AKIRA color guide drop is tomorrow, Fri. 6/17, at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT! OTOMO + OLIFF!

Published on June 16, 2022

*EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SUBCRIBERS ONLY!*

Your opportunity to acquire a piece from the most acclaimed and beloved manga classic has arrived: Over 100 color guides from AKIRA will drop tomorrow, Friday, June 17th, at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT!

Featuring Steve Oliff's beautifully colored (and often painted) pieces, and yes, RARE color samples from AKIRA creator KATSUHIRO OTOMO!

As these are among the last pieces from Steve's archives, the quality across the board is exceptionally high. It's been our continued honor to make these exceptional cultural artifacts available to fans and collectors. You can read more here.

A few important notes about ordering (PLEASE READ):

1. Shipping is via insured USPS Priority Mail in the US ($25), USPS Express Mail to Canada ($60), and USPS Express Mail International to everywhere else ($80). You can combine shipping for multiple pieces.

2. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee that the art will be available. Each request is time-stamped, and I process them all in the order they are received. In the case of multiple requests for the same piece, the first submitted request gets it. If your page is available, you will receive payment instructions. If it is not, I will do my best to let you know ASAP. Generally speaking, if you do not hear from me within the hour, you are OK and will be receiving your payment instructions later in the evening.

3. While 99% of the previous sales' orders went off without a hitch, with over 100 pieces, there will be the inevitable hiccup. I apologize in advance!

4. To those who flaked on their orders last time, you are not welcome back and any new orders will be ignored. DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO PAY FOR IT. Placing an order is a commitment to buy; it is not a placeholder. Do not order multiple pages to make sure you get something, with the intention of picking and choosing from what's available. I will cancel the entire order if that happens.

5. In the time we've been offering these pieces, we have seen many get resold on the secondary market for multiples of our prices. Steve's wish is to get these into the hands of fans and the prices are reflective of that; we respectfully ask that potential buyers respect this and not purchase for resale.

For our last AKIRA drop, we had over 600 requests for 101 pieces. The demand for these is off-the-charts. Thanks in advance for understanding if you are not able to get a piece. As always, refresh the UPDATES tab at the drop to see all the color guides at once. Time payment plans are available, please write me for approval before the drop. Thanks again and good luck tomorrow!
