Eternal Warrior Charges Into Valiant Masters

Valiant Masters has some more feathers to add their already crowded cap. Valiant Masters: Eternal Warrior Vol. 1 – The Fist and Steel HC is a new hardcover collection re-presenting the legendary debut of Valiant's original immortal hero for the first time anywhere. The book presents never-before-collected works by Barry Windsor-Smith, Jim Shooter, Kevin VanHook, John Dixon and Yvel Guichet.

For a thousand generations, Gilad Anni-Padda has defended the innocent and dealt out justice as the Eternal Warrior – the undying champion of the Geomancers, the Earth’s chosen Fist and Steel. An unsung veteran of every war ever waged, Gilad’s hard-fought quest from the ancient world to modern day Los Angeles will force him to the forefront of the Valiant Universe – and into a brand new kind of battle alongside the likes of Bloodshot, X-O Manowar and his own long-lost brother, the one and only Armstrong.

Featuring the Eternal Warrior's original solo debut by Shooter and Dixon alongside Windsor-Smith's classic tales "Time & Space," "Space & Time" and "The Musketeers!", this masterfully illustrated epic of the original Valiant Universe collects Eternal Warrior (1992) #1-7 and Archer & Armstrong/Eternal Warrior (1992) #8.

The book will get a sneak peek in the Valiant Masters: 2013 FCBD Showcase Edition in comic shops everywhere for Free Comic Book Day this May 4th. Full press release below.
