There are three grail covers I would love to own.

Solar 1, the reason I fell in love with Valiant.

Harbinger 1, the reason I became a super fan (I bought three, on the week of release, I love it so much).

Solar 3, as it’s the first appearance of the best Valiant villain, and a gorgeous cover to boot.

Maybe 4th would be Solar 5. That cover balances “real life” and “super hero.”

Amazing. Are there 2 prints? One photo has the solar title and one photo is a virgin print.

Holy Guacamole! Blister is in Solar #3?!?!
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

One is showing the acetate overlay with the title box, logo and price - the other picture is just the art without the overlay.

That’s a crazy sale….would that be a Valiant fan that paid that? Or a BWS collector?
