A donor contacted me earlier this week about the possibility of winning the charity auction
that Newsarama was holding to sponsor their coverage of Wizard World Chicago.
I thought it would be great if VALIANTfans.com was involved,
and long story short -- We WON!

VALIANTfans.com is the official sponsor of Wizard World Chicago '06 coverage on Newsarama.com.

Check out the auction to see what we won:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220011392365

Here's the graphic I'm planning to use (it will be posted in all Newsarama.com coverage):

The graphic being used is a shortened version (for size constraints),
the longer version can be seen here (may be slow downloading the first time):
http://www.valiantfans.com/images/valiantfansfull.gif

Coverage began today (8/3), so be ready for the possibility of a few new faces around here...
we may see our community grow in the very near future.

The first article on Newsarama that incorporates the sponsorship is active!

Very cool. Now that newsaramas coverage has the VALIANTFANS.com seal of approval I can actually read and not worry. Thumbs Up

Yeah, congrats. I was just on Newsarama, and that very banner led me here. I just joined.

Wow. Seeing those images really brought back some great memories. (I've been a fan since Magnus #1.) I didn't think there were that many other Valiant fans out there that were STILL fans.

Anyway, congrats, and thanks for keeping some of my best comic reading memories alive!

.....or maybe we'll be good for Newsarama. Hitting the above link is the first time I've ever been to THEIR website. Could be we will find out soon just how significant or insignificant the underground support of all-things-Valiant reallly is.

Fantastic idea with the sponsorship. That rumbling sound could be a stampede of new members........or my stomach.

Hey, great article!

So you guys put together a Valiant panel for the bi-coastal cons? I think I just found my excuse to drive up to the next Big Apple con!

And thanks for all the welcomes!
