Seriously, Fred Perry would be cool, as long as he doesn't ink it. The inking on Gold Diggers and NHS has always been horrible. This is obvious in the Black and White books from him and Ben Dunn. It's not as noticeable in the color books, though. Now, I know they are not trying to ink their comics in the American style, but if you look at Japanese Manga which uses a different method of inking than the U.S., the inking is done WAY better than these guys who use hardly any blacks and everything is inked with the same thin line! Still love both comics for the art and story, but I wish they'd get some decent inkers.
Having read books on this and seen some artists working, I'm pretty sure that the Japanese usually don't pencil anything. It just goes straight to ink. That's why their inks are way better, because they're not tracing or erasing anything. Of course if you told an American comic book artist to just go straight to ink he probably wouldn't like that.

I must be reading all those articles in Newtype wrong. Cause all the artists there, and they are some of the most famous ones around, usually begin with pencils. There are only a handful of people who can just put pen to paper with no forethought or planning and BAM make art!
You ask ANY artist; American, European, Mexican, British, Chinese, or even Japanese, I think the bulk will pass. Any artist that can go straight to ink is probably using a lightbox to transfer his previously pencilled and sketched out page to a new page where he 'draws' it again with ink.
Also always bear in mind, that most Japanese artists have teams. Pencillers rarely, Inkers may have someone doing spot work.
As for the arguement of Fred Perry doing a SF book. I'd have to pass. I like Gold Digger as a complete package, but disagree with the strength of his artwork. Seems to sketchy for me, it was tighter in Legacy, but didn't care much for that story.
I still stick to my belief that they should pass on a SF comic, it will disappoint as many people as it will please. People are always going to have a bone to pick. The SF franchise has been around too long, loved by too many, and interpreted their own ways. If any Capcom franchises should be done, it should be something that fans may give you room to create with. Something along the lines of Darkstalkers, Project Justice, or Devil May Cry. Yes the SF name MAY help sell books at first, but the bad feelings it may generate if it sucks, may not be worth it.

"I've been handed some sample art purporting to be from Dreamwave. This site has reported how Dreamwave seem to be moving into video game licences for their comics line, including comics based on popular Capcom games.
Enjoy some more art from Mr M Brooks... "

Latest update from Comic Book Resources...
"<i>STREET FIGHTER AT UDON, PICTURES
Remember that piece last week purporting to be a Dreamwave Capcom comic illustration? Close, but no cigar.
Artist Matt Broome wrote on the Dreamwave message boards, "'Lying in the Gutters' reported incorrectly. I did that piece simply for fun last week and it's not tied to Dreamwave or Capcom in any way. I posted it on the Optical Res boards last week and, apparently, some one sent it to the columnist saying it was an official piece. If it were an official piece, I would have taken more time on it to make sure the characters were more accurate. I can only assume, since I freelance with Dreamwave, people assumed I must have done it for them."
The picture featured a number of Street Fighter characters, which I heard Udon won the rights to. Erik Ko confirmed that story and offered up ample art from this upcoming project.</i>"
