If you don't mind the Dark Horse Copyright logo on it, you should be able to see them at:

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your search. The only "art only" covers I've seen are the 6 or so in the Cover Galley.

Here's a cropped version of UY 73. :P

Hope these are of use then. They are not quite perfect since I just can't get things to sit on the scanner straight, but pretty close..

PS
Sorry about the fingerprints on #63, I didn't notice them until after I scanned it. Proof that I actuallly read my comics? :D

Hey Steve,

Those scans came out nice. Have you considered scanning in the missing covers for the Gallery (issues 63-87)?

Time permitting of course. :wink:

What do you mean, they came out nice? They are crooked and lop-sided! And way too big...
:shock:

Maybe it's the settings on my browser, but the scans I see are 4" x 6". :?

Oh well...

Hi again.

Steve, can I ask a stupid, question?
On the "Meet Stan" poster thingy, is that an Old Usagi with Jotaro? *are those bushi-old eyebrows?*. Or is it some one else with a Young Usagi? *but don't I see Usagi's Scar?*. Or is it neither? I'm confused. But its some Great "Stan-Art", as always!

That's an older Usagi with the scar and bushy eye brows. It was one of many, many con drawings, such as those that grace the back covers of the comics. I regularly send Dark Horse copies of those drawings. They sent a bunch to the library so they can have a choice of which art to use for their promotion. That was their choice.

Maybe Dark Horse will some of the more unusual drawings as back covers--such as the "wild and crazy Usagi" ala Steve Martin, or the hip-hop version, or super hero Usagi.

Is that the Seattle Public Library in the background? Did you or someone with the library add it to the image?
