This torrent lets you download all six chapters of the manga Akira in color. There's also some American-made tributes included at the end of the sixth chapter.
The chapters and the tributes were copied from a limited edition of Akira that was released around the 80s. I don't have the limited edition nor made the copies, so I don't know much else about it.
It's not, it was published by Epic Comics as 38 issues from the years 1988 to 1995. You could clearly see that by looking at the pages after each issue title in this copy.
Also, in the 3rd issue, it talked about Otomo helping make the Akira film in the present tense and mentioned that the manga was not yet completed, so the copy was definitely made around the late 80s.
