Does Timewalker TPB exist? I been rebuilding my collection. My brother decided to store them on the floor of our leaky basement. I didn't have anything really worth are monetary value, just sentimental value. Well I just decided to get the regular books, non of the golds, or signed.

Just checked and it was advertised or solicited but never printed(i looked in Valiant price guide 4th edition just to confirm).

Elveen · Post by **Elveen** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 11:20 pm

No Timewalker TPB.

The Valiant trades are:
Harby
X-O
Rai
Magnus steel nation
Magnus invasion
Valiant era
Shadowman
Untiy #1-4
Diamond unitiy #1 and #2(major $$$$)
Solar Alpha omega
Solar second death.

I think that is it.

Then the 3 HC: Harby, XO, A&A

Then there are 4 Q&W Tpbs from acclaim.

.....and Hola Compadre.

About $100 worth of trade.

I always just read the 2 issues by themselves,then to crack it open and read the trade,but thats just me?

With the acceptation of Harbinger 1 I am really not gonna get the expensive stuff. I just want them to re-read, or read them in some cases. It was so surreal actually reading the first 3 issues of solar. Growing up I always wanted them.

Reading is always the best.

I can remember getting some of those impossible books from back in the day. Good times.

Im curious as to why you might think two issues arent enough for a trade?
How many issues does there have to be to make a trade.
If they only made two issues and you get them together what would it be called?
1.5 issues make a trade really, albeit really thin sure, but the idea is that a trade paperback is a collected edition, so anything that is collected can be considered one.
All IMO of course

Oh and welcome to the board.

Just Thor.

Elveens's list looks great (plus comicsyte95's addition that technically is a Dark Horse TPB

). Going outside the original topic here:

Elveen wrote:Diamond unitiy #1 and #2(major $$$$)

Technically rebound issues, not TPBs.

Solar Alpha omega

Also exists as a HC.

Finally (?) there are some Nintendo TPBs and HCs as well.

Your point is valid - the business case for printing the PvM TPB does not really make any sense - the two issues have always been plentiful and easy to find and dirt cheap.

It probably explains why so few of the TPB were printed and why it is so hard to find now.

Welcome to the board. Sorry to hear about your fraternally induced mishap.

Draco picked me up a copy of Harby # 1 for less than 5.00GBP shortly after the $2500 sale of the CGC 9.8 so bargains are always available.

Hulk: Future Imperfect was a TPB and that was only 2 issues and that was a bloody good read.

Agreed. One of my favorite Hulk stories.

Playing devil's advocate though, were not those particular issues longer (48-64 pages) bookshelf format issues to begin with versus PvsM 24 page standard?

They were larger format yes but that is irrelevant. Is it a paperback and is it available on a trade marketplace? I think the answer is yes. Even an original graphic novel with one block of story that was not released previously but is put out in paperback format is a TPB.

Stick around here for a while and keep the posts coming and you would be surprised at what falls in your lap. I have been thinking of getting rid of some of my extras these past couple of months.

Speaking of which has anyone heard from Squirrel? I have a BS: LS I need to ship his way.

That's what I thought back when it was released. Now the Completist in me is kicking the Common Sence in me's butt for it.
