Princess / Jun (Gatchaman / Battle of the Planets) by Rafa Sandoval

Rafa Sandoval was in Tokyo for Kaigai and, the day before the big event, a small art con in Akihabara. Despite being busy all day, I managed to talk him into adding a nice picture of Gatchaman's Jun (AKA Princess) to the little red sketchbook. Battle of the Planets, the American adaptation of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (科学忍者隊ガッチャマン / Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman), was broadcast on a local UHF channel during my junior high school days and, along with Star Blazers, became"must watch" TV after school.
