Limited to 2000 copies is such a bad decision. If you're creating a promo book to hype your launches don't limit it...feels like business 101.


At 2000 and free, I’m guessing they will have leftovers based on last years’s exclusive.


Ah, so the limited edition thing is just marketing and ...

He was very generous with his time and signatures for fans. I found him delightfully gruff at the same time with smiles.

nycjadie,
I’ve got to ask…. How many Shooter signed comics do you have?

I have no idea. Likely over 100. I probably have over 20 CGC signed books as well.

Nice to hear all the stories and fans coming back to the site to share.

New York Times!

Just boarding a plane. He will be missed. Saw him last year and thought he did not look well. It’s the end of an era. He will be missed,

Valiant Fandom is a great source for that, although there are mistakes here and there.

I’ve seen $20-45 as reasonable for color pages without a hero.

They can go for over $100 for a splash.

$300+ for a cover.

I’ve never see the chrome set.

I have some here. Will be sending them to Heritage soon.

This is awesome! Great idea! Some of my favorite pieces have numerous characters on them. They are also hard to find if you don't make them yourself!

You'd think with the owners of Valiant being Chinese (or people who do a lot of business in China) that they'd have easy access to some of the great toy and merchandise manufacturers there. :?


Yeah, but right now it's presently moot due to Drumpf's tariffs on China disrupting shipments ...

Really liked this one. I met Chen once at ECCC. Super nice guy, super smart and very humble in talking about his experience.

I have the full interior pages to Rai 11 (not the cover), and always thought it would be cool to see a "IDW Artist's Edition" rendition of this issue. Love Chen's work.

I see Jason found it a few minutes later. I was just so excited to share!

Watching this now. The piece of art discussed at 27:00 is a promotional piece that was used in advertising, and it was used on a poster. I never knew it was based on a BWS layout. I have the original inked art to this one, bought probably around 13-14 years ago. It's framed and I just shipped it to ...

Going to have to check this one out.

Or the rewind is good too.


So massive it took a while to listen. Done that now and really liked it. Good job.


Some of the amounts of money that the Valiant guys got was a bit surprising to me as well


I think I've read somewhere that part of the money was stock options that became ...

So one more item to try and find at a reasonable price. Good eye Stephen!

Hah! Yes, probably.

Agreed. I very much enjoyed the interview and hearing about Bob's time at Valiant. He seems to really enjoy life. Living a life in a Korean apartment for next to nothing (I couldn't quite catch his rent price), walking around town and buying his food for the day, etc. I liked that life as well ...

So hope this releases. Unity would be awesome.

Oh boy. Anime covers.

Anime/manga is cool, and seeing as Alien works with manga artists frequently, it makes sense to give Valiant a little manga flare. At the very least, they're trying something different, which oughtta be lauded.


Good points. I just don't like the art style.

Luckily I ...

Is this the most expensive store variant? This is bananas to me. What am I missing? Poor Veregge passed away last year (my age). I’m not seeing why two people would bid this one up.
