FrankCastleAZ Introduction Post -EDITED-

Post by FrankCastleAZ »

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've lurked on and off for about a year and finally signed up to occasionally post here and there and join in support of a dead (sort of) comic brand that made my childhood experiences with comics extremely special.

I've probably had roughly 50% of every Valiant comic ever produced in my time and slowly got rid of most of my Valiant collection minus the X-Os and Turoks.

I'm glad to see that Valiant is coming back, although it's too slow for my preference. I'm picking up whatever I can to show my support via sales whether it be Valiant's hardcovers or the Dark/Key/Shooter books.

I collect a little of everything and I'm sure you can tell by my username I'm a big fan of the Punisher.
You can check out my complete collection and wishlist via my ComicBookDB profile HERE.

I likely won't become a regular poster here as I'm a bit busy running my own stuff, but I'll likely pop in here and there.

-FrankCastleAZ

Many of that I wouldn't want for storage reasons (I have too much sh1t as it is already) but there's quite a few pieces in there I've dreamed about for a long, long time (Many of which you have a million copies of).

Welcome to the board, Frank.

In order to keep these individual galleries as clutter free as possible, we direct our comments to this thread. Feel free to discuss all you want over there. I'll leave this up for a couple of days, then clean up these comments.

Edited top post so you can move to an Introductions area or whatever.

Apologies for not reading the rules in the Gallery area. Usually I read the rules before I do anything on a forum.

Sweet! Who are the others besides yourself and JonesyAZ?
I'd be extremely interested in getting together some time in the future!
If you guys go to Phoenix Comicon you might know me as the Founder/Owner of AZHP who has run the Video Gaming rooms at PCC for the last 5 years. PCC 2011 will be our 6th straight year. Also if you go to Atomic Comics locations you'll have seen AZHP's Marvel VS Capcom machine at Atomic Comics Chandler or AZHP's Spider-Man machine at Atomic Comics Mesa.

Paul Smith made a great first post and then never returned. So Greg has programmed a special level for those who've made just one post. You're not in that club anymore :thumb:

You know I was joking right? It seemed as if you took what I said serious.
