Date Change:

The release dates for "Gold Digger Issue 4" and "Ninja High School" (Issue 8) have been postponed. Both issues will now be released on January 9, 2002.

Price Increase:

Starting in January, Eidalon will increase the prices for "Gold Digger" and "Ninja High School" to EUR 3.50.

However, until the end of this year, you can still get the issues at the old price through a subscription:

DM 29.40 for 6 issues

(Austria and Switzerland DM 35.40.)

Starting in January, the subscription will increase to EUR 21.00 (Austria and Switzerland EUR 24.00.)

The price increases are due to rising paper costs.

"How To Draw Manga"

Here is the original press text:

"The first issue of How To Draw Manga is currently in its final phase.

(This is also one of the reasons for the scheduling difficulties with Gold Digger and Ninja High School.)

How To Draw Manga will be the first magazine in Germany dedicated to the topic of drawing (with a focus on manga). The great artists of the American manga scene provide insights into their techniques, discuss the most important aspects of drawing, and offer tips for both beginners and advanced artists.

Among other things, the following topics will be covered: drawing figures, perspective, mecha design, backgrounds, cover art, SD figures, layout, interactions between characters, and much more.

Featured artists include: Ben Dunn (Ninja High School, Warrior Nun Areala, Marvel Mangaverse), Fred Perry (Gold Digger, Legacy), Adam Warren (Dirty Pair, Gen 13), as well as Joe Wight, Ted Nomura, Rod Espinosa, David Hutchinson, and others.

How To Draw Manga will be published bimonthly in magazine size, with 64 pages per issue (Issue 1 will have 68 pages and forewords by Ben Dunn, Fred Perry, and Adam Warren) and will cost EUR 6.00. (Subscription price for 6 issues: EUR 36.00 / Austria and Switzerland: EUR 39.00.)"
