Legendary comic book editor Jim Shooter has written a new story for the upcoming hardcover, Harbinger: The Beginning published by Valiant Entertainment, collecting the Harbinger origin story (Harbinger issues #0-#7) for the first time.  Shooter's new story, which will be penciled by Bob Hall, is 'The Origin of Harada,' which adds a new dimension to one of the key characters in the Valiant universe.

All the art in the Harbinger: The Beginning hardcover, which will be published on August 29th, has been digitally colored and re-mastered on computer.  Over 5 million comics featuring the Harbinger team of superheroes were sold during the 1990s, and the first issue of Harbinger, which Wizard proclaimed the 'Collectible of the Decade,' featured art by a teenage David Lapham (Stray Bullets).
