KANEDA!!!

My starting point is this Bartkira poster, showing Bart pointing a gun at the viewer while workers of the Springfield nuclear power plant walk around him, busy with their work. If I remember correctly, there is original art from Katsuhiro Otomo that this parody is based from, where Kaneda points a gun at the viewer, and the Colonel's soldiers are walking around him, getting things ready for the 2020 Olympics. If I'm remembering correctly, is the original available in poster form anywhere?

Best answer: The original is the title page to Episode 42 of the manga. There's a copy of it in the Akira Club art book, but I'm not aware of it existing as a poster.
