Impressive second issue for Animag. I bought a bunch of back issues from Lone Star Comics through their site - I am discovering these issues for the first time and it's fun. The second issue features more full color glossy pages. The front and back covers are actually gatefolds with two fold out posters for Arion and Iczer 1.

Leiji Matsumoto time. Galaxy Express 999 is on the cover for the July issue. Had not idea that VIZ released this on VHS.
