A+A Bootleg

Post by chriskay99 »

Any idea what the deal with these are? Seen a few mentions of them on the Valiant twitter feed, but nothing on here. If you're to believe Twitter, Rafer Roberts made these on his own and sent them out to comic book shops.

Hilarious! For a photocopied bootleg! I love zines.

I'd love to have one for my collection, but not for $50.

you may not have to worry about that, details soon. I don't foresee the $50 value sticking around longer than a week or two to be honest.

Wouldn't an ashcan be a b&w of the actual upcoming issue? This looks like newish material.

Kind of a neat bit of outside-the-box publicity for Valiant!

Guys when you get a chance I would definitely say pick this up! I had a lot of cute jokes as I mentioned in another thread non-Facebook. The art doesn't necessarily do it for me but the story was so good I didn't mind so much.

Ultimate Comics shouldn't have done that, that is kinda greedy.
Also don't ever return a comic to them (even if it looks like a 2 month old comic on one of those wired racks at the drug store) or they ban you from ordering again!

Just so that you guys know for sure, these are all photo copies. I took one and made many, that look exactly the same. I could have used yellow paper to make a gold, or red paper to make an "EXCLUSIVE" Collector's Paradise edition. Don't pay anything for it, it's a free item to be shared among friends and fans.

We should do it. Rafer might get a kick out of it if one of us tweets it after.
