That's one impressive set all by itself .
What (and whom) you're building it for just makes it that much cooler .

Thanks Jay!
The birth of my sons is what got me back into comics in 2007. The challenge with twins is trying to have two of everything to avoid the later fights.

I wish I had been on here when those Solar 10 revamped cover books were being created. I actually like that cover.
The zombie covers - though I am a Walking Dead reater - not as much.

And the hits just keep on comin' !bosco685 wrote:This and my Archer & Armstrong 0 Gold came directly from Valiant back in the day when you had to do something to promote the company in order to receive one. I received this from an article I wrote in the Stars & Stripes about the history of comics while I was serving in the U.S. Army Infantry as a platoon leader. The focus turned to how Valiant was the new kid on the block teaching the old-time comic companies how to mix captivating stories with nice artwork. I guess Valiant liked it.
Very impressive, bosco-san; very impressive, indeed .

Thanks Jay. Collecting for twin sons is a tough hobby goal. But I at least know this book is done.
Now to send in the one I bought from you.

Yeah, for sure: best of luck on that'n . I didn't realize you planned to submit it . I guess you must've agreed with me that it's FAR tighter than any 9.4 has a right to be, and should (hopefully) garner at least a 9.6. If it's any higher than that, I'll actually be quite pleased about that, mein freund .bosco685 wrote:Thanks Jay. Collecting for twin sons is a tough hobby goal. But I at least know this book is done.

I have not submitted the other copies yet. But my plan is in the next few months to tackle that order, along with that EW 1 Gold Flat.
