It is so hard to locate one I was thinking about calling Harrsion Form to help me find one.
The way he way acting on Jay Leno last night, I'm not even sure he would be able to find his way home on his own.....

Really? I missed it. what happened?

He was acting kinda strange to me, like he was on some strong medication or very tired.

A valuable book, price is very volatile, print run is likely 1,000 or less...
but sometimes found in clueless comic dealer longboxes...
who sell it for cover price ($2.50) or LESS!

High grade copies could break $200 easily on eBay.

No thanks.

Are you seriously kidding me?

I saw one of those at that estate sale last weekend. Looked to be in very high grade.

Shoulda spent the quarter to get it. Maybe next time

Good story. The thrill of the hunt is certainly one of the fun parts of this hobby.

I've owned two of the GBU and those are the only ones I have ever seen. Besides seeing others around here that have them.

I really do think that 750 of these were printed with an overprint of say 100 copies.

It's a treat finding one i did at SDCC last year and it only set me back $10.00

Good luck finding one.

Cosmic actually started in Lincoln, and had up to 3 shops there during the 90's boom. When the market started to collapse the owner closed the shops and became a history teacher.

Doesn't Cosmic make an appearance in Shadowman 16?

adammikael · Post by **adammikael** » Mon May 12, 2008 5:55:22 pm

that would be really cool is Cosmic did. Since Shadowman was in Nebraska at one point.

We should have a Nebraska Chapter for the Valiant Community. Or at least a midwest chapter. We'll invite Daydreams from Iowa City too

Well, I got an email from Mr Hall the other day and he's going to let me interview him for my website and is interested in doing an in-store at my LCS in Omaha (LEGEND COMICS).

AND ..... Ostrander is at the Comic show in Des Moines on Saturday, so hopefully I'll get a TON of Magnus, Rai and Eternal Warrior signed.

Maybe I'll even have a few extra
