Before launching the Valiant Universe with the likes of Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus Robot Fighter, Harbinger, and more, Jim Shooter's Valiant Comics published a handful of Nintendo-licensed comics in 1990-91 based on Mario, Zelda, Game Boy, and Captain N.

Dave Stevens passed-away in 2008 due to complications with leukemia, but his body of...
