General discussion about Usagi Yojimbo, the comics, the stories, the characters, collectibles, TV appearances, Stan Sakai, Space Usagi, Nilson & Hermy, and all other related topics.
Do you have finished original covers (colored by Tom Luth) for sale, or are those in his possession?
I would love to own the colored cover for Usagi #103.
Tom used to watercolor photocopies as color guides for the printer. No one works that way any more, though. All coloring is done on computer, so there is no longer any original color art. It is much easier to make changes with the computer, and the colorist is able to do the separations himself.
That does make a tremendous amount of sense. Thanks, Sensai.

I was hoping someone in the 'States would offer as shipping is way cheaper... but if no one else does I would be happy to!
I can offer to do it, but I must warn that I am not able to get to the post office very often. I didn't offer right away because I hoped someone else would volunteer who could ship them out right away.

I sent Roel a message by PM several days ago making arrangements to pick up a couple copies of the sketchbook for him. I probably should have posted a comment here as well.

Thanks so mush for the offer Morna-san and Shaper. Steve has told me that he would do it for me so I'm all set. I should have mentioned this but I forgot. Thanks again and I really appreciate you trying to do this for me guys.

I have added one other thing to my list - I hope it's OK. I'd rather give you the money, Stan, than e-bay or whatever. Here is my complete list
The original artwork for UY 101 (eeeeeeeee! so excited) (w/ hanko?)
a copy of sketchbook #1 (if possible)
a copy of sketchbook #2
a copy of sketchbook #3
three trades I haven't been able to find:
#8 Shades of Death
#18 Travels with Jotaro
