just wondering if anyone got anymore info on that Valiant KFC comic.
I f you dont know a little while back on ebay some posted this comic with a cover scan, it was in spanish and was claimed by the seller to be the only copy to exist. It was a valiant comic and of course it was won by Aug003 (is he a member?). Just want to know what you guys think, and is there a scan on this site of the3 cover?

'Kenny Kid and Hop Hop'
I have contacted the artist and he gave me a full explanation of what it is and who participated in its creation. He also told me that there is an english version in existance. I will post his full email at my page in my next update.

It was a promo given out at KFC from what I can tell.
They probably commissioned VALIANT to produce it for them.
Here's a pic:

I currently have 2 of these in my collection.
If anyone ever comes across an English version I'd trade one.

Your right, KFC (formerly Kentucky Fried Chicken) hired Voyager Communications to produce this as a childrens handout. The penciler and character designer was Ron Zalme and according to him:

"I believe, but I'm not certain, that either Kenny Lopez or Jose Albelo did the lettering and it was colored in house (possibly by Kenny Lopez or Janet Jackson). I can't remember who inked it (again, quite possibly Kenny)."

He also said he didnt even know a Spanish version existed since he only has only seen the English version.

Someone might want to check with JJ to see if she remembers it, or Bob Layton might remember some of these commercial projects.

Similar to what sonicdan said, I am willing to trade a Valiant Spaghettios comic for an English version of this KFC comic. Let me know.
