I like old school Gundam stuff because it’s cheesy and often times completely bat shit crazy since they had no idea what they were doing. So, Im introducing another mini project of sorts that pulls from a serialization that is the single oldest series I’ve ever decided to work on. The Gundam MSV Ace Pilot Series of Biographies originally ran in Comic Bon Bon magazine from December 1983 until July of 1984 and focused on three heroes: Johnny Ridden, Shin Matsunaga and Roy Greenwood. These same three characters would later pop up (along with Thomas Kurtz) in their own individual stories by Oki Hajime, only this time under the title of “Gundam Pilot Series of Biographies.” Nonetheless, this is an interesting look into the world of Gundam shortly after it became popular and was still trying to find its footing. Enjoy the first of eight installments!
