Growing up Usagi

Post by Tinlantern »

Just wanted to share my joy!

I just acquired an Albedo #2! It is the last missing issue in my Usagi collection which I started way back before I could really reach the top of the comic counter. I have been influenced by Mr. Sakai's work for as long as I can remember.

My first child, Audrey was born on the 16th and I can't wait to share my love of Mr. Sakai's work with her as she grows older. Then, my first self published comic book, Gruesome, was released just last week and is selling well at the same local shop I went to as a kid. Guess what it was sitting next to when I walked in? Grasscutter TPB. Ha!

Anyway, I won Albedo #2 for $150 in a "best offer" on eBay and it arrived today. It is in GREAT condition other than the previous owner put scotch tape down the spine. Weird. Anyway, I took the tape off.

Woo hoo!

Three times the congradulations!!!

For the birth of your first child (and future Usagi fan) Audrey, for the release of your own comic Gruesome, and finally for aquiring your own copy of Albedo #2 (and at such a great price)!!!

:D

Ditto man!! That's a fantastic price and I'm glad pulling that tape off didn't rip it all up! Sweet!!

Pulling the tape was an exercise in caution and patience!
