The cover of that book is what made me collect Valiants.
It wasn't the stories, it was the artwork. The stories were secondary, until I grew older, and read them again-- realizing that they went hand in hand. I own over 12 copies of Harbinger 7, because the emotion of the book is so telling on the front cover. I have yet to come across a book that has shifted my perception, and a whole mindset as a fan/collector.

I still regard it as one of the top 5 books that I hold dear to me, if it's only because of the cover alone.

Yeah, it's one of those covers that immediately grabs your attention. Welcome to the board. :)

My turn to "Chiclo" -

Abroad actually means " Out of one's own country, in a foreign country or countries, away from one's home." And it came about that I mis-spelled "aboard" a few times in threads such as these, so I adopted it as my own, much as Dr. Solar says "Welcome to the bored."

:P :lol: :wink:

I say that because we're bored, get it? Like, not excited? You know?

AND it's a homonym of "board", since this is a message board!

It works on so many levels!

(Do I get a Junior Chiclos of America award?)
