VALIANT NINTENDO PROMOTIONAL POSTER
This poster was supposed to let customers know that Valiant Nintendo comic books were
sold in the establishment. It was advertised in the Nintendo Comics System - Sneak Preview
comic.

NINTENDO POWER VALIANT ADVERTISEMENT
Seen in issue number 12 (May-June 1990) of Nintendo Power, this ad, besides just promoting
a fellow Nintendo license, contains quotes from then president Jim Shooter.

VALIANT NINTENDO PROMOTIONAL ADVERTISEMENT
A poster advertisement promoting the new line of Nintendo comics. Interesting is how
the writers and artists are credited within the ad, and how a 'Coming Soon' message sits
along side an image of Magnus. Possibly included within a magazine or catalog.

NINTENDO POWER HOWARD AND NESTER VALIANT MENTIONS
In Nintendo Power issues 23 and 28 are mentions of Voyager Communications and Art Nichol's work on illustrating the magazine comic strip Howard and Nester. Starting with issue 23 Mr. Nichol's became the comic's artist, but I do not know how long he continued before someone else took over. Check out the fish from issue 26, it looks a lot like the fish seen in other Nintendo comics.

NINTENDO COMICS SYSTEM THREE PACK
This collection of three comics (Super Mario Bros. #2, Legend of Zelda #1, Captain N The Game Master #1)
was sold as a package probably in mass market retail stores. It is possible the two known no price variants were included with this pack.

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA (STOCK COVER) #1 COVER VARIATION
As you can see from the images, the bottom one being from the original comic, someone at Valiant
poorly edited out the issue cost. Possibly created for a second printing, or for inclusion in the above mentioned comic three pack for mass market stores.

THE BEST OF THE SUPER MARIO BROS. (HC) SIGNATURE CARDS
On the inside first page of selected Best of the Super Mario Bros. collection hardcover
were signature cards signed by Valiant talent. These may have come from a comic convention.
Featured here are my two cards for both Art Nichols and Jade Moede.

One of the many officially licensed foreign language editions. This one is a hardcover issue #1
of Super Mario Bros., written in French but otherwise unchanged.

NINTENDO MAGASINET - SWEDISH NINTENDO GAME AND COMIC MAGAZINE
The offical Swedish publication of Valiant's Nintendo comics were printed in Nintendo Magasinet, and ran from 1990 through 1993. The magazine eventually moved away from the comics to focus on the games themselves. An interesting feature of these were the covers, recolored from the US covers, and twice taken from interior panels.
The cover image of the first comic above is taken from the Punch-Out story Outsiders, Page 9, Panel 1 - the second cover is taken from the Super Mario Bros story The Kingdom Enquirer, Page 3, Panel 2 - and the third cover is taken from Nintendo Comics System #9.
