So, over the course of the last couple of months, another Valiant Fan site has surfaced on the Internet. It is located here & too poor to afford a domain apparently but with the name of Valiant Collector Society, they have taken everything we love about Valiant and made it into a profiteering site. The first project is Shadowman #0 Gold signed by Bob Layton and Bob Hall, both forefathers of Valiant past and Valiant future. Two great guys in there own right, I have had great email contact with them over the years. I commend the attempt of a gold book fan project, I really do!
The second project has something to do with Unity #0 and Unity #1. Both of these books are some of the core books that drew the attention of many, many fans 15 years ago and continue warrant attention in today's comic market. BUT, the new website is peddling its wares on its own site, (if it can be called that) and the Original Valiant Fans website, not to mention, stepping on peoples toes, just assuming the reigns and running their own show. Not much is known about the project, but I think Martha Stewart signed it with a red glitter pen.
Now, I have been a member of the Valiantfans site since before the board crash of 2004, but do not post all that often! I am not biased or affiliated to this site in any way! I have a few of the fans projects, not all mind you, but they were really great to be a part of while nothing new was being published by Valiant. BUT Valiant is now on the cusp of publishing new material. Are these projects really necessary. You tell me.......
Until next time.....
