Hint, in the editorial, VALIANT's Editor in Chief, Jim Shooter, tells us that the book we hold in our hands is the most important since Avengers #1. Thirteen years later and I'm still not sure that he was wrong. When this book was first released it was a national sensation. Every kid worth his polybag and backing board just had to have one, and the resulting frenzy sent the book to the top of Wizard's Top Ten Hottest Books List for a then-record four months.

HippityHoppity wrote:Simply the best single issue of the decade and number four on Wizard's list of the top ten best comics over the last fifteen years. Jim Shooter, Barry Windsor-Smith and Bob Layton, all at the peak of their powers, tell the story of the birth and death, and then birth again of the VALIANT universe. Originally serialized in the first ten issues of Solar Man of the Atom, the story set the tone for every science fiction and superpowered book that has come since. Shooter used real science, and even explained complex ideas, to firmly ground his epic. But, the real genius of the book is its focus on one man, Phil Seleski, and his struggle to come to terms with waking up to find he has the power of a god. Barry Windsor-Smith provides his best work since the final issue of his Conan run, while Jim Shooter only had to wait six months to top this.

Dude, next time you plagarize someone you should at least give the reference page:
http://comicbookbin.com/reviews001.html

This is the reason I was saying weeks ago why the 50 post minimum for inclusion in the board special issues is risky. You get lots of spam.

Damn good catch D-Lite

I even read that article while back becasue it was actually talked about in another thread and all referenced correctly.

EDIT - Found it

Yeah, I think its actually been discussed in at least 2 and maybe 3 other threads.

Nobody saw this one?

This may be a trend... whomever hit the BIN on those two for $50 each is prolly gonna re-sell them.

Damn it.

Wouldn't doubt it.

Again 2 people brought the price of this book up to an unreasonable amount. A good thing if you don't need any more of them. Not so good if you're shopping. I know Greg said he hasn't seen prices fluctuate that greatly over the past year, but he is in grad school, and busy. Just a thought.

greg · Post by **greg** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:46 pm

I'm not denying that price increases will occur, I'm simply
stating that "monthly pricing updates" have been
essentially fruitless in the grand scheme of price changes.

If Solar #0 Hardcover is making significant changes in the market,
I'll do my best to include the information in my next update.
(Surely there'll be an update sometime in '06, right?)

If there is anything we can do to help with the price guide I'm sure we'd all be happy to help.

Prices for these are usually all over the place. I bought a sealed one last year for $35 and sold my unsealed one for $54 ten days later. I have always found that the activity on this book doesn't follow a pattern.

Blood of Heroes · Post by **Blood of Heroes** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:16 pm

Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I bought something on ebay for $100 less than an identical item that sold a week before. It just depends on how determined/crazy the bidders are.

missed that one as well DJ.

I see we even got honourable mentions as well..."and with the guys on Valiantcomics.com hoarding every one they find (!) chances are you're still looking!"

Insightful Plagarism (if thats a word) is good if its not it should be. I got Dave thinking and Daniel looking like a star.

Either way it made people think.

FYI D-ROCK READ BELOW!
