Is it just me or...

Hi all !
I'm a fan of comics since my childhood and each month I like to see what new comics will be published. I was looking the solicitations from DC for November when my eyes has been attracted by :

I'm not into manga so I don't know the author or the story... but am I the only one to see a similarity with David Sylvian on the cover ?

The character is actually inspired by Nick Rhodes. This comic is only now being translated into English but is actually an older work. My friend sent me a scan several years ago where the artist, Shimizu, made clear in a side panel who the inspiration was:

That one can only be Nicky!!

Here's another scan from my friend. It's the same artist, this time showing John Taylor in the right panel. It's a Korean mangwha, same thing as a Japanese manga.



Fun to see this kind of stuff!

This is really cool!! I think I'll have to check those out
Do you know something more about it??

I know Moon Child is out now, I think up to volume 4. I don't know if the side panel with Nick will be included or which volume it appears in. Useless, aren't I? LOL!

The friend who sent me these is from Thailand. She said at the time that this artist is one of her favorites, and then I saw that Moon Child came out this year.

The panel with John is from a different manga but the same artist, I don't know the title. Moon Child is the only comic by that artist licensed so far in the States.

She sent me one more scan which I've attached. She saw this on ebay years ago and doesn't recall the artist or title, only that it stated it was a Korean mangwa, but the writing looks Japanese to me. This one has David, and was supposed to be a boys-love story.
