Why would anyone else have to sing it? Use the original George Michael recording.

That is so cool! I love Hall's work. I wish I could land a commission from him - but it wouldn't be Shadowman. I love to take artists I love and put them out of their element. James O'Barr did and Iron Man commission for me once instead of The Crow - it was incredible. You'd imagine that I would as...

What did Bob charge for the cover commission? JCP, Basically he undercharged me at a price of $160.00. Let me explain: When I asked for the sketch he asked “What kind of sketch would you like?” I told him “Shadowman with his scythe.” He then said a torso with face is $160.00 and a full body is $200...

One thing I forgot to mention when I met Bob Hall for the above sketch….. I HOPE DMG VALIANT IS READING THIS !!! : Bob Hall said he enjoyed writing and drawing this short story for FCBD as an ad to help promote this upcoming new Shadowman video game. Everything he did in this short story was under t...

Then he added a little more detail and signed.

Then he sat it aside “to totally dry” before erasing extra pencil marks from the initial rough pencil sketch.

He would set aside and let some of these areas dry before doing it ...

Then he draws over the pencil with ink.

I have a series of a few pics as to how Bob Hall drew this commission that I will post:

Thanks magnusr and al583 and Sunlight on Snow and nycjadie, While starting to draw the above Shadowman cover sketch for me, Bob Hall asked me if I would like the older VEI style Shadowman with the “tight body suit”…..or, the latest Shadowman with the “jacket.” I told him that I would be fine with wh...

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230507/a2126d4a2e7a245777f68face82adf86.jpg I made it to the signing. Last year I finally found a 2012 Harbinger Wars/ Shadowman Blank Flip Book. It took me years to finally get one. I brought it with me and was hesitant to get a commission done on it (since this ...

Wow… what an impressive sample of your comic collection Mr. Dinesh. I enjoyed watching the video. Before this new thread….This has to be the longest inactivity on the message board in years (4 or 5 days without a single new post). Someone needs to get this company back into his hands to fill in that...

How rare is this book ? I looked through DBS list but I think I must have skipped over it I still take that the kotaki error x-o is still rare as well? I don’t ever see either of these for sale. But, I remember a discussion on this board a few years back about the Kotaki #15 X-O comic. The result o...

Store and/or Convention Exclusives: 100 copies or LESS 3-10 known copies - Ninjak #0 (NYCC Unreleased Edition) NOTE #1 : Supposedly all copies of Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe #0 (NYCC Unreleased Edition) were destroyed. This clearly did NOT happen, as a FEW copies still exist and/or have been rar...

Great …. If that didn’t work out I was gonna start looking through parts of my collection…. I know I have an extra #18 variant somewhere.

Now, the search continues for me for that Unity #5 1:100 , Unity #6 1:50.

It sold. Did you get it?

The original art cover to X-O Manowar # 4 (the Pre-Unity, BWS one) is up for sale in this month's Comiclink auction. And the description basically refers to Valiant Comics in the past tense, noting: "Valiant returned in 2012 for a second successful run that continued for a decade." https:...

Does anyone have an estimate on the print run of 2013 Shadowman #5 Grandpa 1:125 line Variant (first new Dr. Mirage AKA Shan Fong)? I can’t remember if a print run estimate was ever determined on this comic. Nothing confirmed; however, it was released approx. 1-2 months after the Harbinger #8 1:125...

I got 2 of those 5 books back from CGC that were signature signed by Shooter. The Solar #10 came back a lowly CGC 9.4 ,but the Captain N the Game Master #1 came back CGC 9.8. The remaining 3 comics are taking longer because they are getting pressed.

I enjoyed watching. Thanks TheFerg714.
These characters really had cinematic potential.
