SYNOPSIS:
Can the world withstand its first confrontation with a being of god-like proportions?
A Soviet cosmonaut – seemingly imbued with the powers of a god – has taken up residence in the Australian Outback. Some think him to be a savior…while others believe he will usher in a new Communist Age…
Now the rest of the world’s powers must decide for themselves – will the enigmatic DIVINITY offer his hand in friendship or will Earth’s heroes find themselves helpless against the wrath of the divine?

COLLECTOR'S NOTES:
In October of 2015, I screened multiple copies of this book for a good 9.8 candidate for a Signature Series submission at NYCC '15. However, things did not go exactly as planned, and the book recieved a grade of CGC 9.6 (I will send to CCS for a press and resubmission to CGC later this Spring).
I then contacted Stephen Jadie Coates (eBay seller hickorycanyon) who is a well-known Valiant Fan and Collector (his Divinity Set can be found HERE), and requested a CGC 9.8 copy (as we frequently buy/sell/trade with each other) which is presently included in this set.
An example of artist Trevor Hairsine's interior page art is pictured below.
