Katsuhiro Otomo - Akira (Signed reproduction with sketch) (2)

11.5“x16.5“ (29x42cm)
signed with dedication
2005

The 2nd copy I was able to acquire from french manga journalists who were there when Otomo came to Paris.

On June 4th 2005 Katsuhiro Otomo visited the Virgin Megastore on Champs-Élysées in Paris for a ~2h signing session. The first visitors had a chance to get a signed reproduction page from the Akira manga with an original sketch. This is one of those copies, purchased from one of the visitors.

One of the visitors documented Otomo’s visit in his blog:
