Various things I found today

[dellamorte]

While digging through some old boxes I came across an envelope filled with promo items. Just curious if anyone has any info on them.

1. A Plasm promo sheet. It's page six of Plasm #0 on the front and features info for the second edition binder on the back.

2. A Dark Dominion print #39/1500. It features card art for Bo Peep, Michael Alexander, Skinner, Oak, Quantum Monster and Chasm with the Dark Dominion logo at the bottom. The envelope everything was stuffed into was for this print.

3. A black and white one sided glossy Plasm promo featuring the Defiant logo across the top growing in size from left to right. The standout thing about this is a drawing of Lorca by Neal Adams.

4. Several Press releases for Defiant from the Newlin Company.

5. A four page b&w promo for the Good Guys. Features info on the casting call

6. A letter from the CEO of the River Group promising improvement from them. This apparently accompanied an exclusive 3 card pack featuring characters from Warriors of Plasm and a Jim Shooter autographed Dark Dominion #1. I know I have the Dark Dominion but I'm not sure about the cards.

7. Dark Dominion Promo Cards. I have 3 different ones each contains four images on the front and the same info for the card set on the back. They are as follows.

Oink, Lurk, Muriel and Ludwig, the back says created for Capital City Distribution.

Clunk, Elephant and a 2 card panel from the #0 issue (the backside of cards 8 & 9)

Skunk, Calamari, Shylock and Scat. The back says created exclusively for Comicfest '93.

8. Defiant envelope, gloves and letter. I'm pretty sure these go with the Birth of the Defiant U. book.

9. Promo card for Dark Dominion, front is Michael Alexander kinda glowing back is info on the zero issue set.

10. Plasm promo poster by Lapham, Plasm in upper left corner with The Birth of The Defiant Universe under it. I don't think this image was used elsewhere.

11. Lastly I have a Broadway comics newsletter number one. It's called the word, it's 6 black and white pages.

I know it's a lot but I had it all together so I figured I'd give it to you guys all at once. If anyone wants scans I can scan the item, I might need help with posting the pics.

it looks like i have most of those promos i can tell you i have been looking for 8. Defiant envelope, gloves and letter. I'm pretty sure these go with the Birth of the Defiant U. book.

i have been looking for 10 years!!!! you dont have the book and i dont have the gloves or the letter.sounds like we could make a deal?

5. A four page b&w promo for the Good Guys. Features info on the casting call

i dont think i have this either.im interested in scans

Actually I do have the Birth of the Defiant U. book. It didn't come with the gloves when I got it. I really don't remember where or when I got the gloves. This stuff has all been stored away for a long time. I'll scan the Good Guys promo. I'll need a hand on posting the pics.

Jim, I scanned the pages and emailed them to you. It's nothing very exciting but still it's kinda interesting. If anyone else want's to see them I can email them or try and post them here.

Also does anyone know how many issues of The Word were put out?

Can you email the scans of the God Guys item to me? Some of the items you mention are already scanned and posted on the site.

The gloves are here:

The Newlin Co. Memos are here:
www.angelfire.com/comics/defiant/reading_room.html

The Broadway newsletters are here:

I have the color art of the Neal Adams Lorca, but it is too large to scan. Jim has posted the scan of he B&W piece you describe (and possibly some others) in another thread.

There is so much of the card product out there that I don't know where to start on posting it all. I hate cards so I keep putting it off.

Ok thanks for the info. I have a Newlin memo that you don't have. It's five pages long entitled Backgrounder: Jim Shooter: Defiant Dreamer Of The American Storytellers' Dream. Let me know if you would like a scan, I can probably get it sometime tonight.

Anything you don't see you can pass along. On some items like promo stuff, cards, and memo's I like to collect as much as possible to see what's available. That makes it easier to categorize everything, factor download times, determine page sizes, etc.

I just manually merged the mail from three hard drives into one computer. I'm going to try and gather my mail going back to 1998 and do the same. Files I couldn't access for the past 6 months are slowly coming back together.

You should get your card today.

I'm interested in seeing all of these, and I'm particular interested in seeing scans of the Good Guys promo. All of this stuff I've been trying to track down forever. Now I know that it really does exist.
