NEW (AND EASIER?) TRIVIA QUESTION...

Same prizes, same rules and process for submitting your answers...

(I really want to find good homes for these cool Usagi Yojimbo posters and cards!)

Over the years, Usagi Yojimbo starred in a lot of stories which have been published by a number of publishers, and in a number of differant formats. They have been published in black and white, in color, in comic book and trade editions, anthology and benefit publications,newspapers, magazines, etc.

Sometimes, The stories have been changed between publications, appearing under differant titles, corrections made to fix errors, stories expanded or several stories combined with new pages to form a new longer story.

Some examples are;
the very first Usagi story was simply titled "Usagi Yojimbo" and was published in the b/w anthology ALBEDO, reprinted under the new title of "The Goblin of Adachigahara", then reprinted still later in the trade volume RONIN.

The story "Hebi" appeared in a trade edition, then in a game book, the story "The Courage of the Plum" originally appeared in a pin-up or artbook, then both stories were combined pages in the SEASONS trade edition to form yet another story called "Snakes and Blossoms".

Confused yet?

the question is this...
All of the Mirage issues of Usagi yojimbo were published in color, then reprinted in b/w when they were collected into various trade editions. Only one Usagi Yojimbo story was ever published first in b/w and then reprinted in color. (in the U.S.)

what was that story which started off in b/w, was expanded and reprinted in color, then reprinted a third time back in b/w?

I want both titles for the story...


Abayo

PM your answers to me...

I would be happy to donate prizes if someone else would coordinate the contests.

On another subject, how do you attach a piece of art or a document onto your posting like your "You Rock!" image?

Step by step:

1) Get any image. Either scan it into your computer or get one from the internet. Let's suppose you scan the image or take a picture of it, and you upload it to your PC/mac.

2) Host your image online. You'll need to find an online host. A very good one is http://imageshack.us . It's also free. Once you host it (only a couple clicks, the website is very easy to use), you'll get a bunch of links, some of them specifically meant for using them in forums like this one. Copy that one.

3) Create a new post, and paste the link into the post. It should look something like:

[img]http://www.yourimagehost.com/yourpic.jpg[/img]

4) Submit the post. Make sure that when you post, the "Disable BBCode in this post" square right below the writing frame is NOT marked, or else you'll post a line of text like the one I've just showed.

And that's it. You can also direct link any image on the internet and type it between the [img] tags, but some websites might assume that you're stealing bandwith from them (the very same thing happened some time ago here.) Hope this helps :) . If there are any doubts left, just PM me or post here!
