Star Warrior Bismark illustrations 13

One of the few illustrations made for “Seijushi Bismark” realized by Takane Yoshiyuki (高荷 義之), an illustrator, showing the male cast with Bismark's two forms as well as the city of Ganymede in the background. This illustration was used often to promote Bismark.

I couldn't find any info about Takane Yoshiyuki taking part to the production of Bismark... so he probably only realized this illustration as promotional material.

Star Warrior Bismark illustrations 12

One of the few illustrations made for “Seijushi Bismark” realized by Sekiguchi Inoichirō (関口猪一郎), showing the boys fighting the Deathculas while Bismark is fighting a Deathcula Giant Mecha in the background.

This illustration appeared on TV Magazine (テレビマガジン) number of December 1984...

...as a background image for an article about Bismark...

... due to that month's theme being "Hero Robot gathering!" (ヒーロー・ロボット大集合!).

The Deathcula Giant Mecha seems to be the one Bismark fought against in Episode 3.

The cell of the original art was autographed, framed and sold.

This web is a treasure, it has been around from the SRaTSS fandom golden age. Though I can’t speak German either I’m delighted to see it living till now... I still mourn the loss of mine as well as many others that belonged to my friends...

Tagging any Star Sheriffs fans here - the German website yuma-city.de has gotten a big upgrade (yet keeping the 90’s nostalgia look) and has brought back their old forum section. (it’s not Yuma, AZ, but a Yuma City of Planet Yuma, somewhere far in the universe :D )

They also have a lovely section of fan art. I got my own page, too, yay! Check it out here.
