This is an extremely fascinating look into a world that I never had any contact with, and the aging badly feels like all part of the wild ride. Do they end up doing that manga section talked about in the letters, and how well does that one go over?

I can't imagine even excited/positive coverage in this style gives a good impression of the comics output of Japan, let alone coverage of the super limited range of comics that were even getting imported at the time. But at the same time I'm kind of thinking, what if the wizard people really knew their stuff and everyone just sort of skipped over it while they were trying to boost actual good series? Going to be interesting to find out.

the duality of man e: also, i'm interested in what Palmer's Picks has to say after those pair of letters but couldn't find it in the scans. Is it attached to something else? Mister Olympus fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Dec 13, 2022 |

X-O posted:Which issue? I'll post it. And I'll post that article going forward as well. Both of the ones you just posted had letters talking about how Palmer's Picks is the bit of the magazine focused on underground and import comics, so the last two I guess. Thank you!

I was curious about the manga! It's interesting to think back about what became the 'canonical' anime of the 90s in the West and where wizard is on and off about some of them. They got on the Ghost in the Shell train real early, comparatively, and I remember Ah My Goddess being really popular at some point, but the Akira author's works outside of Akira itself remain pretty niche. Calling attention to Honneamise is another indicator that the people on Japan watch at Wizard had a good sense of what was going to get real big too, as Evangelion was about to air in a few months as of that article.
