	Valiant Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Valiant Universe was created by Solar as the result of his attempt to recreate his universe after he accidentally destroyed it, as explained in the "Alpha and Omega" storyline of Solar 1-10.
		It wasn't as interconnected as the Valiant Universe.
		Valiant's approach to science fiction ignored the cliche of a dystopic or apocalyptic, instead focusing on the idea that man would continue to make his world more habitable and thereby strive towards a Utopic future world complete with a robotic workforce.

	Valiant: The Rise and Fall of an Empire
		With their readership at terribly low levels, Valiant realized that they were no longer a player in the comic wars and decided to end the legacy they started only a few years earlier.
		Valiant fans have lost everything which was their world, but there is one place where we can continue to indulge our need for the old stories.
		No, Valiant was no regular company, rather a company which obtained it's fans from hard work and dedication to the quality of their comics.

	Valiant/Acclaim
		Valiant Comics' writers tried to emphasize the human aspect of super-powers, as well as how the actions of various super-powered individuals affected average human beings.
		From the beginning, all Valiant Comics titles could be divided into two groups - titles that were set in the late 1990s and titles that were set in the 41st century (beginning with 4000 A.D.)The heroes from the present weren't aware of the heroes of the future (and vice-versa) until the Unity conflict.
		In 1996, Fabian Nicieza, a former editor and writer from Marvel Comics, was hired as senior vice-president and editor-in-chief and was given the task of revamping the Valiant Comics properties.

	The ten most important comic books of the 1990s
		VALIANT did what Image was supposed to do: Create a roster of completely original characters under a shared universe, and they succeeded with both style and swagger.
		The comic had one of the biggest marketing campaigns in comics history: Marvel was aiming to break records, and break records they did.
		Image comics is the creator-owned start-up founded by the seven, now famous and, in some cases infamous, superstar artists of the comics world.

		Many comic book collectors and investors purchased multiple copies of 1993 Valiant titles, but were unable to obtain more than a few of the 1991-92 Valiant issues due to smaller print runs compared to other comic books of that time.
		By mid-1994, many of the collectors and investors who flocked to the comic book scene in 1992 were leaving, hoping to liquidate their inventories — to cut their losses in most cases — and a flood of recent comic books perceived as “valuable” by monthly price guides were unloaded upon the secondary market.
		For Valiant comic books, this meant that recent Valiant comics purchased for $2.25 to $3.95 each were becoming available for “bargain bin prices”, often $1.00, $0.50, or even less.

	Sequart.com Articles: The VALIANT Comics F.A.Q.
		VALIANT (all caps, all the time) Comics is the independent comic book publisher started in the early 1990s by a group of ex-Marvel Comics employees who were sick of the way Marvel and the comic industry in general were producing comics, and VALIANT was determined to do them better.
		Valiant was reinventing comics and ushering Marvel out the door the same way Marvel had ushered DC out in the 1960s when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were creating the Marvel icons.
		Just as Marvel reinvented the way comics were told, creating new types of characters and plots that the reader could relate to (no super-powered aliens from another world or millionaire playboy vigilantes of the night), VALIANT was now changing all the rules and setting new standards of quality and storytelling.

		Comic books were bad enough, but reading comic books about games could be likened to brushing one's teeth with icing sugar.
		The Comic System was published by Valiant Comics, which was sold to Acclaim in 1994, so the company is now dead twice over.
		The comics were widely distributed and could be found in bookshops and variety stores, usually located beneath the brown-bagged pornography for ease of father-son outings.

	Talent Pool 21 - Jim Shooter (June 2000)
		The lore of comics - and by this I mean stories not just in the books themselves, but also tales about the people who make them appear on the shelves - includes a number of heroes, a number of hacks, and the occasional villain.
		The epithet "Nixon of Comics" sometimes attaches to him, reflecting the kind of dislike Shooter enjoys among a broad segment of comics fandom.
		For whatever shortcomings Valiant Comics had, though, it enjoyed a number of eminent talents (including the likes of Barry Windsor-Smith) and still, even in its aftermath, retains a considerable loyalty among the die-hard fans it created in its days as one of the "Big Four" comics publishers.

	Happy Birthday, Image Comics
		Comics are just starting to reach an all-time high in terms of sales and overall market value.
		All of my comics were purchased from book stores or the newsstand, and my collection consisted almost entirely of Marvel and DC titles.
		And most importantly, they proved that Marvel and DC Comics need not be the be all and end all for comics, and that a new publisher can indeed rise up and take on these giants.

	ComicsPriceGuide.com - Who has the biggest Valiant Collection?
		I used to correspond with the people at VALIANT (Jim Shooter corrected me once, telling me it's VALIANT, not Valiant) fairly regularly and I have some VALIANT notes and envelopes that were sent to me way back when the company first started.
		VALIANT was a great company and they had some great people working there.
		I think Valiant had done a signed book in partnership with Wizard magazine and the whole VVVS promotion evolved from that into actual books that were solicited in Previews.
