 Hi everyone, this is Chichou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today is January 3rd, 2021, and we're going to do a reading of Solar Manatee Adam. Now, this is the first print. Okay. And it's a black cover. It's from Valiant Comics from 1992. And it's got nice sheen, huh, guys? Right? From 1992. Okay. And it's the first appearance of the Eternal Warrior and the Geomancer. Right? An important book. And as far as I'm concerned, and many people are concerned, Solar Manatee Adam from Valiant, from the first launch of Valiant, number one to ten is considered to be one of the greatest comic book stories ever told. Okay. And this comic book should have two stories in it. One is a continuing story for Solar that happened. And the second part of the story is Solar Manatee Adam Alpha and Omega, which is sort of a 10 issue backup story that was told in Solar Manatee Adam. And what we're going to do by the way, because this first issue is a first print, and it's in really good condition. And these are really hard to find in really good condition. And I don't have, I think I have two copies of this, maybe. Right? And I really don't want to damage this, this baby up. I got it in Mylar. So this book is at least the 9.6. Right? So I really don't want to damage this up. Even a 9.4. I just, you know, it's, it's a very important book. And I do have the second prints of these. And I have a couple of second prints, one that I bought when the book first came out. And you know, it's a second print. It's got the Roman numeral two here. So I bought this one when it first came out. Right? This is second print as well. Right? But this one we ended up buying at a recent haul with a whole bunch of other comic books. So what we're going to do, because this one's more damaged up here, we're going to read this one. Okay. And it should be complete. I hope it's complete anyway. If it's not, we'll crack open the second print that I have. Right? But what we're going to do is read this book. And this book is written by Jim Shooter. Okay. The main story arc is written by Jim Shooter. The art is by Don Pearl, Stan Drake, John Dixon. Okay. And the coloring is Mike Cavallero. Okay. The backup story, which is Alpha Omega. The story is Jim Shooter, Bob Layton. The pencils is Barry Windsor Smith. And the cover is done by Barry Windsor Smith as well, which is all black. It's the logo. Right? So cover is Barry Windsor Smith. And he's got this little signature here. The inks is done by Bob Layton. And the coloring is done by Janet Jackson. And Janet Jackson did a lot of coloring for Valiant Comics. And her coloring was amazing, really, really stood out from that period. Okay. So let me put these guys here, the tape, so they don't snag the comic. Let's bring this out. Now, as far as grade goes, because of this pretty serious dent in there, you know, you would give this like a 7.5 maybe, maybe higher. But the rest of it is pretty good. Maybe an 8.5? Let's see. And it was a great hall. It was a huge hall that we had. And this was one of the comics in it. And I was very happy to have this, right? Fantastic, fantastic. We're just going to get straight into the reading gang. And it doesn't look like this book was even... Well, other than this, unfortunately about this, otherwise the grade would be like a 9 or something. Ah, there's a little bit of, no, that's just a little scuff mark or a little bit. Nice, nice, nice. This is beautiful. Very, very beautiful. And I don't remember not having any writing here, a little write up. Valiant Comics usually put the write up at the back here. Okay. The little disclaimers that they usually had. Did they have it? No. Okay. Let's go from the beginning. And this should be... Oh, here's a little write up on it. Let's read the fine print here again. Okay. Because we end up using, reading the fine prints. So let's read this. And then we'll get into the story. So this is the first story on it, right? Solar Emanity Atom Volume 1, Number 10, June 1992, ISBN 10563938, published by Valiant, a division of Voyager Communication Incorporated, Steve J. Masarkey, Secretary, Office of Publication, 275 17th Avenue, New York, New York, 1-0-0-0-1, Copyright 1992, Voyager Communication Incorporated, Solar Emanity Atom, and all other characters herein and the distinctive likeliness, oops, likeliness, thereof, which originally appeared in publication, originally published by Western Publishing Inc., are a trademark of Western Publishing Inc., all other characters herein, and the distinctive likeliness thereof, are trademark of Voyager Communications Inc., all rights reserved, printed in the USA, no similarity between any of the names, characters, persons, and or institutions in this magazine with those of any persons living or dead, or any institution is intended and any such similarity may exist is purely coincidental, second printing. And Solar Emanity Atom along with Solar Emanity Atom, along with Magnus Robotfighter and Torok, and Dr. Mirage I believe, they were originally gold key comic books that were published in the early 1960s really. I believe Magnus might have been late 1950s as well but I think it was early 1960s and what happened was valiant comics, Voyager Communication, with Jim Shooter, they licensed the rights for Solar and Magnus and Torok and Magnus was the first superhero comic book that valiant comics put out with Solar being like a month behind, month or two behind. So Magnus and Solar were the first two superhero comic books that valiant comics put out and valiant comics introduced their first original character okay superhero character in Magnus Robotfighter number five with Rye, with Magnus Robotfighter number five and the backup story with Rye number one and Rye was really the original valiant created superhero character they introduced and we've done a reading of that comic okay with the valiant relaunch there was a lot of people that were hoping that Solar and Magnus and Torok would be part of that universe but valiant lost the rights to those to publish to use those characters and it reverted back to the original copyright orders and they gave the rights to Dynamite I believe was publishing some of the comic books and I believe another company got involved as well they were publishing Solar and Magnus comic books and Torok as well but I believe it was Dynamite that got the rights for it okay aside from that gang there should be two stories here let's make sure there is I'm just gonna flip this because I don't want to give any spoilers away and here's the alpha and omega story arc okay the final problem from Alpha and Magnus has been published in 10 sections yeah so let's do this reading gang Solar, man of the atom, the man who killed the world, Brooklyn, New York, Tuesday, February 19th, 1985 public school number 115 you aren't much what you'll do come pop huh me the kid says very unique coloring style art style to valiant comics from the 1990s beautiful work and then we'll zoom in and read the text let's take a look

mchenry home March 1st 1986 so the principal says Jeffrey can rejoin his class on Monday he did so well on the test gee he used to struggle with school not anymore the books are full of ignorance but they tell me the answers the teachers want hey mom your ring is calling you hear it oh honey i think it came off while i was doing dishes this morning it's probably in the pipe under the sink don't

in the morning the parents don't know what's going on 9 10 a.m they're sitting in the doctor's office anxiety attacks aren't unusual in children who have suffered an emotional trauma like a kidnapping i told you i wasn't kidnapped i went walk walk about with my uncle buck doctor his great uncle buck disappeared in 1912 when he was 50 years old yes well i'm sure it's just a it's just a phase the

now what make henry settle down oh wow flip the two that we're talking about him is freaking out kings county hospital psychiatric department april 17 1991 11 o 4 a.m and i think the key is to get him to open up about what happened to him during the abduction he's never told us anything doctor the parents say except that nonsense about being with uncle buck it must have been horrible we should have done something sooner the minute he started talking about hearing voices the mother says near boulevard missouri march 31st 1992 harbinger foundation this is the harbinger foundation building it's uh just a side note it's one of the key institutions in the valiant universe connected with the harbinger books sergeant abrams is that you joe uh nicolati right i haven't seen you since khe sa kanasa what are you what are you doing here i work here i'm the head trainer for the egg breakers congratulations the guy in the suit says is that them on the track yes sir swallow ghost show this man what

and mr herrata is the owner of the harbinger foundation okay and he made his first appearance in solar man of the atom number 10 so i'm just filling in little gaps here and there without giving too much spoilers right the captain continues mr herrata sending them after dr solar that's probably why he wants to see me whoop got ya hey how did you know i was behind you the kid appears he's all

accident and so were you i told you before for some reason you're repressing your true nature simulating human psychology i do that myself sometimes and solar transforms itself to human form right pierce pierce i came here to warn you that people like us can cause a lot of trouble it's important to keep all the secret or what you'll kill me like you killed my baby pierce says your baby had power like ours but no ability to control or repress she killed scores of innocent people pierce when she ran out of energy i couldn't save her pierce don't you see powers like ours is dangerous we

just pure energy i did my best to reason with with her john but she just sat there and stared it was a big mistake letting pierce find out about you phil she was inside the containment with me when this started with when this all started she must have known all along he says but if she hasn't but if she hadn't gotten pregnant if she hadn't given birth to an infant infant terrible maybe she would have kept repressing her knowledge the way she's repressing her power maybe but you never should have let her see see you use your power as phil salenski you have the red suit for a reason remember you're right he says solar just revealed his identity to pierce look i don't mean to come down on you phil but you know from first hand experience how much trouble you can cause if people find out about you i'm worried about the trouble trouble pierce might cause all by herself if she ever releases all that pent up power and rage solar replies here's jeff nursing station kings county hospital

there having dinner the lady says this wine is this wine is very nice not that i'm an expert i rarely drink is something wrong fill no i just had to have that deja vu feeling it had it happens to me all the time gail since you've seen me do some fantastic things i'm sure you have some questions in your mind about me well what is it like being superman gail says and this is solar by the way and gail is his sort of girlfriend i believe if i recall correctly it's more exciting than i like actually solar says or phil when he's not walking around the solar solar man at the atom alpha and omega part 10 the man who killed the world continues after the special insert let's read this let's read this and by the way gang i'm going to give you a little one more little tangent jeff the geomancer uh the relaunch of valiant they released four issue miniseries at the same time they were doing book of death uh a death of harbinger and uh basically they released 12 issues four issues of book of death four issues of book of death harbinger exo solar not solar um ninja and uh bloodshot and they released four issues called ledgers legends of the geomancer okay legends of the geomancer right which tells the origin and this is the second relaunch of valiant comics in 2012 right so 20 years after the fact they released a four issue story arc which is called legends of the geomancer which was a special offering when people when retailers order a certain number of books of book of death and stuff like this and valiant comics said that we're never going to release reprint those issues again and we did a reading of four all four of those issues which gets into the origin of gilad eternal warrior right gets gets into the origin of eternal warrior and the geomancer and eternal warriors brothers and it is a fantastic read and we ended up reading the full four issues if you're interested in knowing what this is all about okay it's a reimagination of it but it stays true to the original story arc okay let's continue let's just read this little insert since we're having a break solar manatee atom the origin of solar solar manatee atom was conceived by bob latin and jim shooter it was developed by developed by writer jim shooter and pencils artist storytelling by barry windsor smith inked by bob latin colored by janet jackson and lettered by jade each of the first 10 issues of solar manatee atom will contain a free pullout insert like the one following this page i guess we don't have that here okay so that part is missing looks like it like the one following this page presenting one chapter of the origin plus a section of the largest single comic panel ever created this panel measuring a huge 26 and a half inches by 51 and a quarter inches fully assembled depicts the incredible climax of alpha and omega in both form and substance this story is unique an event that will make an inc in in the in the liable mark in the history of the comic medium a milestone in the new era of excellence introduced by valiant in previous chapters dr philip salensky was transformed by thermal nuclear accident into a godlike godlike being of pure energy with the loss of his humanity however came a deep and compelling awareness of the value of human human things his godlike nature drove him to become a force in the world but he also found himself driven to regain the humanity he had abandoned he fell in love ultimately he has been forced to make difficult choices now he must face the grim consequences of the choices he made okay now is the inserts we're going to pause this here we're going to crack open the second print that i have here okay and let's see if the insert is in this that they're talking about i hope that's okay gang we're doing a little pause at the story i just want to make sure this isn't the insert let's check it out and we might do a comparison with the the first print i hope you like the sound of the rain and this is an unread copy by the way i can't remember which issue i've read let's take a look it's not here either i think this is the insert this is it but what we'll end up doing we're going to crack open the first print just to make sure there's no little insert valiant comics used to do this they put the inserts in there just a little thing they used to put in right if not we're just going to continue on with the reading we must do this is these readings are also part of doing a historical look at things right this guy i would grade at uh like that's the black is having a hard time focusing on this let's move this away and see let's see if this is gonna focus so the grade on this one is probably a 9.4 9 point wow let's see yeah maybe a 9.4 9.2 okay cool so there's no extra insert in this either so this second print is complete yeah so let's do this let's continue reading this apologies for the tangent but i have to make sure so let's see what we got here continues after the special insert so we're going to read which is weird they don't say pause we're going to start reading this one to see if it's a continuation of the story so this is a side story i believe that we're about to get into let's read this possibly or it could be the last one it could be continuation okay once more from the top uh gail could you stand to see me just for 10 minutes nah gail look i'm sorry about that uh blah so this is definitely not continuing from this okay from here so right now we're reading a special which goes into here okay we're not going to give any spoilers we're just going to keep on reading so this is a different time zone timeline let's read that again okay once more from the top uh gail could you stand to see me just for 10 minutes nah gail look i'm sorry about that i blah so he's thinking to himself solar trying to talk to gail better just go ahead and call before i talk myself out of it so this is gail sitting in a hotel room looks like it hello phil oh god it's good to hear your voice again busy no i was just writing a letter how are you gail says i'm fine gail i'm sorry that i i mean could you stand to see me for a minute that would be wonderful it's been three months i've missed you so much gail says good great i'm across the street i'll be right there solar replies phil i'm under surveillance maybe you shouldn't phil phil he hung or he just dropped a phone he's not hearing her how did i find you i borrowed i stole the letter you wrote out of your mother's mail i'm sorry i know it was wrong but gail i was desperate i hope you'll forgive me i had to see you again please understand turbine noise here's the noise up there's coming right at me this will never work erica selenski says solar inferno in human form your little field generators and lasers might as well be colored lights i'll make it work dobson we're locked on dr pierce so this is the the lady that solar went into the hospital to talk to over here that's her right there so she's got a sort of a her group of people she's working with right we're locked on dr pierce that's close enough fire and that's one thing with the early valley of comics they didn't really do sound effects which was sort of cool left it to your imagination solar is being hit god him dr pierce stay with it to dto they're hurting solar probably one of the few times the solar has been hurt pierce can only be pierce solar realizes what's going on we're killing him colored lights uh dobson i told you anything can be done it's all a matter of moving energy she says he's in serious pain what's the matter dobson squeamish stop stop this now sir selenski is coming towards us dr pierce dr pierce dr pierce do something miss nordham you'll have to come with us what's going on out there what are you doing to him gal says she's solar's girlfriend love really the one person that solar loves outside air's getting hot dr pierce all all my temp indicators are pegged losing oil pressure hold your position pilot my gauges say he's losing losing incorporation stay on him fill i never wanted to come to this i'm sorry so this guy must have been solar's friend right remember this is part 10 of a story arc we're reading another few seconds this bird's going down the pilot says hold your position keep firing pierce says for the love of god erica he's just being drained that's where solar was focusing on that one he's gone dead are you sure dobson take a look at the instruments no reading at all that was before read him selenski's dead let's pack up pack up the murder weapon and go home shall we i'd like to i'd like to be sicken up sicken private he was a friend he says he was a monster pierce says then i'm supo surprise you two didn't hit it off erica now i insist that you land immediately the witch hunt is over dr pierce you're picking up a massive energy flux at the edge they're picking up a massive energy flux at the edge it's him it's him you knew he was manipulating our readings didn't you dobson well he's not getting away after him pilot hurry pierce says is the energy signature oh is that a nuclear reactor right there oh my it's beautiful beautiful for god what was like to feel tired solar says that's just drifting it'd be so easy to close my eyes and sleep wish i could sleep he says but i have to see gale again have to go into the nuclear site starving come on open he needs the radiation oh wow look at that free neutrons he's gone into space like so fast look at that what's he thinking need more energy lots more more than pierce could possibly move this should be far enough away should be able to open a wormhole without the earth being sucked in open a wormhole look at that and i believe this is the insert that you put together with all the 10 pages from solar manatee adam 1 to 10 that makes a gigantic picture and take a look at this there's people flying into the wormhole or flying out of it who are they perfect a name nameless star oh he just opened up a wormhole went to another solar system perfect a nameless star just pure energy nobody's using it no one will miss it all the energy from the star let's just suck the star dry if there was no god before i'm coming gale i'll be right there and nothing's going to stand between us this time authors are still circling and get that civilian aircraft out of this area one of the pilots or commanders and that look after says the red guy becomes solar why did you bring me here you people are using me as bait aren't you i don't know miss the agent says dr pierce i saw it we know where he's going going move in and lock on who's out there the agent pulls out a gun oh he's coming through the check this out he's coming through the switch there yes i am solar sass i'll kill you if you don't leave now yes yes i'll go i'll go the agent says gale is something wrong you don't look very happy to see me phil i can't see you the lights oh he just realizes how bright he is there better yes but you better get away from here they're trying to trap you everything's okay gale solar sass and i'm never leaving you again oh phil i love you they're so happy he's like butt naked he's just kissing him he's kissing him all over that's a beautiful panel what an embrace what a kiss we'll go away start a new life somewhere i'll have so much power now they won't dare trouble us no phil they'll never stop trying to kill you i i'd be your i'd be your achilles heel they'll use me to get to get at you i couldn't bear it or bear that gale says dr pierce before we lock on check out these ratings on your instruments radiation energy levels what is it the scientist says selenski is way off the scale all of them i'm a good soldier ma'am i'll do as ordered but are you sure you want to risk getting him mad gale if you don't come with me they'll keep you prisoner and they'll use you against me anyway please solar says i'll go with you i'll go with you gale says i want to be with you no matter what phil suddenly i don't feel so well dizzy the room's spinning phil what's happening to me i'm killing you radiation's brimming over it's bad as bad as it can be solar's thinking what's he doing shifting to mass all that energy draw it in before like before zero radiation hurry oh so he's emitting massive radiation he's pure energy so he's converting his energy into mass what's he doing shifting to mass all that energy that's what pierce says oh look at this the pilot's head just exploded i think look at that and this guy is in trouble too pierce is not she's energy as well no gales

series the story entitled no place like home which appeared in issue number one begins shortly after your events of alpha and omega the cover of this issue is the symbolic uh bridge between the two stories the utter blackness experienced by selenski as he destroyed his own world and entered a new one hours wow so this is panel is in tribute to alpha and omega which is what is happening here this

around that's the real trouble a minute ago i swore i never doubt you again but another one like him hey that's strange all of a sudden there's no ambient energy flow it's as if someone dropped a six foot thick lead roof over us yeah i feel something strange too like the voice of the world is muffled there's no wind either i'm going to go take a look hmm the beach umbrella gilad knows what's going on maybe i think he does amazing there's a spacetime shear plane walling in the area how can that be solar says look at that it's like a box like a cube right and here's a cube here right they just dropped a three-dimensional cube on them we seem to be enclosed in a big impenetrable impenetrable box it lets a little light pass through and not much else you guys wouldn't know anything about that would you gilad yes i know about it he says oh i see i bet you know a man named harada gilad just a guess haha and that's the egg breakers coming up against solar written by gymshooter pencils david d perlin inker stan drake and john dixon with paul ato coloris mike cavallero letter or joe al albello editor bob latin and that's for the main story the other one was uh the alpha and omega was gymshooter bob latin berry windsor smith uh and janet jackson and this is eternal warrior number 11 which is the second appearance i believe it should be the second appearance of eternal warrior right awesome valiant we're building a universe and they weren't kidding and then you had gymshooter writing uh you know just a little message to people should we read this let's read this we need some advice from you collectors here's the situation dealers are asking us to reprint harbinger number one xo madam war number one and shadow one number one we're told that there is so much demand for these issues and back issue prices are so high that the many val new valiant readers can't find copies or can't afford them if they do find them people simply want to read the read those comics so what do we do here are two choices a reprint those issues as they originally appeared with only a small second edition no notation on the cover b reprint those issues with new covers so that they are easily distinguishable from the originals if people want to read our books we'd like to make them available however we don't want to do it in a way that damages the value of the original first issues because many people out there are care about the value of comics as collectibles we also don't want anyone to think we're pulling a scan trying to make people buy the same book twice by printing a second version drop me a line and tell me what you think we should do a or b and something else entirely and now a special announcement from valiant sales tweezers john hearts right and right now there's a lot of second printings of titles done in the 90s and pre 90s with just putting a second print like this is a second printing has the same cover except the number two right has a second printing just noted here right second printing but modern age comics more recent comics they're putting out brand new covers right and this one doesn't have a bar code on it but with the bar code the last number if you see a two a one means a first print in general a two means a second print three means a third print four means a fourth print right so on bar codes of modern age comics recent day comics this is considered modern but recent day comics the last number in the bar code tells you what print it is right and that's a fantastic rate i hope you guys liked it and this is unity which unity begins a couple of issues after this issue finishes up right two or three issues and unity began and this was a huge event ran for 18 issues and it's considered to be one of the greatest crossovers in comic book history and well worth the read and very much i'm giving a little bit of history very much related to two pierce the this lady right here right dr pierce and related to solar and the whole valiant universe okay and that's solar manatee out of number 10 a very very important key issue
