If I had been drawn into a book, would that have earned me the "Valiant? I was there!" title? :hm:
Or how about a 'Drawn and quartered by Valiant !!' ??

Not really a screaming deal, but I got the Solar Second Death TPB at my LCS for cover price.

The owner bought a collection recently with a bunch of Acclaim and said he thought the two Magnus TPBs were in there too. I already spoke for them too.

Yep, I get Second Death, Invasion and Steel Nation all for cover.

He's got at least a second Steel Nation for cover price if anyone is especially interested.

Preacher V1 Trade = 50p
Chuck Norris and his Karate Commandos. Star Comics # 1-4 50p

All made of win baby.

Whats even funnier is that i never knew the Chcuk comics existed till i saw them on ebay like five years ago.
Stoopid me went ans sold them and i went toa car boot sale yesterday and there they were.
The person i sold them to bought them for a friend and i think their mother must have not thought too much to their comic collection as it was def my copies as they were still in the same pack with my price label on.

I wont be selling them again.

I went to my LCS today and came back with a couple of bargains.

I picked up another copy of Unity #0 Red for $3.00 and a copy of the VVSS related Bloodshot #6 with the original Valiant mylar for $2.75.

Not to shabby of a deal I thought. :thumb:

Not at all comic related and not really a "deal" so to speak -

I got a $1 silver certificate in change today. I bought some stuff, put my change in my pocket and didn't notice that I had a silver certificate until I pulled my change out to pay for something else.
