A quick check of Wikipedia says that it's Random House.<BR/><BR/>I <I>know</I> that Dark Horse has been publishing expensive hardcover reprints of the early 60's Magnus and Solar stuff. $50 a pop is too much for me these days, but I'm told that they're a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>And just to make things stupid-nerdy - Solar, Magnus and Turok (who is my favorite of the old Dell/Gold Key/Western bunch) are all owned by Random House, but the rest of the Valiant/Acclaim stuff is owned by some new outfit that bought up the Valiant stuff after Acclaim went bankrupt a few years back. Likely we'll never see another crossover between Rai and Magnus. If the new group even brings Rai back - Rai was never the seller of video game tie-ins that Turok was.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060430253113856206noreply@blogger.com
