On a business trip to Yamaguchi Prefecture recently, I happened to see this bus, decorated with Shima Kosaku panels! Coincidence that Mulele and I had just recorded a podcast where we talked about this comic!
There’s even a special bus stop for it!
Bound for promotion on the Shima Kosaku bus!

What I love about this bus is that it’s an advertisement for the COMIC, not a movie adaptation or anything, and even features goddamn panels with word balloons!
A few months ago, I was walking around with this weird feeling whenever I saw buses with Watchmen characters on them. If it had been Dave Gibbons art instead of a muscular Nite Owl and photographs of actors, I might have fallen on my bum. As it was, I survived the experience. But this bus is AWESOME!

You’re right — The actual comic panels certainly do ratchet up the awesomeness!
