They asked about this so long ago, I had forgotten about this book. In fact, I have not seen it. I think they used some published UY art, and sent a few questions.

Who would like to point out what is wrong with this sequence?

Well, they ran with the original page concept for issue one instead of the published one 
(spotted that in the first post and thought something looked a bit odd!)
Always like the cover to issue #92, pity I missed out on getting it...

I don't think I had ever seen the page with Gen in place of Gunichi....

That three page fragment was the very first Usagi story I drew. This was back in 1982 or '83. It had Usagi fighting that rhino.Steve Hubbell wrote:I don't think I had ever seen the page with Gen in place of Gunichi....
When I drew Samurai part 1 for Fantagraphics' UY #1, I reworked that sequence. However, I had already introduced a rhino character (Gen), so changed it to a warthog.
The original 3-pager will be in my Cartoon Art Museum show.

Really?! All three original pages featuring Gen (as noted by Stan) are in the "Art of Usagi" pages 35-37.Steve Hubbell wrote:I don't think I had ever seen the page with Gen in place of Gunichi....

I guess I must have seen the page before, but then again, it has been a while since the last time I read through the Art of Usagi book (and my memory ain't what it... what was I talking about?).Mayhem wrote:Really?!
