Space Usagi in Color

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

I recently got a copy of the third Fantagraphics color special, and I was thrilled to discover that it included a color version of a short Space Usagi story as a bonus. Were any other Space Usagi stories colored? Were the Space Usagi issues published by Mirage originally in color?

There were three SU mini-series, each with 3 issues. The first two mini-series were published by Mirage, and the third by Dark Horse. The second, White Star Rising, was in color.

Thanks for the information; I'll need to track down some copies of the color version of "White Star Rising" sometime soon.

I'm glad to hear that there's some more Space Usagi in color. I have the Space Usagi TPB from Dark Horse, and I could imagine the stories looking great in color.
