Key Original Artwork Covers

[turbod16]

I think this falls under key VEI covers .....

Ed,

Those are amazing! I think the only thing better than seeing OA is seeing unused OA that many of us have never seen. I think that is why I think SonicDan's Rai#0 pages are so amazing. I consider myself a Valiant fanatic, but I had no idea there were all those unused pages. Guess I thought of a new topic.

Turbod16 and Jmatt,

Both you having amazing pieces! An iconic cover and art from Henry (who I think is the best Valiant artist). His facial expressions really tell the story.

Wow, this is a great thread. Love every single piece shown.

To me everything in my collection are key pieces. For instance these two for introducing the Valiant and Acclaim versions of the Armorines:



and these two Harbinger covers for their importance to the story about Torque, and indirectly Magnus:



Magnus 0 (color with a special "wrapping") and Predator vs Magnus (TPB) are key for me:



These (Wizard Special and Rise of Lydia) demonstrate special periods in Valiant history, so I include them as well (even though the second one was an interiour page, I count it as the cover for the inserted extra story):

This is a awesome thread that made me "SQUEE!" More than a couple of times!

This thread is breaking my heart. So much beauty.

Holy cow you guys have some monster pages of art!

[MGS]

Huh, somehow I totally missed this thread the first time around. Not sure if these would be considered "key" VEI covers, but here are a few of mine that might fit the bill:

Quantum & Woody #1 by Ryan Sook


Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #1 by David Lafuente


Valiant 25th Anniversary Special FCBD 2015 Cover by Rafa Sandoval


4001 A.D. #1-#4 by Ryan Sook


If you're interested, you can see the rest of my (mostly) Valiant OA collection in my CAF gallery.

Love all of these, but especially the Q&W #1 cover.

[unityshadowman]

These are all fantastic! Thanks to everyone for sharing. Bare Naked Ladies sang it best with "If I had a million dollars...."

Key Original Artwork Covers, or what would be my holy grail would be Cowan's EW #4. I started reading/collecting Valiant when I bought SMotA #1 on the newsstand at my brick and motar comic shop, but what solidified it for me was EW #4. That was something special and is probably my favorite cover of all time. If anyone is selling or knows a source, lemme know, I'd consider a second mortgage with that thing.

Love those Sook's and that Sandoval cover, MGS!

He clearly cheated though I have a cover from that issue also.
