Another not so new Valiant Fan

Post by Sheikhaljabal »

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, greetings to all. After some years of lurking, I have decided to register here, in order to drop my two cents every now and then.
A comic reader since the mid 70's, I read Valiant's first incarnation in the 90's, having being drawn to it by Solar (which I vaguely knew from his GK times) and Barry Windsor-Smith's Archer and Armstrong. I missed Acclaim's years altogether, but have been reading VEI's titles from the beginning and the only stuff that has eluded me since has been LOTG. Formerly a DC fan (I started to read English with Grell's Legion of Super-Heroes, my oldest comic book love affair), I am one of the many old readers definitely fed up with the big two. I Love the current line and most of the company's output, particularly Van Lente and Venditti's titles. My favorite characters are the Anni-Padda Bros., Quantum and Woody and Dr Mirage. (Last bit of trivia, I also hail from Shadowtuga's neck of woods :wink: )
Have a nice Sunday, everybody.

Welcome to the forums! I find I am always learning something cool here.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

Thank you, all (and to my fellow national too), you're very kind. On the LOTG affair, I've been following the issue summaries that some posters ar kind enough to provide, but I do hope the company makes them available further down the road. It IS rather downputting for folks like me - a Van Lente fan, or ST, that live on the other side of the pond with scarce comic book shops and virtually just half a dozen Valiant fans available to order their comics...
Greetings to all.

Welcome. I think I'll nudge this thread over to the 'My Valiant Story' section.

Further thanks to the authors of the last posts, especially to Mr Jackson. I seem to have missed this section of the boards ) Hi, Chiclo, nice to meet you; I hail from Lisbon, but I also spend frequent spells at Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, some 16 miles to the south of the city.
