Here's a little summer flavored Roll comic from Hideki Ishikawa called "Get Back Here!"


From CFC Style Fan Book volume 3, & co-starring Darkstalkers' own Q-Bee. You hardly need the dialog to understand the comic, but here it is anyway:

Panel 1

"Tsutaetai, kono omoi..." (Roll is singing her theme song)

Panel 3

Rock says "What was that for!?" while Roll apologizes, "Oops, I'm sorry!"

Retromags Week

I'm going to try something a little different this week. Have you guys heard of Retromags? It's a site that archives pre-millennium video game magazines for posterity. Our video gaming heritage preserved for the digital age! I think it's a great project, and I've had a blast perusing through old magazines lately, and I want to share this nostalgia explosion with you, my friends and followers!

So instead of my usual thing, this week I'm going to update every day with something nifty and Mega Man related that I've uncovered from their vast and ever-growing collection.

Translation Mondays will return next week!

So here's your free pic friday advance. In honor of the Mega Man Legends board finally returning to Capcom's forums after many years of absence, here's some DASH for ya!


From CFC CAP! volume 7. Tiesel breaks down his latest master plan for finally stopping that blue boy (or here, "Blue Man"). I hope someday he finally gets to use it in Legends 3.

Dr. Right Explains It All

In the year 1993+a, the brilliant researcher Dr. Right began answering fan mail for Club Capcom magazine. He answered their questions, no matter how trivial or silly, and they all were enjoying their peaceful days. However, the mad scientist Dr. Wily became jealous of all that attention, and decided to take over the column once and for all...

Friday Filler

Today's Free Pic Friday comes from CFC-SFB v3, Rockman, Blues and Rush done in a child's drawing style. There is a whole series of pictures done like this used as filler art, often appearing in the Fan Art/Contributions sections of the books. This one in particular was used to promote the Great Grand Rockman Expo '97 event.


That is one grumpy Rush. And not every robot can pull off a bright yellow ruff, but Blues does it with flair. The style is charming, in its own way...

I started this blog one year ago today, so I thought it would be a fine time to do a little self-inventory.
