Magnus and Harbinger Coupon artwork

Post by Sean_Jackson »

I know that the coupons for each of the zero issues told a reeeeally small story or were trading cards.

Anyone have scans of the artwork on each of the coupons?

H0 pink did not have a coupon. The collected Harada story the coupons in 1-6 told are reprinted in H0 pink and blue.

M1-8 had 3 trading cards and 1 coupon each. The coupons were actually like frames in an action sequence. Someone on the boards put them together into an animated GIF. The best place ot get a look at all the cards is with the uncut sheet. There's a picture of one on the site in the "misc" section.

Magnus 0 (mail-away) did have a harbinger-like coupon/card in it. I've seen a scan posted on the boards before.

As Chris said, the cards do a good job of showing the art. I do own one pair of art for Magnus cards (two images on one art board). I also own card number 8, but was stupid enough to mail it away for a signature. If it ever shows up for sale or otherwise, please report that to me immediately. A few other cards are with an Italian collector.

I've got a couple. I quit collecting insurgents after they kept blowing up my kitchen.

Did you send it to Art Nichols by any chance?

Exactly. Good to see that people remember. I hope one day Art Nichols will understand he needs to do good. Money-wise others lost more than me, but together with the money order for a commission I also sent things to sign, and this art is what I really regret letting out of my hands.

Whoah, I had heard about Art Nichols doing nasty things keeping money from undone commissions. It was a real thing, then. Shame on him

Best,

Why doesn't someone just sue the *SQUEE* for theift and mail fraud? I'm sure he still has 'evidence' with him and many people will testify. Loosing that card art would really bring me down even 7 years later.

Where does he live? There must be a board member that could pay a visit to him. Maybe wearing a ski mask. :)

I don't think he currently lives in the US. He took me for over $150 :x
The only time I ever really got ripped off in an art deal.
Too add insult to injury, evertime I re-read the early Magnus books
(which I absolutely love) I think about how Nichols still owes a lot of people.

Does anyone have any they could post to help him out? Someone was kind enough to post the Harbinger cards for me when I asked this question a while ago. I didn't keep the computer files for some *SQUEE* reason but did print them out. If you wanted I could scan what I printed but I think their should be some people on here with pics that would be better than that.

Yeah it really is a drag. I was out only cash, however.
I feel really bad for Magnus who didn't get his art back.
For what it's worth, Nichols' rep is tarnished forever. Money can be replaced.

YES!! John's wife did show me the piece and I can never remember her name. I offered him some dough for it recently, I think she may even have a picture of it still at the shop! BTW, when are you and I going to get together for a drink? I am going to meet Baron maybe Sunday for a beer, I will PM you my number again if your interested.
