Wasn't there a Shooter catchphrase about story over splash
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

It was promo art for previews magazine. I used the color painting for it and the previews art and then also the alpha & Omega font and radiation symbol plus the og valiant logo. Same og font on the price and month as well.

Ok, so back then I was batchelor padding it out in walnut Creek, well dude that helped me with the Photoshop on his profile here it also said he was in walnut Creek (he made his account here while I lived there). It was so weird, at that time I had a bunch of different girls coming over all the time and often would take them to the public hot tubs. I lived in these resort style condos with heated pools and gym and everything, anyway, this one time me and my date were in the hot tub just me and her, then out the blue some weird dude just hopped in and cock blocked our whole moment. He was literally like trying to talk to us and I just kept trying to ignore him. I was thinking to myself, I think that's the dude that helped me with the solar cover🤔💀😂 never could prove it but I swear, I think that's what happened. Back then I didn't know about vpns and all that so I'm sure my wifi was wide open, lol poor guy musta saw a lot of chick pics 😅

Ah, yeah its the same font as they used for VALIANT logo right? I was putting together a VH1 fanzine a while back (got sidetracked unfortunately) and was digging for the exact font they used for the original VALIANT logo, I think I found it though.

Not sure, was very basic for the pricing and month, originally.

I've got a stack of these, PM me if interested, I'll dig em out of storage if there's enough demand. They are secure in a poster tube.
