Description

Harbinger #15 cover by Howard Simpson and Bob Layton. Harada looks so badass. I love original Valiant! I always wanted to own every page and the cover to a single issue and I have this complete issue-full 21-Page story to Harbinger #15. I remember when this came out and that makes me feel old. The story begins with Ax needing to rebuild his arm - after he lost it in fight with Bloodshot. Valiant had such great intertwined continuity in their titles. This was an important issue as it introduced Livewire and Stronghold who would later become the featured characters in Secret Weapons series. Livewire is also a major character in the new Valiant (VEI). I also love how Valiant used to do everything manually the captions and word balloons were done as paste-ups on the page for placement. These have discolored and some have fallen off, but its great seeing the process.

For me, it's one of the memorable covers from early Valiant! Congrats on the win, I'm very envious of having a complete boom!

Really really nice. Not familiar with the series but then I started reading it and it's quite good. Amazing to have full story.

Really nice cover! I remember this disappearing from the stores when the Secret Weapons series was announced, back when anything Valiant was instantly worth more than cover price. Harbinger was one of the best books and I never missed it. Everything in the first 25 issues was classic. And this cover, with Harada standing above the fray, is really symbolic of that character's role in the entire series.
