The Return of Valiant Universe commission (2004)

[Dinesh Shamdasani, the former CEO and Chief Creative Officer of Valiant Entertainment, note this piece: “Just found this in a drawer so sharing it for the first time! Have been saving this since 2004! Wanted to put out a ‘Valiant is back’ image right after acquiring Valiant so I reached out to the wonderful Bob Hall. After far too much fanboy prescribing on my part he built this beauty. Then I held it when I found myself in a 2 year trademark battle. Held it again when I realized I had no idea how to publish! Held it while we built a Jim Shooter led launch. Held it some more while we worked to pick up the pieces after Jim took the Gold Key deal we had negotiated across the street. Held it while we brought the 2012 team together. And then finally was ready…, but by then I had grown and realized that perhaps a graveyard highlighting that the characters had died wasn’t the best idea. And perhaps using the old Valiant logo wasn’t helpful with a fresh start. So back it went into a draw. I love it though. It reminds me of the small window in time, early on the Valiant journey, when I was in charge of Valiant but was still thinking like that 12 year old fan who was just excited to be living the dream. Feel very fortunate to have had that experience and to have the opportunity be on the Bad Idea journey now.”]

ah yes, matthew, robert, ryan, and john, the writers of the third (lesser known) new new testament, which was largely about girl problems and included some pretty sick guitar solos
