Vampire Hunter D
Japanese novels written by Hideyuki Kikuchi and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano since 1983.
“D wanders through a far-future post-nuclear Earth that combines elements of pulp genres: western, science fiction, horror, high fantasy, H. P. Lovecraftian mythos, folklore and occult science. The planet, once terrified by the elegant but cruel Nobles (vampires), ancient demons, mutants and their technological creations, is now slowly returning to a semblance of order and human control — thanks in part to the decadence that brought about the downfall of the vampire race, to the continued stubbornness of frontier dwellers and, to the rise of a caste of independent hunters-for-hire who eliminate supernatural threats.”

Meeting Yoshitaka Amano at J-Pop Summit Festival (2009)

Yoshitaka Amano had an epic gallery opening on the 3rd floor of NEW PEOPLE building during this time. I was very surprised by the fact someone as legendary as Amano STILL loves drawing. I showed him my blackbook and provided a couple color pens, and he started to draw his world famous characters one after another. I just couldn’t resist giving him a hug.

Here’s MTV Iggy’s coverage on Amano’s gallery opening.
