Valiant HC Presents First Complete X-O Manowar Origin

Valiant Entertainment LLC re-introduces one of the ‘90s most popular
and enduring heroes to comic audiences in the X-O Manowar: Birth HC
featuring stories and art by the equally stellar creative roster of Bob
Layton, Jim Shooter, Joe Quesada, Barry Windsor-Smith and Sean Chen.
Valiant’s inventive stories and characters by top creators generated
excitement among readers and high sales for comic retailers. This new
hardcover should appeal to the many fans who fondly recall X-O
Manowar’s heyday, and others longing to discover them today.
Collecting the entire origin story from X-O Manowar #0-#6 for the first
time, the digitally recolored and remastered special edition recounts
how enslaved Visigoth barbarian Aric Dacia defeats his alien masters by
stealing their X-O Manowar armor. Returning to Earth 1600 years later,
the primitive man now wields the ultimate weapon on a different kind of
“alien” world: his own. In addition to the origin written by Layton &
Shooter and illustrated by Windsor-Smith and Quesada, the collection
features an all-new story, “The Rise of Lydia,“ by Layton and a new
cover by Chen.
The 192-page, full-color X-O Manowar: Birth HC is slated to ship on
April 30 with an SRP of $24.95. Preorder it now at yikescomics.com
