Anyone interested in Banana Fish by Akimi Yoshida or Meatmen/Joe Boy Comics
-
Hi All,
I've got volumes 1-6 of the first edition English translation of Banana Fish published by Viz Communications Inc. If enough people are interested then I'd be happy to scan them manually (a lot of page turning and button clicking so not to be undertaken lightly) but if no one's going to download them then it's not going to be worth it. Maybe people prefer edgier Yaoi rather than girly shojo.
I also have a fair few of the Meatmen gay male comic books as well as Joe Boy by Joe Philips - anyone interested in those?

Me too! Maybe if you scanned an example of what you have(one or two pages of each) and post them here we'd have a better idea of what you're offering. ::)

More information? Fair enough…
I have Meatmen Volumes 1, 2, 3, 10, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23 & 25. If you do a little bit of research and tell me what books you want scanned then i'll be happy to do that for you rather than scan something that no one wants.
Starting at the beginning - below is a review of Meatmen Volume 1 from abebooks:-
"The debut volume of MEATMEN from 1986 is an amazing collection containing a wide variety of styles from no less than 29 different cartoonists! Nico, Brad Parker, Blade, Tom Of Finland, Joe Johnson, Sean, A.Jay, Stephen, Dandy, Jerry Mills, Howard Cruse, Bruce Billings, More...
Jeffrey A. Krell, Tom Hachtman, Burton Clarke, Bing, Rick Campbell, Gerald Donelan, The Hun, Vaughn, Kurt Erichsen, Michael Goldberg & Richard Cornwell, Robert Triptow, David Young, Joe Sinardi, Gregoire, Bill Ward, and Tim Barela. (Whew!) Most of the material had appeared earlier, in The Barn 1948 (1980), Miss Thing (1973), Nova, Harry Chess In 3 Hot Vintage Episodes Vol.1 (1980), Firsthand, Manscape, In Touch, Gay Comix, Stroke, Male Review, Soho Weekly News, The Advocate, Torso, Drummer, and at least 23 different newspapers. Quite an achievement, putting all this together in one book!As usual, not everything will appeal to everyone, but I do have my own favorites...
NICO -- wonderfully photo-realistic style, both covers and 2 short stories inside (The Biker, 2 Blondes) for a total of 10 pages altogether.
COME WARS, a 16-page tribute to STAR WARS, x-rated of course. The first of many appearances by SEAN; I'd love to see all his stories collected in a single book one of these days.
HARRY CHESS: The Curse Of Kahlua Blewa by A.JAY -- A really funny serial that mixes spies, adventure & sex. My one problem with this is the art is shrunk down to fit the vertical format of the book, when it should have been MUCH bigger. There's just too much detail here that gets lost, and I'm sure I'd have had an easier time enjoying it if I didn't feel I needed a magnifying glass to do so.
MEATMAN Meets The Monstrous Milking Machine by STEPHEN -- from 1975-76, an early gay superhero parody, almost non-stop sex for 15 pages.
POPPERS by JERRY MILLS -- funny, cartoony short stories.
BILLY GOES OUT by HOWARD CRUSE -- more drama than sex, but Cruse shows everyone else how to do real comics!
Other highlights include JAYSON by Jeffrey A. Krell, MURPHY'S MANOR by Kurt Erichsen, LEONARD AND LARRY by Tim Barella, 2 photo-realistic illustrations accompanying a pair of text pieces by Blade, 4 cartoons by Gerald Donelan (consistently one of the best parts of any MEATMEN collection) and 2 very Disney-style cartoons by Gregoire-- I'd LOVE to see a lot more from this guy!"
Of Joe Philips work, I have "Boys will be Boys", "Cali Boys", Tales from the House of Morecock" Volume's 1 & 2, "For the Boys" & "Adventures of a Joe Boy" Volume 1 (cover pictures attached)

Meatmen Volume One sounds hot! I would love to see that one.
-
Seconded, the threads a bit old (hope im not necroing) but I sincerely hope the OP scans the first Meatman volume. I loved the humor and thought the art was fucking fantastic.
-
I definitely want to see some of those! It would much appreciated!

Hey tigersoul,
Are you still interested in posting Meatmen for us. I would very much love to snag that series. I can give seed bonus points to you if that will help you out. Let me know if you can or if you just can't post any of them right now.
Thanks,
Brandon
