No, I read a little esperanto.

I think he mentioned Lupin III and Fujiko Mine.

Do you have evidence to dispute the assertion that Solar 52 is the worst Valiant cover ever?
If you lick it, you get high.

Unless you're Aric. Then you just get rabies:

This cover is just horrible. I don't like the Solar cover or the Punx cover...or any of the other covers posted so far. But this is just horrible. Where is that vomiting emoticon??

That is actually the first appearance of the Black costume Solar . . . and the first appearance of his Onyx fortress located on the dark side of the moon . . I don't know why they didn't ever explore this more in the books . . .

You could look at that one all night long, and it would look the same...

I actually have that white one. I like it because of all the embossing. It is not just flat white.

FF #371 featured artwork of the Human Torch in full flaming rage...it was just embossed.

(Prolly a joke, but for the record, this had nothing to do with BWS missing any deadlines....they planned it this way from the beginning. Solar #10's cover is the link between the "world's largest comic book panel" in Alpha and Omega, and the first panel of Solar #1. Quite brilliant, if you ask me. I'm just surprised BWS SIGNED the cover.

Heck, he even got PAID for the cover.

Check it out here at THE Jim Shooter Interview (in case you've missed it to date!).

Conceptually, it was his idea, regardless of how simple it may have been, so yeah, he deserved to get paid for it.

Let's just say, it is MORE than made up for by, oh, Conan #1-24, Uncanny #186, 198, 205, 214, Solar #1-10, etc etc etc....

No disagreement from me. And I think the price was more than fair.
