A "new" question for Stan...

Can you provide any information on your contribution to this project?

Tokyopop
Psychic Academy Collector's Box Graphic Novel & Volume 01 DVD

Introduction:
Zerodaimu Kyupura Pa Azalraku Vairu Rua Darogu (a.k.a. Zero) once stopped the evil demon lord with his incredible psychic ability, and in the process saved the world from destruction and earned the honorable and highly imaginative title 'The Man Who Stopped the Evil Lord.'

Now, he has accepted a position as a teacher at Psychic Academy, a school for gifted psychokinetic youngsters who have demonstrated incredible raw powers and want to learn how to hone their abilities. Among the student body is young Ai Shiomi, Zero's little brother, a somewhat meek boy who, despite parental prodding and his fraternal reputation, feels that his limited skills hardly justify his presence at the prestigious academy.

However, everyone else is convinced that he, like his celebrated brother, is destined for greatness. A lot of pressure for a boy just entering adolescence!

The Story:
Limited Edition Bundle that includes volume 1 of the Psychic Academy Manga and volume 1 of the never-before-released anime on DVD.

Did you contribute a pin-up or something to be included in this volume?
Is the pin-up only included in the special packaged set, or is it also in the regular Psychic Academy volume 1 edition?
Did Michael Gagne's ZED #6 ever get released?

Thanks for your time and assistance with these questions.
Abayo...

A school for children with 'magical' psychic powers... someone who defeated an evil lord when they were just a child.

Why does this sound familiar?

I don't know what this is. I don't remember doing anything for Tokyo Pop, though I have met some of the people who work there.

Is this a recent release?

Zed #6--is that the one I did the back cover? If it is, then, yes, it was released. Michel Gagne gave me a copy at the San Diego Con.

The special box set described above is being released sometime in the next few weeks, I think.
