Animag – Aura Battler Dunbine – Issue 2 -1987

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.

March 26, 2012 by Lance Heiskell 1 Comment

This issue is all about anime soundtracks - (not to mention having Akira on the cover to get additional sales.)

Practice Makes Awesome

A Few Tips Upon Reading

First off, find a secluded area and pour yourself a beverage of choice. You must cleanse the palate to take in the delicacies of the nostalgia I'm about to throw down.

Second, if it’s cold where you live, grab a blanket, maybe two. If at all possible, sit down while reading. I hate standing, never stood for it, never will.

Finally, see if you can find the encrypted message left in the third magazine post.
