GATCHAMAN LD ARTWORK
You may link to this web page, but please let me know. Please don't use these pictures on your web page, I don't want my page to look like every other one.
Gatchaman LD artwork copyright Pioneer LDC Japan. Please don't charge for distribution of any images. These LDs are all out of print.
I don't have the spellings in English of the artists who did the LD covers for the first series. However, I know numbers 4, 7 and 20 were done by OAV designer Yasuomi Umetsu.
As for the other images, the B&W drawings are from Yasuomi Umetsu's 1999 book called "ART WORKS" which was released in Japan. It is a good review of his work up to that time. The single picture of Jun is from an English language book called "The New Generation of Manga Artists Volume 1 -- The Koh Kawarajima Portfolio". Next to that is a hand painted garage kit. It's not mine. I remember it sold for a lot of money on a Yahoo Japan auction.
I will remove the images if requested to by the copyright holder.
