steve is taking care of her. That explains why he has been absent from the convention circuit for a while.

I just realized that the wrap-around cover for UY 100 features the same "co-star" characters as the UYD's flash intro... coincidence??? Gen, Tomoe, Katsuichi, Jotaro, and Inspector Ishida...
