Mags - Comic Shop News #248

Cover to Comic Shop News #248 featuring the cover to Archer & Armstrong #0 by Barry Windsor-Smith.


Original Art - Rai #6 cover


I'm trying to put together a complete collection of black and white ink art posts of every pre-UNITY Valiant comic. So far I've got X-O Manowar #1X-O Manowar #2X-O Manowar #4 and Harbinger #6. Here is another post (sort of) in that series. This time it's the cover art for a UNITY book - Rai #6 by Frank Miller. Now what's interesting about the UNITY covers is they were all done by only 3 different artists (Barry Windsor-Smith, Frank Miller and Walt Simonson) and none of them were ever sold until now. This cover is the first (that I know of) to reach the collector market and therefore the first to be scanned in all its black and white glory.

Behold.

Harada Protocol Teaser

Valiant's latest teaser hints at something very bad happening to Toyo Harada in Harbinger Wars #2...something to do with the Harada Protocol.

Harbinger Wars #2

Shadowman Teaser

One of my favorite teasers that Valiant released was this 'interactive' teaser that announced the Shadowman series:

Shadowman

The teaser seems all black until you look a little more carefully and see Shadowman come out of the darkeness!! Check out the inverted version:

Are You Different Teaser

I'm on a run with the teasers (see here and here) so why not show off the teaser that announced the return of Faith Herbert aka Zephyr to Harbinger and to the Valiant Universe!
