Wow, finally got my copy today! Great job Udon and hope to see more translated artbooks. Perhaps a Darkstalkers or All About Street Fighter? 
Had the local comic shop special order for me. Should get it in on Wednesday. So pumped.
to Udoneko:
In a preview of the book I saw the covers of the console adaptions of the Street Fighter games. The computer adaptions (Spectrum, Amstrad, Commodore 64, X68000, Atari ST, Amiga, PCā¦) of the games are also included in the book?
When you guys were over at Capcom Japan, did you get a chance to talk to Bengus/CRMK?
Iād love to know if he has anything other than Capcom-related art available, mainly during 1993-1996ā¦
Just ordered this book myself ($27, WOO!), and canāt WAIT to wrap my paws around it, to check out the awesome artwork, and all the info packed into the bookās 300 pages!
Before my local comic shop finally got one in, I was considering getting it from Amazon.com. They were offering free shipping at the time. It was really the Borders portion of the Amazon store.
i just got my copy of this in the mail today.
it was one hell of an eye-opener for me, iāll tell ya that. all along i thought it was bengusā artwork i was being impressed by, and it turned out to be either nishimuraās or edayanās.
on a strictly quantity basis, iād say my favorite artist or them all is nishimura, but ikeno, with his dynamic angles and poses and rich colors comes in a close second.
Me Too! I was so sure that CRMK did the Zero 2 art, but it turns out it was Edayan!! Those guys really did develop a house style. But my all time favourite still has to be AKIMAN. Edayan has gone up a few pegs on my list now though!
FINALLY (after two weeks) got my copy of Eternal Challenge, and I must say, WELL worth the waitā¦
if youāve been riding the fence on getting this tome, donāt wait around, go and grab it, sight-unseen, because itāll exceed your expectationsā¦
So, Udoneko, how has Eternal Challenge sold so far?
any chance of more books in this vein? āAll About Capcomā perhaps?
I didnāt even know about this book (I donāt read the Comic forums) until I came across it at a comic place tonight. Iām probably gonna pick it up tomorrow. Looks awesome.
it IS awesome, and you definitely need one in your collection!
I knew it was coming, but I was afraid I wouldnāt be able to afford itā¦luckily, my birthday and X-Mas are right around the same time, and lo and behold, I found that I had enough cash to afford it!
I ordered it online, it took a while to get here, but now that I have it, Iām ecstatic (as you can see from my previous posts)
Any idea why Amazon.com is listing this as not released yet? None of my local comic shops have it so Iām looking into other means of aquiring it.
Some guy posted saying Amazon will get it during Dec. 05, crazy stuff.
I got mines off eBay for around a total of $35.00. $27.99 + shipping. Good luck.
Sorry Iām a little late to this thread. I tryed to order my copy at walden books. They said it wouldnāt be in till december. I live in New York, I donāt know if that makes a differenceā¦
Book stores is a wierd thing. They do their orders by the season. By the time we offer the SF EC book to them, they are already doing season 4 of 2005, so they listed that as available by Dec 2005 instead of anytime sooner, as their system just cannot back date.
Now, I am not sure what will happen if you actually order it now. Will the order go into Diamond and get shipped to them (Walden, Amazon, etc) and will they in turn ship it out immediately? I really donnoā¦
I have asked a few tomes to Devils Due and Diamond, but not one seem to be able to answer me as it seems more like what the big guys will do than any of us can controlā¦
soā¦ if you want it like ASAP, either go and tell your comic store to order it, or you can try www.herofix.com or ruppsworld.com
Thankās for the help. I tryed walden books, Borders , and barnes and noble. They all told me the same exact thing. I put an order to all 3 stores and was hoping that one of them might get it soon.
I missing issue 12. so I guess my best bet is to do the online thing.
Iāve never ordered online before. Is it hard?
No. Credit Card, address and patience (also secure server and firewall).
I used Herofix dot com. I used the paypal. The site sayās it takes 48hrs
Iām so excited. I ordered the Eternal challenge and all my missing issues. Anyone know how to get that blasted Gamepro/ sagat issue?
