Flipping through my stack of old kid artwork, I came across two Shogun pieces from when I was nine. I've paired up my drawings with my childhood issues and the panels that I used for reference way back in 1979.
Looks like with this one, I drew the arm and then erased it for some major battle damage. I'm sure I added some sound effects as I doodled. Most of the time my imagination carried me away and I'd get so lost in a drawing, that it would sound like WWIII for anyone in the house.

I liked the comic well enough, though I was frustrated by the mismatch in design approach between the actual Japanese robots and the distinctly un-Japanese robots and monsters designed by Trimpe. That doesn't mean that I didn't use his art for reference as well, though! Here's an unfinished drawing of a fellow who didn't make it into the Marvel book: http://devlinthompson.blogspot.com/search/label/Shogun%20Warriors
Those are terrific and fun to see the kid inspiration. I was a big fan of the Marvel Godzilla series in those years. Herb Trimpe drew those books as well. I love his work.
