There's a KILLER letter from Fabian to Wizard in issue #77. Fab slams the hell out of Wiz! It's worth listing & reprinting here. Maybe I'll get the chance later.---Steve

Here are some pictures...Previews issues are a little tough to scan without pressing the spine, but I think it still turned out decently.

That's it. Comic Price Review is "Overstreet's Comic Price Review".
The text is too small to read in that scan.

I just got a HUGE lot of CSNs--found several of the early ones from the list (though I have to point out--#223 doesn't have a Harbinger checklist, it has a short blurb about Harbinger and the checklist is for comics coming out in October 1991. Also had a little ad for Harbinger, too; but that's probably been seen in other publications).

CSN #302 has the cover of TUROK #1.

A lot of early 90's CSNs had ads for Valiant Comics (though like I said, they might've been seen in other publications; I'm just not sure), plus were mentioned in reccomendations and reviews. I'll have to dig through them.

Update... this one has been published.

Magnus #0 is one of two covers for Overstreet's Comic Price Review #17.
(The other cover is Grimjack.)

A full page (p.21) is devoted to Magnus... from Gold Key to Valiant to Acclaim to current...
3 Valiant covers (Magnus #11, #6, and #7) are shown across the bottom of p.21.

Nice to see them screw up a nice cover with a couple of garish buttons.

It would totally be cool to try and collect all the old wizard's magazines with Valiant articles still bagged. Maybe I'll do that after I complete my current collection obsession. :think:

I found a copy of "Inside Comics" #3 with the unity 1 "Quality is Absolute" cover. It was just too neat to not pick up. Uh-oh - I guess I'm going to have to start looking for the other stuff. I know I had most of the Wizzers at some point in time.

I also picked up the Overstreet Comic Price Review. It has a two page spread on robots in comics with a little bit on Magnus and the different incarnations. If anyone wants it and is having trouble finding it, I can probably pick it up for you as one of the LCSs here had a little blurb in it so he bought a bunch. :thumb:

Not a magazine or article, but it's kind of valiant related, sort of:

I think those look pretty cool, in a tacky toy way. I'd be very surprised if someone from here didn't get them.

In fact, I'm putting in a bid right now ...
