Secret Weapons

Back in the heyday of Valiant Comic Books in the early 1990s the company was at the height of its popularity.  All of its comic books were selling well. 

But, on the near horizon a storm was brewing.  The nefarious comic book glut, fueled by profit-minded speculators, was about to strike a blow to the comic book industry.

Unfortunately Valiant Comics would be one of its victims.  But, just before that all happened Valiant relapsed a new title: Secret Weapons, that teamed Valiant's top heroes against the supernatural forces of Master Darque and his new henchman: Doctor Eclipse.

Secret Weapons was Valiant's version of Marvel Comics’ The Avengers and DC Comics’ Justice League Of America.

In mood and theme it more closely resembled DC Comics’ Justice League Dark with its supernatural slant.

The team consisted of Doctor Solar Man Of The Atom, X-O Man of War, Shadowman, Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot, members of the Harbingers and occasionally, Turok Son Of Stone.

Like Marvel’s The Avengers and DC’s Justice League the series teamed up all the heroes of the Valiant Universe.

It was an ambitious concept but unfortunately not long afterwards Valiant Comics would cease to exsit as the speculator glut practically destroyed the comic book industry.

Valiant like so many other smaller publishers disappeared leaving only Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse as the primary comic book publishers.

It would be years before the comic book industry fully recovered and Valiant would reappear, albeit in a slightly different form.
