As someone who has gone through so many cases of mistaken identity that I keep in touch with someone just so I can contact them to verify one of the more outlandish incidents when people doubt it, I appreciate the story you shared.
That is a seriously striking page - thank you for sharing it!
even without knowing much (or anything) about the content this is a really cool looking Manga page. And a great story about your interaction with the creator, thanks for sharing and congrats on getting the art!
It looks like GI Joe comics with the hovercraft! Although the presence of ocean water could potentially yield tentacled creatures. I can't wait for Jim Cheung to be influenced by Maeda and begin the tentacle period of his career.
Congrats on this..I have also been watching the auctions!!
Good luck on getting more
Wow, PG Maeda! That seems rare...
Great one ! Congrats Timothy !!
That hovercraft image is beautiful, but not as beautiful as the story that comes with it! By the way, Tim, over on this side of the Pacific, we call it Tentacle Porn. Kudos on the nice page acquisition!
This is a really cool page!
I am going to make that my new introduction.
Great story and great art! What a curious way to meet Toshio Maeda, I'm sure it was interesting to meet him first and then get a chance to pick up his art later on. We don't get a lot of manga art posted here on CAF, so it's always interesting when we do. I love this page of art from Toshio Maeda. What a cool hovercraft! When I first saw it, I thought it might be a page from GI Combat or some other war comic, but then I noticed the bottom panel and clearly it wasn't what I thought. Love the use of screen tones on this page. And the contrast between the tech-oriented top panel and the line art on the bottom panel is interesting. Thanks for the amusing story and the beautiful art!
Great page and story! I like the water spray to convey movement and the zipatone to add texture to the craft. Cool!
