Gundam Wing: Episode Zero Manga

2002 Viz comics English adaptation of the mangaMobile Suit Gundam Wing: Episode Zero. Translated and adapted by Mark Simmons and Lillian Ols

I scanned and uploaded Episode Zero! The only other version that's available on Internet Archive is deep fried to hell and half of it is a re-typed dubious fan translation. Since this is such an important part of GW canon, I felt it my duty to provide a copy that people can actually read! ...And do you know what I discovered? Not only is the English copy of Episode Zero that we're familiar with flipped horizontally from the original, it's been cropped and resized. The Japanese version of Episode Zero is bigger, printed on better paper, and it's gorgeous. It's a work of art. The screen tones are subtle, the lines are crisp, the sound effects don't intrude on the artwork, the panel compositions actually makes sense. Viz did this comic *so* dirty.

Like, imagine the amount of psychic damage flipping one of your drawings horizontally causes-- now imagine drawing a whole comic and having someone flip the entire thing horizontally and cropping it by a few centimeters on all sides. If I were Akira Kanbe I'd have these people tried in the Hague. Anyway, look how beautiful the originals are: (more under the cut)
