Valiant spotted on TV

So I was watching a re-run of 'Malcom in the Middle' today and noticed something. At one point the youngest boy 'Dewey' is walking across the room reading a comic book. I thought it was strange that Mortal Kombat was still advertising on the back of comic books. So I hit rewind and paused the scene(I love my DVR). I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a Valiant book! I couldn't tell which one, but it looked like A&A. So I looked through all the covers online here and there it was, Archer and Armstrong #16. A booked printed in 1993 made it's way on to tv eight years later.

I took a couple pictures of the tv. They are a little grainy, but you get the idea.

I think there were Val books in that show a few times. I remember a Hard Corps issue on a night stand..... I think.

The HARD Corps comic appeared on the rack of comics that Malcom's friend (I forget his name) had on his closet.

Yeah, I seem to remember others pointing this out over the years.

It was the Mortal Kombat ad that did it. It just seemed so out of place.

I think some Valiant books were visible (at some point) in the movie Unbreakable.

It's possible. Productions like that and Malcolm get their material from 25 cent bins.

I think it was some X-O books if I remember correctly.

It was the only thing the producers could find that was cheap.

X-Force copies had already been thrown out....
