| Cancelled - the Valiant that never was In the course of the 10 years of Valiant/Acclaim Comics there were from time to time books that were solicited but later cancelled. This is a list of these books with cover image and story description where available. All story descriptions are taken from the Previews catalogue. Most of the images as well. The rest is taken from ADVANCE COMICS catalogue. |
Due to the resounding success of Vintage Magnus Robot Fighter and a steady stream of requests for other classic Gold Key material, we proudly present this collection of outstanding Turok stories. The artwork, by ALBERTO GIOLETTl is among the best of the series, all beautifully recolored for this deluxe forty-eight page book in the renowned VALIANT full-color style. Also included will be reproductions of some of the earliest (and best) painted Turok covers. A must for dinosaur and Indian fans.
