Valiant Parodies

ian_house · Post by **ian_house** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:50 am

I was just browsing the board and noticed the discussion on the X-O Manowar rings which lead me to the Miscelaneous items page where I found the parody comics

http://www.valiantcomics.com/valiant/va ... asp?id=300

has anyone read/got these? If so are they funny at all or just cheap *SQUEE*?

PS. I've been away for a while and all the news on the relaunch is exciting the hell out of me!!!!

I have both Bloodshot parodies.

BLOODYHOT was more of a true parody.

BLOODSKIRT was less a parody of Bloodshot than Godzilla movies, I'd have to say. But it did come with a trading card.

were they actually funny as the covers look a lil cheap and I've never heard of the companys involved?

I've got a Bloodyhot. I'll sell it for $6 shipped if anyone is interested.

I have a few of 'em and consider them a novelty
(but a must have for anal completists!).

I see them as testament, if you will, as to the impact Valiant had at the time.
You are not famous till you've been parodied.
While the covers are a bit amusing they are cheaply done, amateurish and dull IMO.

Malibu had some nasty VALIANT words in that issue.

The BLOODYHOT cover, I thought, was well done, given the much smaller print budget. I interviewed the writer & publisher of that one and it's on my site. Ditto my interview with the penciller of BLOODSKIRT.

BoH

I have XO Cow a war.

It's bagged with some special card. I think it is even numbered like out of 500.

There is a pic of it somewhere on the board.

We'll see if you're still laughing when I change my Board ID to "DonicSan"

Psst... OX Cow-o-War

I picked up a large lot of Spoof comics some time ago and it was in there. OX even appears in Imp-Unity (Gender is not absolute).

I knew there was something I was missing.

What about non comic parodies? I've seen the Simpsons comic thing with Ninjak and co (I'm sure its on the boards here somewhere)

But can anyone else think of others that we may not have seen?

I think Valiant made an "appearance" in a Darker Images issue.

They also cameo in Wyrd I believe.

Is that a VALIANT parody too?

It makes a pretty darn cool avatar, though.

A VALIANT parody and a Beatles parody all-in-one

Is there a full list of the "limited" parody books? I have the Bloodyskirt limited books (signed and with trading card as pictured below) and Elveen mentioned there's a OX Cow-o-war book w/ trading card limited to 500. Are there other limited ones out there?

Interesting that you bring that up. I have a list that I have been working on. I keep meaning to post it in the DU section. There were two major spoof comic companies. At my fingertips, the Valiant-related issues were (and this is most definitely not a complete list):

Spoof Comics

Spoof Comics Presents 0 (Imp-Unity) [this was an ongoing series, only issue 0 was Valiant related, the remaining issues are one-shots]
Spoof Comics Presents Bloodskirt
Spoof Comics Presents Deathmitt (could this be better than Deathmate?)
Spoof Comics Presents O-X Cow-o-War
Spoof Comics Presents Soft Corps (there was also a limited signed version)

Parody Press

Bloodyhot 1
Headbanger 1
Magnets Robot Dismantler 1 Deluxe Edition (regular edition may not exist?)

Spoof Comics was particularly fond of putting out limited edition books that were limited in different ways - they would have versions that came with cards and different versions that came with premium cards and they would have limited runs of autographed books - sometimes they would offer multiple autographs - not that the books were signed by more than one creator but rather there would be different versions signed by a single creator. I doubt that a complete list of these will ever be compiled.
