Those early days before Stan nailed down his style and everyone looked a little weird.

And now we meet two very unique characters in the series. Stan would regret making Hikiji human, and will later on hide his face whenever possible.

I'm back! Figure I can churn out a couple more stories for the night. I'm not one of those amazing story timers who can just fill an entire thread with these, but I'm interested in seeing how far I can get. So look out for these threads cropping up after today!
Thank you for your service. UY is indeed a great series.

I just started reading the Fantagraphics two volume set. I've had it for like 9 months. I'm just about halfway through the second volume. I finished Circles last night. I've already bought the first four Saga's. Seven is out of print though. So that'll suck. I can't wait for Saga 8. I can go for issues after that.

For whatever it's worth, I got confirmation from Dark Horse they are planning one, but no timeline. My spitballing guess is after volume 31 has been on the racks at least a year. So June at the earliest. I'm just so annoyed at the shrunk art in the normal volumes, I could never bring myself to do it. The Saga's are perfect. If not for how they all seem to come pre damaged anyway.

I wonder who has a higher body count in comics. Usagi, or Frank Castle?
March 16, 2018 - 09:38
Every store that has them, they seem to be damaged already. I decided to be slow and careful in getting them, and sort of forgot about it for a while. Now that I'm going for it, I've gotta pay out the ass for 7. Sad trombone. Oh well.

The wood cutters' first appearance! I don't recall them ever having a horse after this, so it probably got confiscated again.
