Looking back now, VALIANT's 14 years of existence feels like no time at all. It had seemingly been around forever when I was a kid, and I'm surprised to learn that it wasn't. Of course, if you happen to be a teenager, 14 years seems like eternity, but to decrepit old farts like myself, it's insignificant.
The weekly comic featured several popular strips throughout its run, including classics like CAPTAIN HURRICANE, The STEEL CLAW, The HOUSE Of DOLMANN, The WILD WONDERS, and KELLY'S EYE. Difficult as it may be to believe, Britain has now been Valiant- free for 39 years, and to me, in my dotage, that also feels like no time at all - a mere couple of blinks away in fact.
I only started buying the weekly periodical once SMASH! was merged with it (and then TV21), but I'd read a few issues belonging to a friend of my brother in the mid to late '60s, so I was well-aware of the comic and its contents before it became a regular feature of my comics-buying practice.
Do you remember Valiant? Got any memories associated with it that you'd care to air and share? Good! Straight over to the comments section with you then - we're all waiting.
