My pillow arrived today. Thank you again for sending it to me after I forgot it. :oops: And thanks including a sketch in the ANS program book I asked you about. I love it.

Peace, maka
Cool! Another happy ending!

They also have the comic book, signed and unsigned ($50 for either version).
Unless those comic books are a whole lot cheaper for fan-club members and Mayhem can order one for me, I guess this one will not be added to my collection. Definitely would have preferred this comic over the Eastman wrap-a-round cover variant but those prices pretty much soured me on either. :?

Well that comic book as described, is the one that comes with the new Usagi toy, and only contains reprinting material. It isn't the cross over comic for next month.

The copy on Kevin's web-site does not come with the toy, unless I am mistaken. I am not particularly interested in the action figures, but I do like the special edition comic, even though it is reprinted material. I just don't like it enough to want to pay $50 for it. Really makes me wonder how much the SDCC exclusive figure with the comic will be selling for if just the comic costs $50......

FYI - The book contains the stories "Turtle Soup and Rabbit Stew" and "The Treaty"

Fan club members can order unsigned copies for $25. Interested? I can order two (one for you, one for me), and have them shipped to Kyle, if he's good with that?

I'm a bit late posting this, but I made the trip down the other week. It should normally take 2.5 hours to get there from my house, but it took me 4.5 hours to get there! :shock: That left me only an hour to look around before they closed for the day, but fortunately that was sufficient time. It was very cool to see these pages of original art and made the somewhat frustrating drive down completely worthwhile. Since I know few from here were unable to attend, I took photos of all the art so you can at least experience a virtual version of the gallery. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting these. I really like how the cover to UY 27 is framed. Do you know if the Gallery did that?

That, and a few others, were taken directly from my wall already framed. I had gotten them framed professionally.

Wonderful photos! I did not have the time to go through the gallery show completely because we were so busy, so it is nice to be able to see what I missed.
