Valiant Print Runs
Hi everyone, I'm new here and looking for some Valiant Print run data, would appreciate any help.
There use to be an amazing site that had a huge list of the print runs for Valiant comics from the early 1990's all the way to the present but I can't find it anymore. Very sad about this actually, it was a great resource.
That said, below is a list of the 17 rarest pre-Unity Valiant that I found here: http://valiantarchive.com/valiant/rarest.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
1) Rai #3: 35,000
2) Rai #4: 35,000
3) Rai #5: 35,000 to 40,000
4) Rai #2: 35,000 to 40,000
5) Harbinger #4: 35,000 to 40,000
6) Harbinger #3: 35,000 to 40,000
7) Harbinger #5: 35,000 to 40,000
8) Solar #9: 40,000
9) X-O Manowar #4: 40,000
10) Harbinger #2: 40,000
11) Harbinger #6: 40,000
12) Solar #8: 40,000
13) X-O Manowar #3: 40,000 to 45,000
14) Shadowman #2: 40,000 to 45,000
15) Solar #7: 45,000 to 50,000
16) Harbinger #1: 48,000
17) Magnus #12: 50,000
As well, there are estimates of some of the other issues here: http://valiantarchive.com/valiant/gal-detailed.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'm also looking for estimates of the print runs for the following issues:
Valiant Masters: Ninjak HC (Valiant, 2013)
Solar, Man of the Atom #11, 56, 57, 58, 59, and #60
Harbinger #11, 14, and 15
Rai #29, 30, 31, 32, 33
Archer & Armstrong #0 (if I recall this being around 100,000 but don't have a source any more)

Re: Valiant Print Runs
This reminds me that I still need to track down copies of a couple of the earliest issues of RAI.

My wife likes to draw stuff too, and she is better than me! [I'm very proud of her]... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sara-Dec ... ref=stream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
