2400dpi scans of Ranmaru's Zelda 2 Bonus Poster from Wanpakku Comics

  Friday, August 14, 2026   , , , , , , , , , ,

Find the full scans here. 




This is a rare little poster that is tucked into the first pages of the 1987 November issue. It was a bit hard to track down because posters are frequently removed from issues. I only knew about it because one of the original mangaka for Wanpakku, Sho Kobayashi, posted about it on Twitter
