I'm a little low on creative energy this week due to a persistent cold. So forgive my laziness with this week's trivia contest.
Question: Who are all the people who have written the forwards for UY trade paperback collections?
1st prize: First person to list them in the comments below gets a random prize mail to them from me. You must list the book and then corresponding forward author next to it.
For example: Book one: The Ronin - No forward author.

Book two: Samurai - Name of forward author
Bonus question: Which one is your favorite forward and why?
2nd prize: Based on all the answers, I will subjectively pick a winner based on my taste. This is not who gets their answer in first. This person will also get a random prize.
Disclaimers:
-Bonus question: is SUBJECTIVE. My tastes may not match yours. That's okay.

-Prizes will be mailed out based on my timeline (after receiving the winner's addresses), which may take a long time. UCSB's spring quarter starts on Monday. This quarter will be more busy due to a temporary reduction in my staff which increases my workload, some major events (i.e. preparing to meet the needs of our students facing as we approach the anniversary of last year's Isla Vista shooting/mass murders on May 23), and other work and life related challenges. Please be patient.
-My random prizes will be comic related but probably not Stan Sakai related. But hey, it's free, so be grateful.

This dojo community is one of the things that brings me joy each week. Thank you all for participation on these boards. I look forward to reading your thoughts below and throughout the Dojo boards. Have a great week!
Peace, maka
