Yes, that's what I figured... that these are all simply to get used to drawing the characters. They look great so far!

Hi SparklingNeon, There are some samples that Tommy Lee Edwards posted of his sketchbook on his Instagram, too. Thanks for finding those, they're great too! The style reminds me of Bill Sienkiewicz . He's an artist I liked who started back in the 1980s. It will be interesting to see what Edwards' se...

Hi Bobkat, I'm impressed too. They *LOOK* like the Science Ninja Team. This art is wonderful and I really like the direction he's going with their civvies. :) Yes, exactly. They look right.

I kinda know him through circles, one of his friends is a good friend of mine. This is awesome news, thank you Jason That's great - nice that ...

Here are a couple photos of Gatchaman among Mad Cave's other properties at their New York Comic Con 2023 booth (thanks to Transmute Jun):


They had prints of the Gatchaman graphic during the show, but it sounds like they only gave them out at certain times.

Hi all! A couple sources are reporting the Gatchaman comic creative teams a bit ahead of Mad Cave's New York Comic Con panel this Sunday, so you get to see them a little early too! First of all, the main Gatchaman series has been pushed to a June, 2024 release. The creatives involved will include Cu...
