Total noob question
Hey guys this is my first post so be gentle
I couldn't find a place to introduce myself so here it goes. My name is Johnny and I used to collect Valiant in the early 90's but at the time I couldn't afford most of the Pre-Unity issues because hey were in high demand. Now I'm in the process of reading all the issues in order as best I can according to the list man of the atom made. I'm bearly at Solar 2 on the list I have a ways to go but the more I read the more excited I get!
Anyway this may sound dumb to some of you but I figure this is the best place to ask so my question is about Rai 3 I see two covers CGC graded and wondered what is with the cover that has Rai fighting Magnus I've never seen this cover before.

Re: Total noob question
Welcome to the board. I've moved this post to the correct location "My Valiant Story".
The Rai #3 with Rai fighting Magnus is the flipside of Magnus #7.
CGC incorrectly slabbed the book as Rai #3, it's actually Magnus #7.

Re: Total noob question
Welcome to the bored!
Your story sounds pretty similar to lotsa folks. I was 12 or 13 when Valiant was coming out, couldn't afford any of the back issues.
It was nice and sweet to get all those back issues finally.

Re: Total noob question
Welcome back - like you, I started then, too.
Good advice? Look for those BIG lots ob ebay - missing a few issues, but not too bad on the full cost - versus buying issue by issue.

Re: Total noob question
Johnny U,
Welcome! If you haven't already, check out the main website, where you can find images of all Valiant covers. You'll find that Magnus issues #5-8 were flip books that had Rai #1-4 on the opposite side. This was a Rai mini-series that is different from the Rai ongoing series that started later.
Hope that helps!
