Well I hope for you that the Glow in the dark issue is not thrashed!
Good win!

I just got them today and they all look VF-NM. And the V3 #1 was the No Price Variant

Congrats JS, what part of the #16 book is glow in the dark? I would think that the eyes are for sure.

Local stores (Vintage Stock) had a great back issue sale first of the month. Bought 191 Valiant/Acclaim books for less than $38 (and a couple hundred non-valiant/acclaim books). Have bought over 600 books from three of their stores in the past month for less than $.20 a piece. Got some great runs. Here's the low-down:
VH1
-Bloodshot: only missing #1,8,11,17,45-50 for a complete run, 2 Last Stands
-Complete Unity run minus Part #3(A&A #1)
-X-O: 7,8,41,43-62,65,66
-Magnus: 15,16,40,48-51,53-55,57(both),59-64, yearbook #1
-Shadowman: 4,5,40-43
-Rai: 6,7,26
-The Visitor: 4,8-13
-Timewalker: 0,7,11-15
-Outcast:1
-Solar 12,13
-Harbinger: 8,9,24,28,31,32,33
-Ninjak: 00,26
Acclaim/VH2
-Bloodshot:4
-Trinity Angels: 1(both), 6,7,8
-Operation: Stormbreaker: 1(2)
-X-O: 7,11,12,15-17
-Quantum & Woody: 1,18-20
-Turok: Spring Break:1
-Harbinger: 1

Not a bad haul for $38. Just wish they were books I needed, but I just couldn't pass them up. jp

I tried taking a pic to show what glows but the digicam wont pick up the glow. The eyes glow, the knife, theres also a circle behind the Shadowman that glows, i dont know what it means,, havent read them yet.. and the two people on the left glow. its an really an awesome cover. keep your eyes peeled for one of this

it can be found cheap.

Well you just made my day at work. I have not seen any pictures lately that made me scream out "Holy Sh!t" until now. Good job on them.

Yeah. I found mine last year at SDCC for a dollar. You can see the glow-in-the-dark stuff raised from the cover--try looking at other glow-in-the-dark books like Bongo's Radioactive Man #1 and Image's Shadowhawk #3 to see what I'm talking about.

First the Shadowman Glow in the dark for a steal, now this. It's starting to become clear that you have accessed some latent super Harbinger ability and you are using it to find these hidden Valiant deals.

Wow TLC, that's a lot of UNity 2000's. Too bad he didn't have copies of #3.

Yeah, they were hard to turn down at the price. Unfortunately, they didn't have any #3's.
