Looked at Mile High, Knighthawk did come out, six issues from Windjammer/Acclaim. Here's the cover of issue #1. Gotta love Neal Adams!

When Birthquake took place and a bunch of the Valiant books were cancelled, Acclaim (who had just purchased Valiant) also started two other comic lines completely separate from the Valiant heroes books. The Windjammer books were for creator-owned properties. They published a few of Neal Adams studio books and Mike Grell's Starslayer and some others that aren't coming to mind. They also started the Armada imprint, which published the Magic:The Gathering comics and other licensed properties later on like Sliders. The logos do look a lot alike but aren't exactly the same as you can see.

Here it is, it is kind of strange that they used the old compass logo in those ads.

Man, I love my digital camera, so much fun to play with!

Since we have no idea of the print run of these, I kept my #6, which should have the lowest print run. I figure I can either get 50 cents for it now or wait until the super completionists need it and auction it for more.

I'll put it in my "keep until the right time to sell pile" along with all of my comics for upcoming movies and other seriously undervalued comics.

According to the Standard Catalog of Comic Books (2nd Edition)
by Krause Publications, Knighthawk #5 and #6 both had Capital City orders
of 4,875 copies.
Capital City represented about 20%-25% of the 1995 market,
so the print run would be approximately 20,000 to 24,000 copies.
