X-O Manowar Preview

This 1996 one-shot from Acclaim Comics (then-owner of the Valiant library) reintroduced the armored warrior Aric of Dacia with a sharp, modernized edge. Written by Brian Augustyn and Mark Waid with art by Sean Chen, the preview served as a sleek, single-issue launchpad for the character's new ongoing series. It stands as a compact, transitional artifact from a pivotal moment in Valiant's history.
