As a completist I like to know just what's out there. I thought I knew about all the litho's valiant did but this one that I won this one last week was new to me:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 2263208265

The ones I know about are:
X-O Manowar #0 Gold signed by Quesada some with COA's (out of 1200)
X-O Manowar #0 Platinum signed by Quesada & Palmiotti with COA (100)
Ninjak #1 signed by Quesada some with COA's (out of 1200)
Quantum & Woody colour litho
Darque Accliam Litho
X-O Manowar #0 Traveling Art Show print signed by Quesada & Palmiotti with COA (1000)

Anyone know of any more?

I have a Bloodshot V1 Meets Bloodshot V2 Litho that was Numbered & Limited to 50. I think Anthony (BloodofHeroes) has the original artwork for it, plus litho #1. I forget what number mine is. There is also the Dragon Con '92 Print Sets, & the Capital City Exclusive Unity Print Set.---Steve G

I've got that Bloodshot litho too. Perlin did art for one part and somebody else the other (Velluto? can't remember right now). Pretty cool, though.

Yes. Sal Velluto. It is beautiful. It was produced by the old Valiant Fan Club btw. There's some other great stuff from the same source.

Back in Joe Petrilak days. You can read about some of it Greg has archived here.

Joe also did signed books (like we're doing now, kind of) under the names Acclaim Ink & Valiant Comics Online.

He did a Unity comic give away signed "To Be Continued..." by Jim Shooter to pre-promote Unity 2000 (I have an A&A #2 signed like this).

Produced an online Bloodshot card set that you could print out.

But the best I have is a signed copy of the illustrated book "Valiant: 1999 & Beyond" that is awesome.

Incredible! I'd love to see scans Steve.

Joe was just a fan right? He didn't work for valiant? He did all these cool promos for the fan club? What happened to him? I know he dols his collection but how can someone who was so into valiant just give it up?

I originally bought some Turok, Ninjak & Psi-Lord colors from Joe back in late 1998. It was a few months after he hauled a carload of stuff from the closed Acclaim (Valiant) offices.

I don't know why he got out of it. Maybe he had a baby on the way. That seems to be a common reason for selling.

Greg & some others may be able to give more details about the club. I knew about it, but I wasn't a member. A friend of mine was, & that's where I got my Bloodshot litho, signed books, & "1999 & Beyond" book. I'll do some pics of it to post.

Here's pix of the 1999 book and the U2K scripts Joe produced.

Joe Petrilak knew a lot of the Valiant staff, including Jim Shooter and the Acclaim EIC, so was about to get A LOT of valiant STUFF. He started the VALIANT ERA ONLINE fan site way back in 1994. Greg has his site archived here:

Yeah, I haven't updated that section in a while...
There's also the Ninjak litho that needs to be added.

there's an X-O litho on e-bay right now (or just ended)...might have been offered by the ultra-sensative from another thread

(no I don't have a link...I'm at work and e-bay is filtered out...

dino · Post by **dino** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 11:47:14 am

I'm at work and e-bay is filtered out...

I would quit soo fast.

the auction ended at $41, i know because I was beat out AGAIN!

heres the link

$41 is a little high for the litho (although its been much higher in the past). I think if it was to come up on its own it would sell for less. This auction had some very nice extras though.

I think it is worth it for the Litho alone but I really only bid on it for the extras. I don't think I have ever seen those promo flyers before and the oversize cards are kinda hard to find.

I agree, and now you have a business card to boot!

Doh! You beat me to the business card comment.

I agree that when you factor in the other Valiant goodies, the price seems pretty fair. I've personally never seen those b/w posters in the back of the photo.

Jorge Gonzalez gave me that card himself back in spring of '94.
I have another one at home, but thats mine.
