I do on occasion delve into eBay, just to see what's out there that's new and special and too rich for my blood.

The Shadowrun Manga caught my eye because I didn't recall them as actually existing - and then I ran across this ancient article which would seem to lend credence to the posting. Still only an item the most eccentric (or Japanese-fluent) collector.

I actually asked Adam about these t-shirts; there are couple different designs from the same seller.

I include the Shadowrun thesis only to encourage people not to buy it (although it's kind of them to include free shipping given the price - US$60 is about average). Anyway, it's a 68-page thesis written in English by a non-American student, and general feedback on the contents (and especially the relevance to Shadowrun) has been poor. Skip this one.

Shadowrun posters are rare enough, but this is a really cherry example of an early FASA pin-up. Minus the border, it's the picture from Native American Nations, Vol. 1.
