Usagi Yojimbo Gallery Edition Volume 1: Samurai

[Gaffey]

"What are the only two original published pages of Usagi Yojimbo artwork which Stan Sakai no longer owns? We are talking Usagi Yojimbo story pages, not pin-ups, covers, or cross-overs, etc....

I think one was from Chanoyu. The person made Stan an offer he could not refuse. At least that's the way I remember it.

Between this and the #150 issue (and also BPRD and Hellboy in Hell), this is an awesome week for comics!
(Oh, and there's another letter from Maka in the letter column )

The other one is owned by Todd, I believe. It's the Usagi and Tomoe get together page from mother of mountains storyline. It was a gift from Stan.

Not technically an Usagi story, but the double page spread at the end of #100 was given away as well... was that for a first birthday present?

I was going to bring that up too. It's here in this thread: http://usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3208

Ah, that was going to be one of my trivia questions if I ever had to submit one. List the cameos. But now it's too easy.

Images on that thread aren't working for me.... anyone have the image handy. Otherwise I have to wait until I get home to see it.

I looked through part of the book last night. It's a really neat collection, and it's got one of those great "Stan and Usagi" short comics in it! I especially liked how this one started with the first panels as loose pencils, and progressed to finished inks.

Stan, was it difficult to locate all of the art to be scanned, or did you have most of it on hand?

I have all my original story pages, except two. They are filed, each story bagged individually, in those large FedEx boxes. Each box can hold one trade collection worth of originals, so I have the boxes labeled with the titles of the books. The only page I did not have was the very first UY page from Goblin of Adachigahara. It is in an art show, so is the only page not scanned from the original art for the Gallery Edition.

Thanks for answering my question!

Dear Readers,
Imagine how happy i was to open my sealed copy of the Usagi Yojimbo Gallery Edition.
This is one of the most amazing books i have ever seen.
Thanks to all of those who made this incredible book.
When i got to page 177 and 178 the page is missing.
Cut out from the book.
Is this true of all books or just mine?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best wishes to all.

Dear go,

How unfortunate.
I checked, and my copy contains pages 177 and 178.
I hope you can remedy this situation.
Good luck.

Very bizarre. My 177-178 have not been cut out.

But there is a change in numbering part way through. My pages are normally numbered from 1-132 and then the page numbering font greatly increases and starts at number 115 and goes through 142 and then reverts to the earlier page numbering font and starts back up at 161 and finishes at that font. Of note: The larger font numbering, although out of numerical order, corresponds to the Lone Goat and Kid story.

Sorry Go. I just look at my edition and I have pages 177-8.

I hope you get this resolved. Peace, maka
