There are at least two volumes of Pengo-N out. I have volume I. Unfortunately, it's in Japanese, and I only know about two dozen words of the language (at the time I didn't care, because the price is good). I've had a hard time figuring out what's going on, but the pictures are clear enough that dialogue is almost unnecessary. There is a note by the author, however, in english, explaining that there is an english version available (done by the author himself; no secondary translators here! Straight from the horse's mouth, you might say...) but I haven't found it yet. He says that nearly everything in the series (except the plot) is completely possible, in that it could happen. He also said that he is going to try to keep the storyline suitable for all ages, and I salute him for not jumping on the bandwagon of indecency. There is a brief mention of Viz Video, but I fear that it is only of potential negotiations, and doesn't mean that Pengo will be a cartoon. Also unfortunately, he always signs his name in Japanese characters (even in the English version), so I don't know who he is (and it's too small to scan into the computer, so I can't post it as-is). This has been the biggest obstacle in finding more, I have found. (Hey, I don't blame him. I'd probably hand-sign my comics in English, no matter what language they were published in, if I ever published comics.)

This page is far from complete. Come back when I've gotten it translated.
