FROM THE VALIANT VAULTS! This is an original Pin Up of N.I.O. used to promote the mini-series published by Valiant/Acclaim Comics in 1999. This piece is penciled by Joe St.Pierre and inked by Don Hillsman 2 and Joe
 
Created by me, Joe St.Pierre, and Shon Bury, N.I.O. is one of the most rare series Valiant/Acclaim has ever published. You think the original RAI #3 and #4 issues are rare, the print runs on N.I.O were ONE TENTH of that!
 
Originally proposed as a reimagining of RAI for the VH2 Universe, the project quickly evolved its own identity and unique characters, with a Manga Anime influence. This ONE OF A KIND Pin-Up piece depicts NIO and her "Little Brother" the cyber hacker Jimmu!
 
This piece was produced for the Wizard World Website to help promote the series. A NICE piece of Valiant history!!
 
The page is in very fine condition, still bright white. Some slight handling along the outer edges. Soft folding across the piece about 4” from the bottom, more noticeable on the back. The book cover "Robotics for Dummies" is a vellum patch, pasted on. The art is on official Acclaim Comics bristol board, and measures roughly 11" x 17."
 
It will be signed by me and can be personalized upon request.
