Hojo Tsukasa Appraisal

"Angel Heart" Color Autograph Card (Tsukasa Hojo)

This item is a framed, color autograph card featuring artwork from "Angel Heart," specifically depicting the main character Xiang Ying. The artwork is presented within a white mat board and likely enclosed in a frame, though only the matting is clearly visible within what appears to be a catalog or brochure page. The card itself is rectangular, oriented in portrait style, and features a detailed illustration of Xiang Ying's face and upper torso, rendered in a distinctive manga art style. Her hair is depicted in warm brown and blonde tones, flowing around her head, and her eyes are large and expressive, hallmark of anime/manga character design. Below the character illustration, there are two distinct signatures: one in black ink that reads "TSUKASA" (likely referring to Tsukasa Hojo, the creator of 'Angel Heart' and 'City Hunter'), and another, more stylized signature or mark that is less decipherable but appears to be part of the artist's unique inscription. The title "Angel Heart" in English and its Japanese transliteration "エンジェル・ハート" are prominently displayed in red stylized text at the top right of the illustration. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible damage, wear, or fading on the artwork or matting, suggesting careful preservation or a new production piece. The crisp lines and vibrant colors indicate high-quality printing or original artwork. The presence of a product identifier 'G18-250A001' at the top of the page suggests it is part of a commercial release or appraisal documentation. The item embodies classic late 20th/early 21st-century manga illustration. It is a rare color autograph card.
