Street Fighter Comic Creators Unveil Tribute Book
Udon Entertainment has unveiled Street Fighter Tribute, a gorgeous book compiling art from the company, as well as numerous guest artists, that pays homage to Capcom's seminal fighting series.
The book, which goes on sale August 31, will set fans back $80 plus shipping costs. Fans can now pre-order the work through Udon's website.
According to the official promotional page, artists involved in the 320-page, hardcover book run the gamut from Udon's own in-house artists to Penny Arcade's Jonathan Gabriel (aka Mike Krahulik).
As with Udon's own comic series based on the game, the art included in the book is utterly stunning. Only six preview images are available on the site, but that small sample is enough to earn my pre-order cash.

Two things: First, the $80 hardcover is the special edition, and a softcover will be available in the fall. (And yeah, they will have some at SDCC.) And second, Jonathan Gabriel is a fictional character, not the actual name of the PA artist.
Think that needs explaining, hm? Alright, I've added an aka for those who aren't familiar with the man's nom de plume.

She's here, guys :) http://nude-alexis-bledel.tripod.com/
Why nitpick over something like that? He gained his celebrity with the name "Gabe," not Mike.
That's like correcting someone's article about Madonna and telling them to refer to her as... whatever her real name is.
Personally, I find it disturbing how hot Chun Li looks and how 12-year-old at the same time. I feel like I'm looking at child pr0n.
Yes, I know it's the art style. It's called humour.
If it helps Squiffy, each of the pieces seem to have a substantially different art style -- just have a look at the previews page.
Yeah some of them have that almost mysoginistic hyper-sexualization, but others portray an ominous, almost dark tone; the Cammy + Andore piece for instance.

That Chun Li has the eyes of a kitten in a velvet painting.

We have had rumble since launch
web sites:
Hopefully it'll be available in limited amounts at San Diego Comic Con since the wife and I plan to be there in July. Since we live in Mexico having the book shipped here is waaaay expensive and the book is already $80 (which I'll gladly pay since I own both the Street Fighter 15th Anniversay book and the Complete Street Fighter HC that Udon released (both, again, purchased at Comic Con).
