Re: A New Goodie in the mail today

Love the art in that run (is it #2?). A lot of those early Valiant artists are still working today. Can't say that about a lot of old comics, or comics today. These folks were titans in the industry at the time. Of course, some of those titans did so well that they didn't have to make comics any lon...

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

This issue isn't a new one. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023/02/05/sesame-street-ban-mississippi/ In April 1970, members of Mississippi’s newly formed State Commission for Educational Television met to discuss Big Bird and Cookie Monster. “Sesame Street” had debuted on public TV the previ...

Re: Serious question...what did Heather Antos actually *do*?

I know she was editing books for Valiant that were never released. I saw her on a panel and she mixed up Valiant characters. She seemed more interested in flipping her hair and looking cute than showing knowledge and excitement for the stories. That’s not to say I don’t think she was not a good edit...

Re: Speculation: Bad Idea is doing Solar Man of the Atom

I love the books, but my shop stopped carrying them. I could drive two hours to get them, but I don’t have that time. The variants are perplexing. I can’t figure them all out. I do love the stories, but k think I’ll be ordering them on eBay as they are too difficult to chase. I’m cool with that.

Re: A&A 1 % gold tint eBay strong sell (imo)

I mean, I think I have only the one copy and I believe Eisma and Fawkes signed it. It’s raw. I still like it, but the OCD in me wants a full unsigned set of books, and if I can get an extra signed, then that’s great. SS books are a novelty to me. I don’t dislike them, but I will get them when they a...

Re: WTB: Sell me your Shadowman 16 Glow in the dark

I saw a 9.6, if I recall, on eBay eons ago. I hesitated for an hour, and then when I decided to pull the trigger, it was gone.

I rarely see this book.

Nycjadie's Sale List - Updated April 7

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 reasonabl...

How so?
If they didn't like you, you didn't get in the magazine. A bad review could kill a book. There were only a few people who were gatekeepers to the publication.

Re: Wizard & Hero Illustrated

Wizard was a king maker back on the day, consolidated into one coveted publication. It’s a different world now with social media and “news sites.” There isn’t an equivalent of Wizard today, in my view. There are certainly lists that impact the sale of back issues and spur buying of new books, but no...

I was pretty surprised by this auction. 3 pencil sketches for a Valiant Nintendo book sold for $9K with commission. One is a nice splash page, but still, higher than I thought it would go for. https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/other/dick-rockwell-group-lot-of-3-the-legend-of-zelda-3-comic-book-s...
