Does anybody know that? I just stumbled over it on ebay; must admit I've never heard of it....

Is it any good? Is it a series?? If so, how many issues does it have??
And how much Stan Sakai is in it?? Ah, so many questions, but I'm just a completly ignorant peasant...

It was published 7 years ago, and I think I did 4 or 5 pages for it. The artwork is printed in black and white and orange. It looked pretty good.

The premise of the book is that the little Nocturnal girl has a devil head-shaped lantern that takes her to different worlds. One of them was Usagi's world.

I tracked this issue down last year as part of my obsessive intent to read and own all of Usagi's appearances. It definitely wasn't a memorable Usagi moment (a brief cameo, really), so I wouldn't recommend it to any but the most obsessive of fans.

I thought it was totally cool, loved the extra orange color used. And I enjoyed Usagi's last line "Wait--! Your lantern!"

@shaxper: Tell you what, I am an obsessive fan, I think;

Thank you all for the info; I'll now see if I can get it....

I have that issue. I got it last year.
I only read the Usagi part of it though.
Mutants and Masterminds, the superhero roleplaying game did a Nocturnals sourcebook so I imagine it has its fans.

if you do... and you know where it is ...and can find it, can you bring it to MCCC and let me read it? I promise to handle it as if it were a treasure! just if it's not any trouble of course!

Oh, I know where all my Usagi comics are.

Sure, Ill bring it with me on Saturday if you want to take a look through it.

It's got a crease in it already so Im not too worried about the condition.

Thanks Mike, You're a sweety!

I got it today (from Australia! Well, some things have to go a long way....) and found it pretty good; an interesting idea, reminding me a bit of UY #100.

Thank you all for the information beforehand, I would have missed that one...

@ shaxper: you're right, it's not necessary in the context of the UY universe, but enjoyable anyway; Does that qualify me as an obsessive fan?
