ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Thanks for posting, man. I appreciate you. I enjoy the books intermittently, and I still enjoy all the nostalgia with collecting. I also now focus on other things. Platinum and golden age is my thing right now. I can get some of the first comics ever printed for les...

I’m not sure about now, but CGC didn’t allow different tiers or pressing requests in the same invoice. Their site now lacks info it used to have on these things. They can do well with pencils marks, but those get really difficult on dark covers like this. I would forgo grading this one as you are no...

I have submitted thousands and thousands of books. I’m still learning and missing things. To submit older books, experience is significantly helpful. I had one post here where I submitted 3-4 submissions of older books, and CGC forgot to press them. They offered to press and regrade for free. I jump...

I'll be shipping this coming Saturday. Thanks all for your patience.

I'm finally starting to weed my collection down. This has been a long delayed exercise for many reasons. In almost all cases, the items are unique, rare or scarce. I'd like these to go to a good home to a fellow Valiant collector. No prices are listed, but just ask. I will price everything reasonab...

Packages sent. Items in the folders above are updated.

Thanks for you orders!

37 pages on hold or sold for various people. I've updated the Valiant Art folder to remove these items.

Thanks all for the interest!

Added a big load of X-O, Turok and Timewalker pages. Note the funny names they called Timewalker (e.g. Timestroller, Timecrawler, and my favorite - Timewanker). I've included photos of the backs of some of those pages. The price is listed on those photos, but it's just the one price for the piece (n...

That is what we will call this new Valiant era.

I don't yet have a copy, but damn that's a fun one!

XO and Rai would be my first picks.

Or a Quantum and Woody, with just the Goat's face in the corner box...

I would love that. Awesome idea.

Danielle posted on FB today that they changed BS to a 4 issue monthly from a 2 issue prestige due to artist bandwidth and commitments.

Oh, by "The Dark Book", you mean the Beginning of the Valiant Era Special Edition . . . there's actually a Wizards: The Dark Book which talks about villains. What about the Hero Illustrated magazines? I see some Hero magazines with newsstand variants. It’s the Dark Book with Carnage on th...

Thanks for sharing, Dan.

I think that nerds of a certain age (being me) like the term floppy as that is what we called disks back in the day. I think it is an imaginative term. It takes several mental steps to figure out what someone is talking about. Comic books aren’t actually books either. The term was given to hardbound...

Same here. I've yet to get one. I'm assuming since they are prestige format there is only 1 cover for each issue instead of endless covers like before?

That's my understanding.

I haven’t even picked up my first Alien books yet!

I completely forgot about the Wizard 17 silver variant. I would think that would be direct only. I can't see any online copies that show a UPC.

I also forgot about Wizard 7 (great cover). eBay does not show any newsstand variants of that issue either.

Maybe it's just 17 and the Dark Book.

I just found that Wizard had both direct and newsstand variants. It wasn't something I ever thought to consider. Wizard 17 has a cover with Bloodshot and Solar on it (along with others in a gatefold). This issue came in a direct polybagged edition with Holly Daye and Santa the Barbarian trading card...

Hi all. A good month since my last update. I just updated the art to add several Shadowman pages.

SALE - January 13-17 - Take $10 off each pencilled page. There are 11 pages for $35 each.

Thanks all for giving this art a good home. I'll dig for more in a few weeks.

I love both of these. Never thought about candy wrappers. Really fun.

That is a splashy splash!

Organization organization organization!

I received mine in great order. All items were included. The holo stickers are pretty awesome. I got a sketch as well of Bloodshot. I’m happy. But, I see I placed my order in October 2021, and just received it in December 2023. That’s a long time.
