This art is wonderful and I really like the direction he's going with their civvies.

Yes, exactly. They look right. The little details for each character are there.

Maybe Dr. Nambu finally gave the team a clothing budget?

There are some samples that Tommy Lee Edwards posted of his sketchbook on his Instagram, too. Very watercolor and dreamy kind of look going on:

No Ryu yet, but he did make some other posts related to Gatchaman and the comic coming up!

I believe those are "practice" lol. He made a few on his Facebook too, he really is trying to stay close to the originals

I'm really impressed with his work, Stardust. I like the direction he's going.

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' series work will be like.

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

Daniel Hansen posted some previews of a Gatchaman comic on his Instagram, guessing for the Free Comic Book Day issue or something else ahead? Looks cool so far
