Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Founded in 1989 by former Marvel Comics Editor Jim Shooter, and several top artists and writers, Valiant Comics was one of the many "creator owned" comic companies that appeared during the Dark Age. The main idea behind Valiant was to "out write" the competition, which it did by deconstructing the various aspects of the typical comic book universe as presented by its rivals. Valiant used strong characterization in its plots, at a time when the Big Two and Image were focusing more on art than writing. By having all of their characters' powers come from one of three sources (Technology, Psychic Powers, and Magic), they reduced the need for Applied Phlebotinum, allowing them to pursue a more Hard Sci Fi approach than would have been possible in the established universes of DC and Marvel. Their cast of heroes combined characters based on old pulp-style adventurers with more modern character types, as well as buying and revamping a few old Gold Key characters, with interesting results. |
