Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Hi,

I am working on a Usagi Colour comic project at the moment to go with the below:

http://wadeboski.blogspot.com/2011/02/u ... jimbo.html

I just need Mirage issues 2, 14 & 16 as well as the DH Green Persimmon special to finish off.

Seeing as I live in NZ the colour comics are few and far between and these aren't popping up on Ebay. If you do have any of these and wanted to part with them I would be most grateful. I can pay by paypal.

Thanks everyone!

Regards,

Wade

Hi wadeboski,

I've got a copy of Green Persimmon color special. If you want it, it's yours !

I have no idea of his current value (not much I guess). So your price + shipping (I am in Canada).

Nice binding work !

Woo hoo! Another one of those cool self-bound hardcovers? I will be looking forward to seeing pictures when you are finished!

Thanks to some helpful people I now only need Issue 2 from the Mirage series to be able to complete the bind.

The book binder I use will probably be out of a job by Christmas time

So if anyone has an issue 2 that is surplus to their requirements I would be very grateful.

I have a spare MOC Usagi from the 200X TMNT series I am willing to part with if that would help sweeten anyone's appetite.

Wade

Hey Wade,
Just out of curiousity, will you be including the two MySpace Dark Horse Presents stories and the Dark Horse Free Comic Book Day story in this volume?

I will most likely add in extra bits and pieces to up the page count - mainly because I need the spine to be thicker so I can get the foil stamp on it to match the rest.

Won't be a goer unless I can get that No. 2 Mirage though...

Hey Wade, your bound volumes look great so far. I'm considering doing my first bound set, so I can have all the color stories to date in one book (since they are generally only reprinted in black and white).
I'm hoping I've got everything I need all ready to go, but can anyone tell me what I'm missing if my plan is to try to compile every color Usagi Story to date? I'm pasting my planned contents below.
Thanks!

Steve Hubbell pointed out I was missing the story "Netsuke" from Wizard 97, and the two stories ("Tsuru" and "A Lesson in Courtesy") that ran in Dark Horse Extra 20-23 and 45-48, respectively.

I found the Wizard issue for a buck, and it came in the mail today. Does anyone have copies of those Dark Horse Extras for sale, or hi-res scans they would be willing to share? Even if I can get the originals, I'm going to have to scan and reduce them to make pages that will fit in with the rest of my book.

I have all these stories in the b/w trades, but it would be fun to have them included in my homemade color volume.

Thanks in advance!
