Worth it though, the detail is breathtaking in person.

A masterwork from a master.

Beautiful! And super nostalgic. When Valiant first began, their stories were so different and exciting and dare I say ADULT, that they were special to read in a different way. I wish I could recapture that feeling of my youth. These art pages are what bring me closest.

Can't think of much good to say about Valiant Comics, but at least they knew enough to hire the right artists.  BWS did some spectacular work for the company.  As this piece so aptly illustrates.

Highly collected and memorable cover!  They were printing money all day and every day with BWS art.

The forecast for this cover is cloudy with a high probability of BWS! (Also, and this is from the heart, I sincerely apologize for making you pay so much for it. I recognize that it was indeed selfish of me to not have enough savings that would have allowed me to relieve you of, what is clearly, the unspeakable burden of having acquired it.)

One of the best classic Valiant covers. A BWS masterpiece. Congratulations on this great addition to your collection.
