is it me, or did stan's posting sound a little bit ominous? after all these months of build up and numerous speculations posted on the dojoboard, i can't wait to read what happens.
: : Great illustration on the back cover. Interesting: It's Jotaro holding Usagi's sword? But the kid's got Usagi's small nose instead of Jotaro's big, round nose. Symbolism, Usagi as a kid foreshadowing Jotaro in the future, since he's wearing Jotaro's purple kimono?
: That back cover drawing originally featured a young Usagi holding the sword but Diana and Cary thought it would be much more effective if it was Jotaro so I gave them permission to change his clothing digitally. I did point out that they have different noses but we agreed that no one would ever notice the difference.
: I guess we were wrong.
: Duel at Kitanoji comes out at the end of August. That is one story whose ending kept changing up to the minute I inked that final panel.
