Bravura (Malibu) - Issue List
Bravura was created by Malibu Comics to showcase the talent and personal ideas of already known creators. The marketing tool used for these books was the gold stamp program. Each book contained a 'stamp' placed in the center of the book... if you collected a stamp from each book, you could turn it in for a 'gold' or 'silver' issue. This was just the same #1 issue but had either gold or silver foil on the cover. Not very clever as I think this is what killed this line of books. A shame as there were some GREAT stories here... Breed by Jim Starlin and Power and Glory by Howard Chaykin are two of the better known titles.

Also, I am glad that you saved the list since Defiant1 has stripped all non-catfish discussion from his site There are still the Defiant and Broadway lists there but there is nothing left from Bravura or the Ultraverse.
I have my own list but yours is more user friendly

Thank you for the additional information. I hope to generate some interest with these pieces of great info.
Yesterday up in Tucson I came across two Power & Glory TPBs and for some odd reason I thought that I had them (when I actually have the Breed TPB) and didnt pick them up. I will in a couple of weeks. I guess my mind was a bit out of it as I had picked up a Predator vs Magnus TPB for $7.50 !!!

I thought that was so silly when I realized that he had signed inside.Knightt wrote:Looks a little sumpthin' like DIS !!!Technique wrote:There are a few Dynamic Forces signed issues that I know of. None are cover variants or anything like that.
Breed 1 DF signed by Starlin
Crazy thing... Jim Starlin signed the INSIDE of the book and not the cover. WTF ?
At first I thought that I received one that had not been signed.
Couldn't someone have provided a silver ink pen?

You must have paid for priority. I went cheap and paid for media.Knightt wrote:I got these books in from Joey today... they are SWEET !!! I will post a few pics later.
Doing some internet shopping today, I think we will be surprised at just how many DF signed books are out there for other DUs !!!
Hopefully mine arrive tomorrow or Monday
Re: books
Sounds GREAT, seeing as how my deal for these books with a 'board member' seems to have gone WAY South. I will take you up on it !!!dac55 wrote:I dident know you collected Next Men Knight. I get them when I can get a good deal on them.
