Does anybody know what Jim Shooter is doing these days? Any chance of him trying a new (or old) comic company again? I would love to see him return. His stuff was the best IMHO :thumb:

Jim was interviewed on ComicZone radio by Vincent Zurzolo of Metropolis Collectibles a couple of years ago. Jim ...

Myron, why yes I do, identical, as if you can't tell :D .

They are four yrs. and all I could have possiblly wanted.

What a blessing :thumb:

Myron, we'll have to swap twin stories, I'm sure you got plenty of them.

Hey Christian, just noticed the picture of your girls that you added ...

Nice memory Bono :thumb:

Now of course the sad thing is that I didn't get serious until YOUR senior year....

and I am one year older than you...

and we both started college right our of high school.


Oh well, I wouldn't change a thing about my life now. (well maybe just a few things :D ...

You'd probably do pretty well. A lot of kids who are in college these days do not take it seriously. Older students who go back to college after several years of life experience usually wind up greatly outperforming younger ones who go straight out of high school.

Bono you know about this firat ...

I'd go back to college... but I couldn't compete with these kids nowadays. School is QUITE different than it was 20 years ago!

Not this year. My wife's birthday is that Saturday. We're going next year though.

I remember THAT day fairly good, some of the "other" days seem to be lost in a fog, or something.

All I can say is the Bono is the old school VALIANT pimp!

He all the books, from the begining.

Bono we gotta hook up, maybe get the old crew together, I can get a hold of McBride and Damian, but ...

FFB! What's up? I didn't know you had joined up over here, then I see you have been since 2004!!!

Hey Slym,

Yeah, I've been a member here for a long time but hadn't checked the forum for a while. Then I found out my old college buddy Christian (Elveen) became a member here ...

What's up, Christian? I still remember introducing you guys to Valiants for the first time, right around the time that Unity #0 came out. Between Valiants and D&D Sundays, it was a great time. :clap: I remember that time that Gary McBride's friend Paul (who worked for Valiant) showed up at the local ...

Not that this would ever happen, but I would like to see a re-launch with Jim Shooter doing a semi-reboot. I would not throw all continuity out the window, but would rather have Shooter treat past Gold Key/Valiant history the same way he treated the Gold Key history the first time he started the ...

Holy crap it broke $200!

To be honest with you Dino, I'm shocked that the first one sold for only $182.50. With a run limited to only 40 copies, and the books being Bob Layton File Copies no less, this book should be selling for a lot more than that IMO. But like I said, the book will sell for ...

Heh, yeah, I probably got another one or two hits from both of the Janet Jackson (Michael's sister) fans left in the universe. :P :lol:

Hey! That's keyword spamming! :littlesmile: I bet the hit count is up there from all the JJ groupies wondering what could be in the comics category.

Has anyone ...

Dino you beat me twice already,, on the Harbinger lot a day or 2 ago,, and just now on the Secret Weapons VVSS.. And both for the same reason,, I refresh,, I get call, I pick up phone,, I lose auction.. Good job man! :thumb:

Why don't you get some sniping software for ebay so that you can ...

To be fair, I had one reserved and backed out after June 1. I believe it was #39.

:( Bummer. It's a sweet book. You guys spend a lot more time here than I do and deserved first crack at the books. I hope you backed out because you didn't want the book, and not because you weren't able to buy it ...

I bought it from Dino. I was on the waiting list and then someone backed out and a copy opened up for me.

dino wrote:Whats the reserve?

By the way, Dino -- any word on the Solar #1 VcVSS? I'd be more interested in that one than the Magnus #0. I like Bob Layton just fine, but Jim Shooter and BWS are and always have been the "magic" in Valiant for me.

dino wrote:Whats the reserve?

I think I set it at $150 -- less than the last one sold for. Just wanted to make sure the book didn't sell for a pittance. Looks like it's got a lot of early action thanks to you and a couple of the other guys.

I also have some 30 cent variants for sale. [/url]

Thanks Whetton. Part III of the Shooter interview was this past Monday. Great interview, and an entire hour this time! The link to the radio show is above in this thread.

I collected RUNE, still have them. I loved the BWS covers and art. :thumb:

Seeing books like Rune, listening to interviews with Jim Shooter, and browsing Bob Layton's webpage make me sad. Here we had three people who were all highly talented in their own ways, yet had fallen out of the "comic ...

Hi Guys:

Don't know if you saw or heard about this, but Vincent Zurzolo of Metropolis Collectibles had Jim Shooter on the Comic Zone radio show last Monday (as a last-minute replacement for Gene Colan). It is an excellent interview focusing on Jim's pre-Valiant career at DC and Marvel. Part II of ...

Out of curiosity, the two of you who want to have Jim Shooter's baby -- does that mean that you'd listen live and call in, or does it mean that you seriously want to have his baby?

They are phone interviews, so no one would be anywhere at the same time. The interviewees wouldn't even interact unless they wanted to.

Just going by hearsay and interviews, so I'm not sure how accurate they may be, but I doubt Jim would do an interview with Barry and Bob there. Jim and Janet ...

Thanks Kevin. I appreciate it.

P.S. I'm a big fan of yours. Maybe we could get YOU on the same show as JS and BWS if they both agree to be interviewed on the same show?
