ithuriel's story

ithuriel · Post by **ithuriel** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:55 pm

back in the late eighties , early ninetys i used to collect mostly marvel comics , namely the uncanny x-men.used to go in every month and pick up about seven to eight comics when one month i was talking to the guy taking my money and he said valiant were pretty good so i gave them a go.
i was soon an avid collector and reader of the eternal warrior , harbinger, shadowman , x-o man,o,war and bloodshot etc.,
then during the mid ninetys the number of comic book stores decreased down to the present total of two and valiant among others started to vanish from the shelves.its roughly around the time i stopped collecting comics too , though i occasionally drop in to a store just to browse and maybe pick up the odd issue to read.
dont really know how many comics i have lying in a dark cupboard but ive got from harbinger #4 onto #30 i think , eternal warrior#1 onto about the same and so on.
thats my story anyway

thanks for the welcome.
i dont know if theres enough room in the industry anymore for more than two big companies and a couple of small ones but im kind of hoping one day there will be the conditions for valiant or at least the characters to return.

Nice story, ithuriel - succinct, even! Much more to the point than mine.
