Bob Layton pizza party at Valiant HQ

Post by grendeljd »

Thought I'd share something positive here - Bob Layton posted on facebook about his recent trip to visit the fine peeps at Valiant HQ recently. I'll share his post & pics in second...

Thank you for sharing.

I hope that over time, Dino comes back in a fashion similar to Bob Layton.

It is also good to see that Bob Layton is informing DMG/Valiant about the history of the brand. As long as they learn from history, they are not doomed to repeat it.
This is what happens when you try to work...

Great pics grendeljd !! I too wish only the best for the future of Valiant (I also wish the best for Layton and Dino...as they will both always be a huge part of Valiants past and hopefully it's future).

+2 I was really glad he mentioned Dino too. He clearly has a lot of respect for him & his part in bringing the publisher back. :clap:

Love Bob. The two conventions I was at in Chicago in 93 and 94, he was just the consummate gentleman.

Ah, the Mr. Penis cut.

:lol: Exactly the comparison I make in my mind whenever I see images of Bob Layton from that era.

Thanks for sharing. :thumb:

I reached out to Bob Layton fresh out of college trying to get an internship with his newly founded, Future Comics. He was very kind but ultimately said no. So did CrossGen. It must have been me.

Dang, man! What part of the business were you interested in trying to intern for?
