Udon Entertainment are making the most of San Diego Comic-Con this year with with a second artbook announcement, this time for the iconic mecha franchise Gundam.

Expected to release November 2025, Hidetaka Tenjin's Artistry of Gundam is a 144-page hardcover book that collects illustrations from artist Hidetaka Tenjin for the long-running franchise. It will collect his artwork created for magazines, video games, blu-ray covers, box art, and more.

A standard retail edition will be available to pre-order from retailers soon, but there is also an oversized 'Udon Custom' edition available to order now. This version also comes as a hardcover, but is larger at 10" x 13.6" in size. This version can be found on the Udon Entertainments website here.

Gundam is a popular sci-fi franchise from Japan that began as a mecha anime series in 1979, titled Mobile Suit Gundam. Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise, it was ground-breaking in the genre due to its concept of "real robots" - military machines involved in politics. There have been a lot of releases in the Gundam universe, across many timelines, but they mostly focus large-scale wars centred on the use of the Mobile Suits.

There are a large number of anime series, movies, Gunpla model kits, manga, video games, and novels for Gundam, all of which helped it become an iconic franchise popular all over the world, not just in Japan. This book will no doubt have a large audience due to it's huge fanbase and will be most welcome on the shelves of collectors.

Hidetaka Tenjin is a renowned Japanese mechanical illustrator and designer who has worked mecha franchises like Macross, as well as Gundam. He combines technical precision with storytelling, creating machine art for anime, model kit box covers, and more. He has also worked as a voice actor on animated shows and has already had a number of artbooks published based on his work.

Future updates for the book will be reported here and be sure to check out the Udon Store to find more artbooks, including the recently announced book Marvel Vs. Capcom: Ultimate Complete Works.
