"I do have the originals, and the art is indeed lovely. DC put their best people on toy adaptations back then: Gil Kane and Wally Wood on Captain Action, and Alex Toth on Hot Wheels."

- Cap, a slight correction to your "Reprint Wishes" in CBG #1680. It was the Armorines that wore "Iron Man-type armor." The bodies of the H.A.R.D. Corps members were implanted with technology that would allow them to utilize one Harbinger power (such as strength or invulnerability) at a time. H.A.R.D. Corps #4 was my first Valiant book.
