Looking for a specific piece of Usagi art.

Hi, new user here. Been reading Usagi since he veeeery first came out in Albedo.

Got a question, though. I lost a huge chunk of my old comics and magazines years ago due to extensive water damage. One of those was a very prized WittyWorld #1 with the Stan Sakai interview. I have looked everywhere I live, and cannot find another one (I don't buy stuff online, been burned BADLY by doing that). I'm looking for a specific piece of art from inside that particular magazine. It's of Usagi, coming right at you with his sword raised high (and without his sandals). It's pretty unmistakable. Does anybody have a scan of that particular piece? Been looking for a LONG time now, and can't find it anywhere. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I really would like to have that particular piece again.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome :)

Sorry to hear about the water damage, sadly an all-too-often thing from other US collectors I know (and my girlfriend on top one time with items in her basement). I've not heard of this Witty World, so if someone can produce the goods, look forward to seeing the art also!

When I get home tonight I'll scan it for you...unless someone here beats me to it.

That was the first issue of Witty World, and there were two covers--one with me at the drawing board, and a blank variant cover that you or someone else could draw.
