Albert kind of looks like Mic Jager in the second to last panel.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more stories with Albert and Erica set before Unity... but could they be done without diminishing what comes later?

It's the ascot.

Most women in VALIANT and other comics of the era had larger chests. Made them easy to identify.

I guess we are just used to seeing him in "Fist & Steel" mode, with Gilad wearing the stylized jacket and a fierce grimace.

:D

The only time it's acceptable is if you are on a tropical beach, lounging in the sun. The only time.

I'd advise all board members to try this classic concoction...

3 parts gin (Bombay Saphire ftw)
1 part dry vermouth
Sift through ice
Served in a chilled glass with as many pitted olives as you can get on a cocktail stick.

These babies actually impart super-powers on ingestion, after a couple you'll discover amazing variances in local gravity, a couple more and you'll be speaking in tongues... any more and you begin to time travel (you can lose a whole evening, but it's very disorienting and your head may ache)

Thanks, but I'll pass. A good sniff of Maker's Mark is my poison of choice - neat.

Looks like they drew him to look like an old kooky looking version of Geoff.

I often ask people to recommend a bourbon so I'll be sure to check that out, if you ever need to know a good single malt, give us a shout.

And yeah, the dude does have the look of Geoff.

16 posts. No answers. Thanks :thumb: :roll:

I found the answer myself. He is a geomancer. And that's Erica next to him, not Gilad :wink:

Make mine a Haig and Haig Dimple Pinch. Neat.

Bourbon is fine and dandy, but I like peat.

Interesting... Dumb question, but was this from the same issue? I like bits of nuance like that.

It was answered in the first post after your question and I'm pretty sure that it's Gilad, not Erica. :wink:

Did I come off as an *SQUEE*? I was just trying to point out that the question had been answered is all.
