Took me awhile time to get that far. ;D Definitely need a Fatale HC and a few more Nintendos. I've been in a Nintendo comic hunt lately to complete my stash. The 2 Diamond Unitys would be awesome to own but the ones are ebay are too pricey now. The "Miracle on Broadway" looks like it's an "Action Comics #1" at this point. I'd settle for story scans of that one. ;D The spanish Prudence and Caution is another I have in my "wants list." I hope the "Seven" vcs project pulls through with a surprise bonus of the sneak preview #2 issue. Maybe they'll add it in there as an extra....yea right! ;D *crossing fingers*

Cheesasaurus Rex is valiant and it is a promo... but is it a Shooter book? Why no Kid Kenny Hop in English or Spanish? Defiant1

The #2 is tough because you can't tell by the cover. Most retailers don't open the comic to even know if it's Spanish inside. Defiant1

Defiant1 That KFC book is next too. ;D All those obscure but cool ad books are must haves. Was Cheessasaurus a Valiant era production? I remember reading that JJ did the colors on it.

It was an early ad book. I remember looking in the grocery stores for product to see if I could send away for one. The problem is that I found out about in it a magazine article and I had no idea if the ad campaign was 6 months out of date or something still planned for the future. Defiant1

I think all the ones circulating came from the liquidation of the Valiant assets. I would assume there is a Cheesasaurus in Spanish, but to be honest, I don't remember. Defiant1

I think I might have scored a few copies of the KFC english version. I'll find out later this week for sure. I did receive today a Prudence/Caution #2 in Spanish in the mail. Pretty cool. Even the letter column is translated.

Congrats. With me trying to downsize my collection, it'd be counterproductive for me to be looking for the KFC books. I can't imagine the story being too compelling. More of a taste of history... a novelty.

Yea, it looks like a cool quirky comic to own anyway. It'll match my Bongo and Nintendo stash. I want to read the credits inside there to see which Valiant people drew it. I might get more than one so if you need one I might be getting a couple spares. (not sure if it's the english or spanish version yet till the package arrives. (hoping for both) I picked up a couple of the Marvel issues that were on the Illustrated Media site's portfolio section too. I'm curious to find out about the "F-Zero" artwork they have posted on there.

Other priorities. Defiant1

Cool, I 'll let you know when it arrives. I'm expecting it probably in a week so i'll find out if it's either the english or spanish version too. ;D Now if only it were this easy for the Cheese Rex book....

I'm also missing KFC in english. As for Cheesasaurus I have one in english (the one above) and one in spanish with different contents. There is no indicia in the english one (only (c) 1992), while the other one has indicia that states it is produced by Voyager (in 1993, indicia written in english). KFC and Theo (a similar book about spaghetti) also mention Voyager. Somewhere I also have some script notes for a spanish Cheesasaurus, not sure which of the two. I would assume both exist in both languages. /Magnus PS, how about the Mallard Nintendo hardcovers? How rare are they?

Great pics up there Magnus! So that makes 3 rare Voyager promo food books now. I definitely would like to go after those! That Cheesasaurus Rex Spanish cover looks awesome too. The "airship" cover looks even better than the other cover! And the Spaghetti O's comic looks cool. Well, I did get my package today (woo-hoo!) and in there were 3 KFCs and they're the English versions. (now I need the Spanish version...) They are really thin comics and the short story is only a few pages. The paper quality feels a bit rough and scratchy. It's not as thin as newspaper page but real thin and scruffy. I'm surprised at how mint these arrived given the age and that it's a promo book. No creases on the spines either. *phew!* Magnus, do you have a spare of the Spanish KFC or the Spaghetti O's book? ;D Great score up there. "Queso- Buum!!" ;D I've never seen the Mallard Nintendo variants before...

Magnus, do you have a spare of the Spanish KFC or the Spaghetti O's book? No spares (and I would like to have them in better grade). If you're thinking about a trade - would have been nice, but I am only looking at purchasing books. /Magnus

I don't remember what mine are. I bought them at a toy store. I discovered them by accident. When Joe Petrilak started his Valiant site, I sent scans of those first because I thought he'd get a kick out of having scans of everything. He must have been offended because he quit writing. I thought he was pretty d**n rude over the whole thing. I'd been asking him what size scans he needed and he couldn't tell me. My dad had a top of the line HP scanner that had cost him $1000. I could have given him any quality scan he wanted. Regardless, I was still trying to complete the Nintendo stuff at that stage. I'm not as interested in being a completionist now.

I'm working on some leads for some Cheese Rex books from some other sellers. The Spaghetti O's comic looks like the toughest out of the 3 promo books now....cool cover! The giant "O" in the shoe looks hilarious.... Hey Magnus, How many pages is in the "Adventures of TheO" book? Got any story scans? ;D I don't think i've seen what the "Mallard" Nintendo variants look like. Searching now...

Also looking forward to the PM. The TheO book is 16 pages including covers. The Mallard books are distinguished by the logo on the spine.
/Magnus
PS, Dave, I doubt you offended Joe P. He is too literal for that (more than a personality trait). I dare also say he was not able to understand how his lack of follow-through appeared to you.

I never understood Joe or his motivations. I lost interest in trying. I'm aware of the Mallard variants. I just don't know what I have.

I was finally able to get 2 Cheesasaurus Rex books and the spaghetti book. ;D I got the english versions of Cheese Rex and there's actually 2 different issues for the title. The pic up there with the "airship cover" looks to actually be issue 2 (dated 1993) and with a different story from the first Cheesasaurus comic. The english version has a different color in the title logo from spanish "airship" cover. The spaghetti book is pretty cool too. Great coloring. These comics are so thin and fragile. Kinda like tracing paper....
