Did you actually number these? That would be cool.
Todd Shogun suggested possibly numbering it in case the opportunity to do another one ever came up, but I felt it would not be practical since the title is the "Usagi Yojimbo Dojo 20th Anniversary Special" and that only comes around once.
I think he meant as in ""87/150"

It really is a fantastic idea and gesture. I'm very excited to see it in person.

If Stan gets them in time, I might ask him to bring one or two over to the UK... or more, depending on who from here is going to LFCC...

I added a list of everyone who has requested a copy in the original post for this thread, so please check and make sure your name is listed if you asked for a copy. And there are still copies available if anyone else wants to request one.

And a big thank you to everyone who felt that overwhelming urge to donate towards the production costs of this, the first Usagi Yojimbo Dojo produced limited edition comic.

Your contributions are very much appreciated.
Holy cow! They look great!
Quite an undertaking Steve! Many, many thanks are in order.
:D

The 20th Anniversary comic looks great. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Thank you for all your hard work Steve. Hope to see some Dojo members at Comic Fest this weekend. Going to try and make it Saturday. Sensei has a panel at 4pm on Saturday.

I was actually hoping you might be able to "distribute" some of them to any Dojo members in Europe who can't make it to any of Stan's convention appearances.

International mail out bound from the US is getting more and more outrageously expensive every year. It costs over $30 (US) to send an untrackable (9"X12") flat rate Priority envelope now. :shock: Ridiculous!

Yes, there are 150 numbered copies, plus an additional 10 AP copies for Stan. I also have a small batch of scratch and dent copies (about 10), and a few extras which the printer surprised me with.

I mailed off a priority box with Stan's AP copies and 30 of the numbered copies yesterday. The lady at the post office said they could arrive on Thursday, so there IS A CHANCE that Stan will have some copies at Comic Fest.

Tracking Number: 9505510586006040807694

I plan to mail some more copies to Stan so that he has enough to take to England.

And I will be stopping at the post office today to mail out a couple copies to Ken Mitchroney and to finally get an estimate on mailing costs for in the US and internationally. I will post those later today.

I am not home right now, but should return to Temecula on Thursday before going to Comic-Fest. Please send me a list of those who would like to pick up their copies at Comic Fest.

Same for the UK. I expect Mayhem will pick up most everyone's copies, but some Dojo members may be at either London or Cardiff conventions and will want to pick up their own. Also, I hope to see Fanfan in Paris, so may give him his copy and any other Dojo members who are there.

For those who get their copies directly from Stan, be sure to make use of the centerfold space....

I probably won't be able to make it to any convention this year, but I would be grateful if my copy was passed along to Mayhem, as shipping cost from UK is lower. (Let's hope they will arrive in time)

Shipping costs for those wanting the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo 20th Anniversary Special mailed to them in the USA:

PACKAGING
$0.10 - Manila envelope
$0.15 - backing boards (2)
$0.15 - sketchbook size comic bag

POSTAGE
$2.54 - postage (First-Class Mail® parcel)
$6.45 - Priority Mail (Flat Rate Envelope)


International shipping will depend on location, so if anyone wants a copy mailed to them internationally but are either unable to attend one of the shows that Stan Sakai will be attending or are located outside of Europe where Mayhem can relay their copy to them (i.e. Australia), please send me a PM with your address so that I can get a price quote from the post office.

If Mayhem is picking up your copy directly from Stan in London and relaying it to you, please let both Stan and Mayhem know as soon as possible.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
