Great score, Q!

Thanks, Dan!
I think this book would be an intresting read, if it ever sees the light of day. It might even spur others to write their own. What did you hear about the book, Knightt? Maybe you can bring it up the next time you talk with Perlin. He might have some insider info on it.

Jim Shooter was supposed to be writing a book on the comic industry titled "Super Vllians". Does anyone have any updates on this info? Thanks in advance!:)

Does anyone else own a copy of "Inside Comics" #2, from Spring 1992? It has a poster in it of the cover of Unity #1, but it says below it-"VALIANT -- Quality IS Absolute". It's the only time I've seen them use that twist on the wording. Did it appear elsewhere? Don't recall seein...

Thanks, Dan. I wonder who the lucky dog was...it would be a sweet piece to own!:)

While I 100% agree with CJV's point of view, I believe the whole problem could have been fixed with a smiley face!

Heres a high quality scan of that: http://www.qrnd.com/temp/jq1.jpg And it even has a guy going through a window! /Magnus Good catch Magnus! And thanks, Uruchuu, for the great scan! (I have no scanner). I persoally like the King Kong pic, I am a big fan of the 1933 original & stop motion animat...

I am a Valiant fan just like all of you. I like to have fun on these boards just like everyone else. You will get no arguments from me about anything. I have found from my experiences that arguing is a negative pursuit which usually resolves absolutely nothing. I sincerely apologize if you didn't fi...

Great posts, Zeph! You're right on the money in my book. Now can you do a post explaining what a File Copy is to Knightt? I don't think he understands...

PS---Congrats on making it to over 2000 posts without getting kicked off.

Is this a new low for this issue or what?

http://pic2.picturetrail.com/VOL36/447660/4756626/74260762.jpg As a promo for X-O #1, Bob signed 600 X-O inserts that were randomly placed in copies of Previews #33. Do any board members own one? I'd like to find one. This pic of Bob being thanked by Vice Prez of Diamond is from Wizard #4 (Dec 1991).

http://pic2.picturetrail.com/VOL36/447660/4756626/74261350.jpg Yes!, before Valiant-Vision, there was SpectraPower Process coloring! At least that's what Valiant called their 'brilliant coloring process' in this ad for Shadowman #1, which appeared in Wizard #7 (the one with the X-O cover----or Flas...

This has got to be one of the best UNITY Ads I've seen. Does anyone know who owns the original or colors to this? Pic is from Wizard #11.


(Hey Knightt, ask Don if he still has it...)

I don't recall seeing this unpublished Harbinger #1 cover on this website, so I thought I'd share. It was published in a Valiant article from Wizard #4 (Dec. 1991). Not sure who the artists were.

Welcome! What issues of X-O do you need? I may be able to help. Plus I have experience with overseas shipping.

I sure dont want to argue with you Knightt, but you might want to look up the definition of "File Copy" in your Overstreet Grading Guide Glossary. You'll see that Bob's copies fit the description. And whereas Bob may have been there when JJ got canned, it wasn't he who did it. It was the d...

True, Joe started out as a colorist, but his 1st published artwork was the pin-up above from Captain N #3, which came out in 1990. The pic is a "Must-Have" from the Quesada Checklist published in Wizard a couple of years ago.

Here is a pic of the hoax poster!:)

I find it amusing that no matter how big Joe Q. gets, he always has Jim Shooter & Valiant to thank for his start. Hard to believe that someone as talented as Joe did his 1st published artwork in "Captain N"!!

So I picked up my copy of Shadowman 43 and I was excited to see how the last issue would pan out. I was somewhat dissapointed in the way they left it. We all know he dies in 1999 but we also see him jumping off the building. So whats the deal? Is it just left to our imaginations or what? Bob Hall s...

Technically the Mag #0 VcVVSS was more than just another signed book. The limited series was from created from a stash of what would be considered 'file copies' from the EIC of Valiant. Arch's Solar #1 is a great follow-up, but not the same.

I remember when Wizard ran a full page hoax ad for the 1st Spider-Man Movie in issue #81. They had Leonardo DeCaprio playing Spidey. Thank God it was a hoax!!!

Sorry, Dino!

I was going by the info in your 1st post on this topic:
