Indeed and the artist, Jock, is getting his very own "Art of" book released in September. Should be a nice sized coffee table book for the price. I pre-ordered it on Amazon.

I assume that's fan art. I had to stare at it for a good 40 seconds to decipher the title through that font, and that's mostly because I finally noticed where it says "Ken Russell's" above it.

I was completely puzzled trying to figure out what "The OFVHS" is.

I agree. The Pale Man and the entire scene involving him are ridiculously memorable.

I found this on the other site, so credit goes to them

"Lone Wolf & Cub" box set

I wonder if they are going to include the "Shogun Assassin" versions.

What would make a perfect Lone Wolf & cub set would be if they could sync the japanese audio for the Shogun Assassn edit

I was so pissed that the PQ was messed up for the Animeigo set for LWaC. I'm hoping that the Criterion version will correct it but then again, the Criterion Ladysnowblood suffers from the colour variation so who knows...
