Top: A few months after that hot autumn day in Dallas......
Kid: Wee! Hiking! This is so much fun!
Mom: You don't want to fall, now! Be careful!
Kid: Wee!
!!
Mom: Kyaaa!!
Kid: Ah, it's Billy Bat!!
Billy: Are you all right?

Page 2:
Billy: Oh no, the President's in trouble!!
Mom: Eh?
Kyaa!!
Who did it?
Billy: Probably...........
Someone on the other side of that fence!

Page 3:
Somebody: May I come in?
Tony: It's great to see you!!
Diane, it's the hero!!
A hero's here at our house!!

Page 4:
Kevin: Well...... I don't know about hero......

Title: Chapter 62 Kevin and Kevin

Page 5:
Tony: Would you like a drink..........?
......But well, the welcoming drink of choice in our house is......
this, of course.
Kevin: That's neat. A vending machine inside the house......
SFX: GAKO!
Both: Cheers!
SFX: CLINK

Page 6:
Tony: No, really, thanks for coming.
I thought you'd come right after it happened.
Though since then, all the ruckus in my company's finally calmed down, by the way.......
Kevin: I didn't realize......
Diane: Kevin!! Kevin, come downstairs, please!
The man who saved your life, Mr. Kevin, is here!!
Tony: This is how he's been lately. Maybe he's growing up? He plays alone in his room a lot.

Page 7:
Diane: Hey!! Don't un on the stairs, Kevin!!
Tony: ......Once in a while he comes downstairs to......
SFX: TATATAH
Tony: Kevin, why don't you say hello?
Little Kevin: Hello.
Kevin: Ooh. You've really grown since I last saw you.

Page 8:
Tony: Once in a while he comes downstairs to get one of those "Billy Bat" comics you drew.
SFX: TATATAH
Diane: Kevin!!
Tony: And then he disappears back to his room upstairs.
He's a big fan of your comics. Gets it from me.
Take a look, I have every one of your books in my study.
"The Memories of a Texan Detective - Pistol Hair Into the Wild!" One of your early masterpieces.
And if it's the heart-pounding adrenaline of "Billy Bat Goes to the Jungle" you want, I've got that right here......

Page 9:
Tony: And the always amazing "Billy Bat and the Pharaoh's Curse" with Dancer Girl Leonette...............
Ah, just thinking about it makes me tear up......
Haha...... Hold on a sec...... Sorry......
Diane: He's always like that.
Start talking about "Billy Bat" and he gets so overcome with emotion that he can't talk.
There's not a single person who read that scene between Dancer Girl Leonette and Billy Bat and didn't cry.
Kevin: Thank you.
Diane: And one thing I've gotta ask,
with today's Billy......

Page 10:
Tony: Yeah, that thing they're calling Billy today isn't BIlly!!
Fooling children like that.... No, not even a child could fall for that!!
Kevin: But the current Billy is popular all over the world.
Tony: But the incredible original is Kevin Yamagata's "Billy Bat"!!
That's why I named my son after you!!
Kevin: Right......
And I just can't believe it!!
That very son's life was saved by the real Kevin Yamagata......

Page 11:
Tony: Kevin saved Kevin......
Can something like this really be true?

Page 12:
Tony: It's as if......
It's some sort of drama setup by somebody.
Kevin: ..........
SFX: KACHA KACHA
KACHA KACHA

Page 13:
Kevin: This is delicious!!
Tony: My wife's roast chicken's top notch!
Diane: Hm? Only roast chicken?
Tony: No, no, all of your cooking is the best in all of U.S.
Diane: All of the U.S......?
Tony: Yes, and the top of America is the top of the world.
It certainly..........
Was the top......
President Kennedy......
I shook his hand just a few hours before the incident.
Kevin: Is that so......?
Tony: It's been 10 months since then...... And still, none of it's sunk in.

Page 14:
Tony: Did you hear Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren's speech as representative of the investigation commission?
"Inside the country or out, there was no conspiracy."
So in the end, it looks like Oswald acted alone......
I can't believe that Oswald would do something like that......

Page 15:
[He's dead. But at least WE know the truth. The real assassin is a cartoon bat!]

Page 16:
Tony: It certainly is odd.
Kevin: Huh?
Tony: If it were Billy, how would he solve that case?
Kevin: W...... Well, uh......
Diane: Come now...... Don't bring up things like that at the dinner table!
Besides, don't you have a present to give?
Tony: Oh, that's right.
Kevin: Present?

Page 17:
Tony: TADAAAA[Music note]
You know about this, right?
My company's campaign?
The trip to Japan you can win with 10 bottle caps!!
I wanted to give something back to you!!
Kevin: To me......?
Tony: Yeah, so I mulled over what I could do to properly show my gratitude.
......And, you're a Japanese American. I thought maybe you'd like to visit your homeland of Japan.
And the Olympics are being held in Tokyo this year, so it'll be even more exciting!

Page 18:
Kevin: Japan......
Diane: Of course, this little gesture isn't enough to completely convey to you how truly thankful we are. But it's something.
Whoever: SHIZU-CHAAAAN!!
Tony: Is something wrong......?
Kevin: Ah.....
No......

Page 19:
Little Kevin: Thank you for the meal. Can I go up to my room?
SFX: GATAH
Diane: Ah...... Kevin!
Sorry......
Kevin: No......
Diane: Recently, that boy's been engrossed in drawings.
He's even said he wants to be a cartoonist.
Kevin: Cartoonist......
Tony: I know, do you think you could take a look from a pro's perspective?
Diane: Dear!!
SFX: KNOCK KNOCK

Page 20:
Kevin: Kevin.
I'm coming in.
What kind of picture are you drawing?
Could you let me see?

Page 21:
Kevin: Ooh, nice.
You're pretty good.
..........
This is......

Page 22:
Kevin: What're you drawing?!!

Page 23:
Kevin: Have your Mama and Papa seen this drawing?
You shouldn't draw things like this!!
What on earth are you drawing now?
This is......
Little Kevin: Um... That one's...
A ninja and a scroll.

Page 24:
Kevin: ..........
Little Kevin: Billy,
he told me this.
Kevin: Eh......?
Little Kevin: "If you're not gonna go to Japan, make this kid go."
Side: Billy Bat's message through the mouth of the young boy Kevin. Will Kevin return to his old home where he has such horrible memories......!?
