I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but if it were a pre-Unity for $1250, I would be posting the jpeg link and not the price. :wink:

:) (and your statement in itself says a lot about today's market)

(Having said that, it's a beautiful BEAUTIFUL piece.)

Curious...

I think you're ...

I'm trying to decide weather or not to pick them up (one, both, or neither), so when I make that decision, I'll share the specifics on anything I leave behind.

While you're thinking, do you mind saying if we're talking pre-unity (in which case it seems like fair prices) or not?

I had this ...

I read this today and was very impressed. What happened to the ring at the end?

From Rai 15: Said by an Aryantine in SouthAm. "You won this ring, Robot Fighter, and then cast it away! Fortunately for my people , it eventually fell into the hands of someone wo knew what it represented . This ...

I just might buy a home-made comic like this. It is so right on target.

He redesigned Magnus. Damion Hendricks is the artist.

needs to make sure the deal is right so the rug can't get pulled out from under him.

I hope that's all there is. If there is anything beyond normal paperwork that could be problems it should be the trademark issue as reported on Newsorama. I'm not sure on US trademark laws. VIP has applications ...

Cool!

So where are the rights to the actual valiant output? I'm thinking in terms of reprints and trades - who owns the artwork? This is as important to me as any new prospective relaunch.

That is very good question. It's been guessed that any usage of Magnus, Turok and Solar, including reprints must ...

Yes, that is really what it comes down to.

I've been watching this for a week.

Wow. Great deal. Can't believe I missed it. I would have paid more for the TPB alone. It shows that it stills ...

Good pun. Even with everyone agreeing on how bad it is, I still find it surprising that they actually make it a part of the DVD to tell everyone how much it stinks.

Sounds fun, but no, I've never seen or looked for it. Just picked up the DVD because it was $3 and seemed like fun for the kids.

I supported Valiant by getting its logo on my left ankle. I showed that to Layton & Gonzolez at the '94 Chicago Comicon and it netted me about 10 golds.

Picture please!

/Magnus

PS, hope Joey finds his picture soon, sounds cool!

Just watched Supergirl. On the DVD they also have some texts about the actors. I don't know where they got the texts, but someone should have thought twice. Here's part of the text about the main actrice: "Alas, Supergirl was a failure, not so much due to Slater's spunky but antiseptic performance ...

He's just been very busy.

Something a bit different. I remember in an interview I read that the early comics often were so late that they had not been well checked before going to the printer, and the plates had to be corrected. This of course adds to the already difficult task of identifying the early art. While not ...

Dan, I know you have a Magnus cover that was clipped severly before printing.

Most likely he'd be sneaky and do something similar to what he did against that robot who's skin he couldn't break, I forget his name but it was the one that was also in the Gold Key books that he fought right after Unity.

Talpa. Good point. Magnus always used his intelligence more than his ...

There was something else in Layton's letters page that caught my attention.

This is what he said in regards to the Magnus and Solar lithos:

Just last week, I finally signed the approved contracts with Dynamic Forces to produce the two limited lithograph prints of Magnus: Robot Fighter and Solar ...

The explanation I remember goes like this:

Nettie and her coven were going to give Jack his magical powers, but Darque sent the Spider-Alien Lydia to poison him so that the powers wouldn't take hold.

In the end the energy was injected into the mask of shadows, but in time Jack became able to ...
