Eternal Warrior Map updated...

In issue 36 it is explained that issue 32 was missing a page of art. It seems a page of art was misplaced when it was suppose to go to the printer. Well, it was inserted into issue 36.. which seems odd if you are reading from issue to issue, but for us bounders its easy to rip out that page and insert it where it is suppose to go!!

I added this little tid-bit to the bottom of the map where the notes go.

I called them up and spoke with an Angel Dale-she said they purchased their entire binding inventory including all the dies. The prices will go slightly higher but not more than $20 per basic bind...it will take about a month for them to set everything up. They are moving everything to Nebraska (which appears to be the binding capital of the world) Hopefuly James will have his company up soon.

Interesting that she said they purchased the dies. Several of the other binding forums I frequent are telling members to request their dies back from LBC. Since those dies were bought and paid for by customers and "loaned" to LBC for others to use, I wonder what exactly Houchens thinks they bought re: dies.

No new Valiant binds but I did get some original artwork added to the inside of my Magnus Robot Fighter bind by Magnus inker Bob Layton.

That is really nice. Did he charge for it?

Yeah he did charge. But it was reasonable and he had already done a very cool Iron Man in my "free book" the day before. In fact I got a lot of really cool stuff in my free book at this convention.

This is true. Here is a quick Iron Man he did in my free book. He said at a con last year he was timed and can do a Iron Man profile in 30 seconds.

I know these arent Valiants but I am really proud of them and its not like there is much binding news with LBC down at the moment

This is a sketch Tone Rodriguez did inside my Punisher 1-25 (1987)

And a Cyborg & Beast Boy Tony Fleecs did inside my Teen Titans 1-26 (Geoff Johns)

Also, I had to post becasue the post prior to this was 666!

LOL

I have been thinking about getting a spine die made for Bone when LBC opens up again actually.

Its through a new binder obviously with the whole LBC Houchens thing.
They are based in Canada but a friend of mine who in one of the coolest moves Ive ever heard, convinced his wife to let him do about 45 binds at once as they are doing a basement remodel and it clears out a good 2-3 longboxes worth of stuff out of the house.

Since he was driving them there he let me add a few along for the ride, I'm always down for free shipping and 15 dollar binds. They are glue based to the buckram, but still feel very sturdy.

I also sent off the Alan Moore run of Supreme, and the 7 soldiers (30 part x-over) so very excited to see all three.

Sounds like a chane to see what this new company can offer. Why is the glueing different? Are the pages still sewn?

I just scored an extra Unity set and I’m thinking about having it bound. I’m leaning towards the HC with wraparound art.

To make my collection stand apart from the original TPB volumes, I may want to start the run with Solar #11 and end with The Lost Unity Chapter.

What do you guys think?

If I remember right, the Unity Lost Chapter was more about Aric than anything. Its all up to you though, each bound book is a piece of art that you've created
