While treated very romantically, this is one of the few times I've seen Sato do anything where Garma isn't attached to the hip with Char.

I should have this one up today, if not tomorrow, if time is kind to me haha.

Originally completed on November 11th, 1981, it would later be released at Comiket 19 on December 20th of that year.
The plot is based on the real Battle of Sekigahara of 1600, which happened in what is now the Gifu Prefecture at the end of the Sengoku period. M gave me his copy he got years ago.

Garma standing with a sword on his shoulder, his hair is long and his face is highly masculine. The book title, in Japanese script, is above his head.

Scanned in from vol. 9 of Anime Research Group ESPIAL's Esperanto imprint, primarily a Edo era Gundam parody titled The Battle of Sekigahara (関ヶ原). The main manuscript is illustrated by Shio Sato (Simone Yotsuya) and contains a rare hetero piece between Garma x Icelina!

The throuple I think about every day

a stylized Gundam / Yasuhiko inspired drawing of Boba Fett, Leia Organa and Han Solo. Boba looks to his right with an angry face at Han who's disinterested but grumpy. Leia looks at the viewer with a Doge-face style "wow" expression. The drawing is signed Chris de la Bigne and is greyscale

Aww, thanks so much!!

Thank you! Enjoy!

Various comics, albeit that this one is actually only about 15 pages tops. The style is very much of the 1990s, which is interesting, and a lot of simplistic choices were made in its production. I will be offering this one if anyone is interested! Free ship in the US.

Many of the artists are not listed as there isn't a colophon, so its been hard tracking who's who.

I recently archived a relatively obscure Legend of the Galactic Heroes doujinshi by the circle Octopus Trap, who's had a trail of over 30+ years of producing work! While short, this comes from a collection of 70+ books:
archive.org/details/lege...

front cover of the legend of the galactic heroes doujinshi in question - Yang and Reinhard are on the cover. The drawings are dramatic with lots of screentone while the background is a rosy pink.

The front cover from the upcoming release (a little delayed due to some hardware issues) of Octopus Trap's Legend of the Galactic Heroes 2 doujinshi. At only about 15 pages, this is a short work from Comiket 40 by a circle that existed for almost 20+ years. Yang and Reinhard are on the cover:

More goodies.

Black and white advert from a 1980 2000AD to send off for the new Boba Fett figure

Another picture that refuses to rotate. An apology card from palitoy for the late delivery of my admiral akbar figure that I sent off for. I think it took something like three months to arrive

Is it an AT-AT improbably scaling a wall? No, it's another fucking picture that won't rotate.

The 1992 wide screen editions of the first three Star Wars films and the collected trilogy after George Lucas started playing with them in 1997.

"Well, anyway, it's a book about Garma-chan ♡ Garma-chan and nothing but Garma. "VIOLET SHADOW" will be published in April next year!!" The first ad for Violet Shadow, a Garma Zabi anthology doujinshi, was announced in 1981 within Kage Miyabi's BOTTLE imprint. This work hasn't been seen in a while!

As promised, I fully archived P.L.O's Lectori Salutem J. This took a long while to edit as the pages required very specific attention, but I'm happy to have a record of it finally. To view the archives, please visit the links below. This is a very special, insightful BL journal with tons of artists:

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Boba Fett figures, several of them, as depicted in the Star Wars Holiday Special. One is by Gentle Giant and the other is by Hallmark. Behind them is a wrapped and signed copy of John Celestri's animation book and setting documents on the short.

FedEx as well, people are reporting items being held at their Olive Branch location for weeks due to them being bogged down thanks to customs. It's a damn shame.

this is like half of r/ups now

Hi Andrew,

You have a new invoice for $63,755.71

Tariff Fee on T Shirt

Total Due: $83.27

Government Charges: $59.27
Brokerage Charges: $24.00

How to go about disputing an incorrect tariff charge?

Total Due: $82.92

Government Charges: $68.92
UPS Brokerage fees: $14.00

I’ve received 15 different duties and tariff charges for items I didn’t order.
Customer Seeking Help
The title is the crux of the issue. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve received numerous brown envelopes all charging me for duty and tariff fees associated with items that I never ordered.

The seller is somebody I’ve bought from before, but the last time I purchased from them was several months ago and my name is on the sold to slot. The “shipped to” person is someone I don’t know and the address and tracking address are both unrelated to me.

I’ve sent emails to an address given to my by the one time I was able to get through the phone number listed on the paper bill. They said the invoices will be removed in 4-6 weeks but now I’ve started receiving late fee bills on top. I’ve tried to call in again once a day, but I either get hung up on or my call drops once the wait lasts over an hour.

Any advice? I just don’t want this to go to collections or affect my credit for something I didn’t order or have any relation to besides my name being on something it shouldn’t have.
