DescriptionThis was a fully painted page by Toshio Maeda that’s also used for the cover for Black Box Boutique’s French Graphic Novel release. He was quite pleased with this piece as it was fully painted by himself without any studio help. Most manga are produced with help from their studio artists who work on backgrounds and such to help with scheduling and producing more work.Legend of the Superbeast was published by Million comics on April 15th 1988, Legend of the Superbeast (Japanese title: 超獣伝説 – Chōjū Densetsu) is a short, single volume SF/Erotic story set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity desperately seeks to eke out an existence against the backdrop of a harsh radioactive environment, debauched cyborgs, and a terrifying new breed of mutated human. It is the year 19XX. The world as we know it has been reduced to nothing but a vast wasteland. Deadly radioactive winds beat against the infertile land and its countless deserts as humanity is forced to scavenge for any food or water it can beg, borrow, or steal. During the latter part of the 1980′s, mankind found itself on the brink of a digital revolution. Humanity’s greed for technology rapidly overshadowed it’s code of ethics and people soon became so obsessed with life in the digital age that basic morals soon became abandoned entirely. Before long, countries became nationwide police states embroiled in bitter civil wars with underground guerrilla organizations, and long standing gangster rivalries began to solve their disputes with laser guns and mini nuclear fusion reactor powered weapons. Even lowly hoodlums had began to sacrifice their own body parts in exchange for steel replacements. Civilization went through a seemingly endless cycle of destruction and rebuilding until mankind’s darkest hour finally arrived. Complete nuclear annihilation of the planet. Armageddon.
