Second last panel comes close, but is not an exact match. Still way better match than for Magnus 0 and Magnus 1 for instance. How close match do we require?

i prefer it to be a close match-like a photo snapshot 10 seconds earlier or later-giving a different perspective of the same event. but that's just me.

That's true... there are matches that are slightly before or after or "other angles" on the same scene.

I don't know if there's one in every pre-Unity book, but it's very common.
I always liked seeing those.

Nerd alert ~ not relevant just showing of irrelevant knowledge.

The phantom comic in Australia printed by 'frew',
The editor used to lift a pannel from inside, blow it up, and went over it in colours ~ and that was the cover!

Talk about cheap!

The cover of X-O #1 didn't really match any inside panel, at least as far as I recall.

Now that I think about it, a lot of the number 1 issues didn't match.

I don't really remember the cover of Rai 1 being a panel. Harbinger 1 neither.

Also, the "Rai #1" backside of Magnus 5, I don't recall that being a panel.

I don't remember Armstrong carrying Archer away from bullets in front of a big yellow dot either.

Well, there is a panel similar to that in the comic...

(and yes, the VH-1 thing is kinda weird)

Yeah, I know there is a similar panel in the comic. I was just pointing out how outstanding I think that cover is. It gets to the root of what Solar is all about.

Gotcha... I thought you were questioning whether or not.....

It doesn't take much snow for me to get the drift.

Definately one of the best Valiant covers. I think it shows a lot about the character. One day I'll have to get a commission of this.
