"Sometimes one, sometimes five; the white shadow that moves unseen..."
They debuted in the US as Battle of the Planets, then we knew 'em as G-Force, and then Saban released them as Eagle Riders. But they were always were, and will always be- the Kagaku Ninjatai, the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman!
Released back in October 1972 by Tasunoko, they revolutionized anime as we know it. Being the first sentai, Gatchaman created the classic formula for almost all animes that followed it. So you can say I was pretty lucky to be part of the comic book revival by Alex Ross and Top Cow Productions. ^___^
This was the 2-page spread in issue #1, layouts and corrections by Alex Ross, pencils by me, and the amazing colors were by Shane Law of Udon Studios. I though this would be a good post after the last one(which of course, was another retro anime revived in comics )
This incredible bird-costumed team deserves to be praised more.

It was about time I uploaded an icon for my profile. The profile I've selected is something that will be familiar to all fans of the popular "Transformers" brand. I'm a fan of the brand myself, so it's safe to say that I'm proud of my new icon.

It's been a long time since I saw this anime. I can hardly remember how things were after being overshadowed by another show entitled Voltes. HAHa. Anyway, love your works.
