I only knew him through his work and one email conversation, but that was enough to know him, like him and respect him as a person. He will be missed.

- Acclaim Comics
- I very highly recommend checking out the Valiant Fan Club and Acclaim Ink. They are zines, and can now also be found as a very beautiful web site. Joe has also put up his original Valiant art collection for display.
You can also go straight to the Valiant Fan Club and there is also some nice reading on a purely experimental page that Joe made earlier.
Jmpet@aol.comThe Valiant Fan Club is a printed newsletter and a web site with nice articles about Valiant and some rewarding contests. It is published once a month and has just passed its one-year anniversery now. The editor XXX XXXXXXXX has close contacts with, and the full support of, the Valiant staff.

- Acclaim's Turok game
- Magnus Robot Fighter
- The Magnus of comics.
- Dr. Will Magnus
- From DC. Creator of the Metal-men. Magnus Robot Creator? Once refered to as a robot himself.
- Erik Magnus Lehnsherr
- From Marvel. The great Magneto. For a period only calling himself Magnus. The deadliest of all Mutants. During Amalgam, DC's and Marvel's Magnuses will be brothers.
- Charlemagne
- From Defiant. French name for Carolus Magnus or Charles the Great. Mystically strong character. Champion of Life.
- Physics of the Valiant Universe
- Creation of Lost Land
- Chaos Effect Omega. Geoff is taken to the creation of Lost Land. Despite already having been there he makes some rather cryptical statements. It is also weird that Geoff, Archer & Armstrong spend all these years in Lost Land before Unity and then do nothing to help themselves in the fighting.
- The Real World
- King Khalid Airport
- Eternal Warrior 20. The portrayal of the women at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh is extremely unrealistic.
- Groznia
- Eternal Warrior 41. Why not call it by its real name?
- Buying Estonia
- The idea of Estonia selling out after finally getting their freedom from the USSR is preposterous - and one boat-load of gold is not worth that much (okay, I wouldn't mind it, but compare it to the aid Estonia is receiving from all around the world). HARD Corps ??
- Non existing mountain?
- Ninjak ?? Bergafjallet means Mountainmountain. Does that really exist?
- Going to Tibet
- Ladakh is in India.
- Unified Yemen
- Ninjak ?? takes place at the British embassy in Aden, but since the unification (the threat to which this issue was about), the embassy was in Sanaa. I guess the previous embassy in Aden had become a consulate?
- Continuity errors and out-of-character mistakes
- Spider Aliens not respecting forest
- HARD Corps 7. The spider aliens are killing lots of trees when they could have fought the H.A.R.D.Corps in other ways.
- Freewills well known too early
- In Magnus 20 freewills are well known and in Vintage Magnus 1 and even Magnus 1 that take place later they are not as well known.
- Immortal Enemy
- The Immortal Enemy's method for moving from body to body has changed back and forth over history.
- Nettie retcon
- In Shadowman 0 and other places it is claimed that Master Darque was aware that Jack was to receive the spirit, but in Shadowman 7 & 8 he learned about Jack for the first time. In Shadowman 0 Master Darque also uses fire much too early but that can be explained as a mistelling by Armstrong.
- Aric and German
- In X-O 1 Aric recognices modern German as related to his language, but in X-O 41 he doesn't recognice it at all.
- Penguins
- Little known facts 1 claimed that Solar had killed of most penguins, but in X-O 18 it is said that the crater is only 168 km and in the middle of Antarctica. Either the impact on the penguin population must have been insignificant or the stated size is severely underestimated (or both).
- X-O 48
- This whole issue is a blunder.
- Typos and other simple mistakes
- Spike-glove
- In Eternal Warrior 45 his glove is shown on the left hand once.
- Flamingo or Faith?
- Harbinger 9 & Magnus 16. The same scene is colored differently in these two comics so that Flamingo and Faith trade places.
- Mac or Mack
- Timewalker 1. Mac is spelled Mack.
- Wrong capture
- A capture box at the end of Timewalker 2 says it's 1998, but it's 2033.
- Mirror image not reversed
- Timewalker 14. Mirror image in beer glass is not reversed.
- In Magnus 44, Armstrong refers to Volvo.
- Ninjak 11 starts in Sweden.
- In Ninjak 15? the Sweden-manufactured Carl Gustav is used.
- The Spider Aliens had a base in Halmstad.
- There is also a reference to Dannemora in Turok. I assume that refers to Dannemora in USA, but it sounds as if both places are equally funny.
- In Turok 13 Captain Red refers to a Swedish gull.
- In an early X-O Manowar, Ken thinks that Visigoths are from Sweden.
- In Magnus 25 it is indicated the Magnus' mysteriously white boots (originally due to a misunderstanding between XXXX XXXXXXX and an unknown colorist) could be inspired by XXXXX XXXXXXX's white boots when singing "These boots are made for walking". (XXXX XXXXXXXXX)
- In Rai and the Future Force ?? the religious order nicknamed the Archies have mixed up their mantras with a song by the Archies. (XXXX XXXXXX)
