Does Anyone have any of this stuff scanned? At Least The Covers?

Just when I thought that I was coming close to wrapping up VH1. This is killing me.

Many - most of these are relatively inexpensive - but TOUGH to find.

Find what YOU are happy with.

Ah yes, this is a great thread and now it's been mentioned on OTV. There's still lots of items listed here I have to track down.

Interesting that Magnus #1 was planned for July 1990... that means it was delayed for 8 or 9 months.

It's also interesting that Shooter didn't specify VALIANT in all caps in that first publication. I wonder if that was an oversight on CBG's part, or if he decided to make it all capital letters later.

I wish they had published the reprints to Magnus as TPBs.

Thanks to all for sharing this article.

I just recently purchased a box full of ADVANCE COMICS catalogs from the 90s and your information/list is a bit messed up. The following isn't complete either. I only have issues from 92-96 (and a few are missing, too [58, 76-77, 82, 84-86, 88]), however, I tried to list everything that seems interesting. I'd scan the most important stuff but the scanning function of my printer sucks; everything gets heavily pixelated and it's not worth the effort. Can anyone recommend a decent scanner for jobs like this?
