X-O Database

Plot

The X-O Database edition, published in 1993, was originally bagged with the X-O Manowar Retribution trade paperback. Because it was available in no other way, the print run for this item was much lower than any other of the early Valiant issues.

The X-O Database is comic-sized with 16 full-color pages including two cel transparencies showing details of the inner working of the X-O armored suit together with a complete history and stats.
