IT LOOKS AMAZING, BETTER THAN THE GRADE WOULD SUGGEST, WITH FOUR RAZOR-SHARP CORNERS AND FEATURES A FABULOUS COVER SHOWING BLOOSHOT FALLING FROM THE SKY. If you are a fan of Valiant you'll want to see our other auctions, including MANY other great KEY ISSUES! THIS CULT-CLASSIC TITLE IS GETTING HOTTER! This landmark book is well known to fans and dealers alike as THE POST-UNITY 'FIRST NINJAK' ISSUE, WITH MEMORABLE FIRST APPEARANCES OF CYNDER AND GLIDER AS WELL, HELPING FURTHER THE INFAMOUS VALIANT CRAZE OF THE EARLY NINETIES! Anybody who was active in the hobby will tell you about how this upstart publisher, helmed by Jim Shooter, started its own new "universe", beginning with Magnus Robot Fighter, followed by Solar, which were both previously Gold Key heroes of the silver/bronze era. But then Valiant commenced introducing their own all-original heroes, which opened the doors for Harbinger, X-O Manowar, Eternal Warrior, Shadowman, Rai, Archer and Armstrong, Bloodshot, Turok, and other great titles soon to follow. The prices escalated rapidly, and those holding copies of the pre-Unity issues could not re-stock fast enough, as demand was literally through the roof. The books had thought-provoking storytelling, coupled with great artwork, and a unique coloring method that gave them a painted feel, unlike the colors found in the big publishers. Due to the fact that Valiant was a newcomer, many dealers didn't want to risk buying something from a small fledgling 'independent publisher' that had previously only put out a small handful of silly videogame-related comics such as Super Mario Brothers, and as a result those cautious dealers were left without any copies of the hottest books to hit the market since the eighties. And because the print-runs were rather small, the books were not readily available from the major distributors after the instantaneous sell-outs, and they were promptly scarce and costly on the back-issue market. Which worked out very well for us, as Key Comics was one of the few established comic companies that anticipated their success and pre-ordered large quantities of all their books beginning with Magnus #1 and continuing up until after the massive Unity storyline and Deathmate crossover. The rights to the Valiant superheroes have changed hands more than once, and there are new incarnations of these great titles. Valiant Entertainment, Inc., put out some Hardcover books, which included new material from Shooter and a new Valiant superhero. They recently settled the dispute over proprietary rights, and there are currently new Valiant products available through Diamond Distribution, making many awaiting fans very happy. Plus it's been officially announced that Sony Pictures will be producing movies based on some of these great superheroes. Also, Valiant will be releasing more additional ongoing titles and more great material is much-anticipated by the many devout fans. Which bodes very well for the original Valiant books, including this series, which kicked off with the first chromium cover by the publisher, and in this less-common issue introduced one of their hotter characters! This great cover is a treat to behold when it's unblemished by such pesky detractors as creases and spine-stresses. It has a Kevin VanHook story coupled with great artwork and the famous multi-hued Valiant colors. All contained within a sharp unread specimen. It doesn't get much better than this! This original first-print comic-book WILL find a new home, as the Buy It Now price is low and there is NO RESERVE! This comic is a real find in strict NM or better shape, as many had flaws, even fresh from the factory cases. And lots of the copies were read, and re-read, time and time again. However, this copy is spectacular, as it's super-clean and there aren't any obvious signs of wear or aging, and it has precise printing registration. And the paper quality is unbeatable! The lighter areas you see below are from lint and dust on the scanner glass and reflections and glare, and are not evident when viewing the actual book in person. Rest assured, the new CGC holder is also impeccable.
