Produced by Voyager Communications, Inc., Magnus, along with the second Valiant title, Solar – Man of the Atom, were revivals of comic book titles originally printed in the 1960’s & 1970’s by Gold Key. From 1991 to 1992, Magnus, Solar, and successive original Valiant titles such as Harbinger, Rai, and X-O Manowar combined to provide a solid foundation for the Valiant universe…which was praised for its exciting characters, inviting art, and strong continuity of storytelling across all titles building up to the eighteen-part Unity crossover event of 1992. The Unity storyline, combined with a surge in comic book collecting at the time of DC’s “Death of Superman” and the recent introductions of Wizard: The Guide to Comics and Overstreet Monthly price guide magazines propelled early Valiant comic books to market value listings of $20, $50, or even $100+ each, though the books were less than two years old. The demand for Valiant titles quickly multiplied and by 1993, comic shops became very well stocked on any Valiant title produced after the Unity crossover, while earlier issues remained in short supply. A change in management in 1992 at Voyager Communications, Inc., saw the departure of some of the key players in the production of the early Valiant comic books. 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. Valiant comic book values for all issues were quickly lowered, or even deleted, in the monthly price guides as comic shops nationwide reported that they were unable to sell the discounted Valiant inventory they had on hand, primarily consisting of large quantities of those Valiant comics from 1993 produced after the success of the Unity crossover. In 1994, Voyager Communications, Inc., was sold to Acclaim Entertainment, Inc., and Valiant comic books continued to be published until 1996. The comic book industry continued to shrink, as did the number of Valiant comics printed in 1995 and 1996. Acclaim re-launched their comic book program as “Acclaim Comics Valiant Heroes” for 1997-1998, and then re-re-launched as “Acclaim Comics” in 1999-2000. As a result of these events, and excluding consideration of the limited edition variant cover comic books, Valiant comic books can be divided into the following two-year time periods for collector reference: VALIANT COMICS 1991-1992 – the earliest Valiant universe comics, introduction of characters and stories praised for tight continuity leading to the Unity crossover event. Print runs were lower when compared to other comic books of the time, secondary market prices for these issues topped $100 in the mid-1990s for some issues. Magnus Robot Fighter #0 to 16, Solar Man of the Atom #1 to 15, Harbinger #0(Pink), #1 to 10, Rai #0 to 8, X-O Manowar #1 to 8, Shadowman #1 to 5, Archer & Armstrong #0 to 2, Eternal Warrior #1 & 2, Unity #0 & 1. VALIANT COMICS 1993-1994 – the most common of all Valiant comics produced, widely available since the time of their printing and still seen in larger quantities of highly discounted comic books. Issues which are especially easy to find in large quantities include: Bloodshot #1, Deathmate, HARDCorps #1, Magnus Robot Fighter #25, Ninjak #1, Rai and the Future Force #9, Secret Weapons #1, Solar #25, Turok #1, X-O Manowar #0, and other “first issues” from 1993-94. VALIANT COMICS 1995-1996 – the final issues of the Valiant comic titles. Much lower demand after 1994 led to lower print runs for these issues. Collectors attempting to complete the title runs note that many of these issues are “hard to find” compared to earlier regular issues. Included among these books are most Valiant issues #30 and above, as well as the final issues of later titles such as Armorines, Geomancer, Ninjak, PSI-Lords, Timewalker, and the Visitor. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT VALIANT COMICS, you will find galleries, price guides, checklists, message boards, and a thousand other VALIANT comic book reference pages available online at: www.VALIANTCOMICS.com The Valiant Encyclopedia and Price Guide 3rd Edition – March 2004 THE VALIANT ENCYCLOPEDIA AND PRICE GUIDE PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of The Valiant Encyclopedia and Price Guide is provide a combination of an encyclopedia, a complete checklist of Valiant Universe comics, and a price guide that attempts to accurately gauge collector interest in those Valiant Universe comics. It is our vision to see EVERY Valiant comic, regardless of universe, covered. Included in the listings are the various Valiant premiums (Gold logo books, Valiant Validated Signature Series books, trade paperbacks, etc.) If a Valiant character was featured, it should be listed here. The Valiant Encyclopedia and Price Guide is, admittedly, a work in progress. We have tried to ensure everything contained in the Guide is accurate. Our goal is to make the Guide the only reference a Valiant collector would ever need. HOW TO READ THE LISTINGS This guide contains individual listings for every title and every issue that comprise the Valiant Universes that Valiant and Acclaim Comics published. Valiant Comics published between 1991-1996 are referenced as VH1, Valiant Heroes1 Acclaim Comics published between 1997-2002 are referenced as VH2, Valiant Heroes 2 There are seven basic elements to each listing: the title, the issue number, the date the comic was published (per the indicia or the cover date), the cover price, the current value (as tracked by valiantcomics.com through eBay™ auctions, etc.), the checkbox and any information about that specific book (i.e., print run or guest appearances) A sample listing showing each of these seven elements is shown below. Date published Title Issue number Cover price Bloodshot Yearbook q 1 August 1994 Cover: 3.95 $3.00 One-shot Current value Estimated print run: 80,000 Additional information about the comic Checkbox Most of the items are self-explanatory, although the checkbox probably needs some additional information. This item was provided to allow the collector to have a handy reference list as well as a checklist to assist in collecting specific issues or complete runs of books. USING THE VALIANT ENCYCLOPEDIA AND PRICE GUIDE The guide has been formatted to allow printing on standard 8½ x 11 inch paper, allowing readers to print individual pages or the complete Guide. The current value reflects average prices from online auctions such as eBay™, and includes the shipping cost in the value of the issue. In this way, the current value is the approximate total amount one might pay to acquire the book in person, or from an online source. iii The Valiant Encyclopedia and Price Guide ARCHER - ARMORINES 3rd Edition – March 2004 SECTION 1 – VOYAGER/VALIANT UNIVERSE (VH-1) Archer & Armstrong 3 Archer & Armstrong 12 Archer & Armstrong 24 Archer & Armstrong Archer & Armstrong continued q 0 July 1992 Cover: 2.50 $4.50 q 17 December 1993 Cover: 2.50 $1.00 Indicia has a June 1992 date Estimated print run: 165,000 Estimated print run: 100,000 q 18 January 1994 Cover: 2.50 $1.00 q 0 July 1992 Cover: 2.50 $20.00 Estimated print run: 140,000 GOLD VARIANT q 19 February 1994 Cover: 2.50 $1.00 Estimated print run: 5,000 Estimated print run: 125,000 q 1 August 1992 Cover: 2.50 $4.00 q 20 March 1994 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 Unity – Chapter 3 Estimated print run: 100,000 to 110,000 Estimated print run: 155,000 q 21 April 1994 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 q 2 September 1992 Cover: 2.50 $3.00 Shadowman and Master Darque app Unity – Chapter 11 Estimated print run: 100,000 Estimated print run: 145,000 q 22 May 1994 Cover: 2.50 $2.00 q 3 October 1992 Cover: 2.50 $2.00 Shadowman app; Contains Valiant Era Card Estimated print run: 105,000 Estimated print run: 120,000 q 4 November 1992 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 q 23 June 1994 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 Estimated print run: 100,000 Estimated print run: 75,000 q 5 December 1992 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 q 24 August 1994 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 Estimated print run: 100,000 Estimated print run: 75,000 q 6 January 1993 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 q 25 September 1994 Cover: 2.50 $2.00 Estimated print run: 100,000 Eternal Warrior app q 7 February 1993 Cover: 2.50 $1.50 Estimated print run: 70,000 Estimated print

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

    www.internationalgraphicnovelandcomicsconference.com TheIGNCC@gmail.com #IGNCC18 @TheIGNCC RETRO! TIME, MEMORY, NOSTALGIA THE NINTH INTERNATIONAL GRAPHIC NOVEL AND COMICS CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY 27TH – FRIDAY 29TH JUNE 2018 BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY, UK Retro – a looking to the past – is everywhere in contemporary culture. Cultural critics like Jameson argue that retro and nostalgia are symptoms of postmodernism – that we can pick and choose various items and cultural phenomena from different eras and place them together in a pastiche that means little and decontextualizes their historicity. However, as Bergson argues in Memory and Matter, the senses evoke memories, and popular culture artefacts like comics can bring the past to life in many ways. The smell and feel of old paper can trigger memories just as easily as revisiting an old haunt or hearing a piece of music from one’s youth. As fans and academics we often look to the past to tell us about the present. We may argue about the supposed ‘golden age’ of comics. Our collecting habits may even define our lifestyles and who we are. But nostalgia has its dark side and some regard this continuous looking to the past as a negative emotion in which we aim to restore a lost adolescence. In Mediated Nostalgia, Ryan Lizardi argues that the contemporary media fosters narcissistic nostalgia ‘to develop individualized pasts that are defined by idealized versions of beloved lost media texts’ (2). This argument suggests that fans are media dupes lost in a reverie of nostalgic melancholia; but is belied by the diverse responses of fandom to media texts. Moreover, ‘retro’ can be taken to imply an ironic appropriation.

  • Growing up with Vertigo: British Writers, Dc, and the Maturation of American Comic Books
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarWorks @ UVM GROWING UP WITH VERTIGO: BRITISH WRITERS, DC, AND THE MATURATION OF AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS A Thesis Presented by Derek A. Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

  • Valiant Entertainment and Sony Pictures Today Announced a Deal To
    Valiant Entertainment and Sony Pictures today announced a deal to bring two of Valiant's award-winning comic book superhero franchises— BLOODSHOT and HARBINGER—to the big screen over the course of five feature films that will culminate in the shared universe crossover film, HARBINGER WARS. BLOODSHOT, arriving in theaters in 2017, will kick off the five-picture plan leading to HARBINGER WARS and will be directed by David Leitch & Chad Stahelski (John Wick) from a script by Jeff Wadlow (Kick Ass 2) and Eric Heisserer (Story of Your Life). Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe fromOriginal Film (The Fast and the Furious franchise) and Dinesh Shamdasani from Valiant Entertainment will produce the film. Matthew Vaughn and Jason Kothari will serve as executive producers. HARBINGER will follow shortly thereafter from a script by Eric Heisserer (Story of Your Life). Sony and Valiant remain tight-lipped about potential directors. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe from Original Film(The Fast and the Furious franchise) and Dinesh Shamdasani from Valiant Entertainment will produce. Both BLOODSHOT and HARBINGER will be followed by sequels before the title characters confront each other head on in HARBINGER WARS—a motion picture directly inspired by Valiant’s critically acclaimed 2013 comic book crossover of the same name. Andrea Giannetti will oversee the five- picture HARBINGER WARS initiative for Sony Pictures. “Valiant is one of the most successful publishers in the history of comics, and Neal is one of the best action producers in the business today. This is a formidable partnership that will bring two incredibly commercial franchises with global appeal together on the big screen,” said Sony Entertainment Motion Picture Group President Doug Belgrad.
