My Valiant Story
Blame it on on Wizard magazine... in 1992, my grade school friends introduced me to comic book collecting and image/valiant comics. pre-Unity comics were moving up in price, but I was able to pickup the TPBs and subscribe to post-unity books. I still remember comic books stores with piles of Valiant comics behind glass! It's so fun for me to now be able to pickup these books for $1 or less!
When I heard that Valiant was relaunching in 2012, I was excited that the books were brought back by 'fans'. But when I asked my LCS to order them, they gave me a blank look. "Valiant comics?"
Man, that made me feel old. I was still able to pickup the first issues at the stands, before moving to Comixology for digital editions. Over the last few weeks I found out about OTV (while searching for Valiant podcasts) which led me to this site.
Also noteworthy is that I'm from Pittsburgh (like Jim Shooter) so I love that Harbinger starts off there! Especially, the VH3 Harbinger which features a ton of city shots.
I'm also interested in collecting VH1 original art. I only have a few pages, but my CAF gallery is here:

Thanks for reading!

You're alright in my book, Anthony - Pittsburgh is a great hockey town. Welcome to the board!
Now, don't go gettin' fooled by that pesky lorddunlow guy just 'cause he got to you first... anybody what's racist 'gainst us Cana'jin's like he is, well - they just ain't right in the head somehow, y'know?
