What Didn't you collect?

Archer&Armstrong: 1-18
Bloodshot: 1-2, 4-7
Deathmate: Blue, Yellow, Black
Harbinger: 15-25
H.A.R.D. Corps: 1-15
Shadowman: 15-21
Second Life of Doctor Mirage: 1-3
Secret Weapons: 1-4
Solar: Man of the Atom: 16-30
Turok: 1
XO Manowar: 12-17

Pretty much all stopping points coincide when I quit collecting comic books for the most part, late 93/very earlyl 94. All things considered, it is amazing I ever came back to Valiant since most of the stuff I initially purchased was well after the lustre was off of the universe. Those final issues were mostly garbage.

Honestly, I couldn't afford to collect much of any Valiant.

When Valiant was big (1992) I was only about 14 and the comics I read was pretty much determined by how much lunch money I could squirrel away and get for doing chores at my Grandmothers. At that time I read Silver Surfer, X-Men and X-Force regularly and whatever hot book was on the rack that month (Wolverine #50, Daredevil #300, Spidey 30th Anniversary Hologram Covers, Fantastic Four #358, etc...)

The only Valiants I had enough money to pick up back then were:

Solar #13, 19, 20, 22
Shadowman #11, 12, 13, 19
Magnus #21, 25
Harbinger #15, 25
Bloodshot #0, 1
Archer and Armstrong #6
Turok #1
X-O Manowar #13, 14, 15 (the longest run I had back then)
Deathmate Prologue

I discovered Valiant with X-O #3 so the early stuff was already too expensive to buy with a teen allowance. The later books I just wasn’t interested in and chose DC and Marvel titles instead. Also, I steered completely away from all of the Acclaim books. The titles that remained on my pull list from #1 to nearly the end of the VH1 Era were:

X-O
Shadowman
Archer and Armstrong
Eternal Warrior
Bloodshot
Turok
Ninjak
Doctor Mirage

Right now I’m only really interested in the original nine books plus Bloodshot—my collection ends with the serial number contest winner books for most titles. I would like my collection to go deeper but Hurricane Katrina took out most of my middle and later ranges books.

I pretty much had most of the Valiant line in my folder from the start, The ones I did not get were a bit later on, like Armorines, Dr Mirage, Ninjak, Turok, and the later titles. I cannot pick a fave but Solar, Harbinger, HARD CORPS and XO were probably my faves with Magnus being right up there. They were all just great reading, and artwork.

I never got Harbinger.... Of course it was not the best book after issue 25.

i refused to read rai for a very long time-i arrived late on the scene and #'s 3 and 4 with those hefty price tags scared me away-i thought, "If I like it, then i'll have to BUY those back issues eventually...plus i don't know japanese (i had NO idea what lurked inside those pages!) soon enough though i was dabbling in all of the titles...til chaos effect.

all the shops i went to gave the valiant voice away with ANY purchase. their official policy was any valiant purchase, but if you inquired, they'd give it to you. sorry so many of you got hosed.

I had evrything Unity and after until May of '94,
the upper deck card stuff.
Then I found girls they cost more than Valiant ever did...
Now I'm married so no more girls

therefor Valiant lives again... she's a loyal misstress
