Tales of giant mechs by Kevin J. Anderson, Jody Lynn Nye, Graham McNeill, Gini Koch, Peter Clines, Jason Hough & Ramez Naam and more!

About this project,
Back in 2013 a little movie called Pacific Rim rekindled our love of giant monsters. It gave editor Nick Sharps an idea that grew to become Kaiju Rising: Age of Monsters. Thanks to Kickstarter and Ragnarok Publications, Nick’s dream became reality, and a massive anthology was born. From early on, we've envisioned a companion anthology to Kaiju Rising, focused on the other half of the equation that made Pacific Rim so much fun—giant robots! And so, Ragnarok is proud to introduce this anthology by 25 of today's most talented storytellers. We give you...MECH: Age of Steel.

REVEAL! Here is the exclusive art print I did for Sean Linkenback's LIMITED DELUXE EDITION OF 100 of his upcoming book THE ART OF JAPANESE MONSTERS which is a tome of all posters and art from Japanese Sci FI and Kaiju Eiga films. This art print will be signed by Akira Takarada(left), Haruo Nakajima(right) and myself and only in the deluxe edition of the book available via Sean. I wanted the art to look "document" like and not too slick reflecting the age of the original movie.
