Akiko Storytime

Hi Zig Forums
I'd like to share one of my favorite comics of all time, Akiko by Mark Crilley

Akiko was originally published in 1995

This first issue was eventually reprinted in color in 2000, but I like black and white comics better.

The art's a little rough in the first issue, but it gets better.

Interestingly enough, someone else is already midway through storytiming this series, but for whatever reason they left out the first issue that you just so happen to be storytiming here.

This isn't the last big wall we'll see in this comic.

Oh man, I missed it. I've been meaning to do this for the last year or so.
Serves me right for procrastinating until I was unemployed.

There's some things Crilley is good at, and some things he's not.
Faces, maybe 6/10, but machinery and background, straight 10/10

Well, I appreciate it nonetheless. I couldn't find anywhere to read the first part for free.

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy Crilley's detailed work?
He and Jeff Smith spoiled me.

We've got a handful of bonus pages, a consistently fun feature Crilley does.
