Miyazaki responsible for one of the Vipers?  WOW

[JG]

Unm.. no.  Maybe one artist came out of the Toei Animation shop, but Hayao Mizuyaki most certainly did not.  He had much bigger fish to fry in the early 90s than simple video games.  Plus his art doesnt quite match anything in VIPER.

Half the people (or more) that worked for Silence, and later Sogna actually came from the Ranma 1/2 anime team at Kitty Films/Studio Deen.  That's why the characters in early works like the original Guynarock (especially Minimum Guynarock) and the Reserve series look so much like characters out of the Ranma series.  Note that the end of the Ranma series takes place right around the time the Silence/Sogna brand took off (1992)

I think Moquin was just making a witty comment about the random inclusion of those last two archives.

Nice collection nonetheless, applebread. Thanks.

Rumiko Takahashi in my Viper porn?   

[Hyperguy]

I'm actually kinda curious as to why those last two nonViper artbooks were included in this set.  Makes no sense to me. :S

All the same, these are quite a find.  Some of these appear to be first editions too.  I could have sworn that in the Viper Series 1 here there were a few extra pages of design sketches not present in my paper Viper Series 1.

I was half expecting Viper aficionado JGOO to chime in.

Sorry, I've been away for a few days.  Work has been brutal.

HG, what is the date on the back inside flap of the dust cover of your copy?  Every Series 1 book I've come across is a first edition, dated 1994-12-10, and the last page is numbered 100, just like the scan.

Kudos to the scanner for also scanning the bookmark though.  Those are exceptionally rare.  Not so many kudos for putting the Series 4 bookmark in the Series 1 file though...
