HARBINGER #1 — CBCS 9.4 VALIANT COMICS

This is Harbinger #1, one of the most important early-1990s independent keys, graded CBCS 9.4 Off-White / White Pages — a book that helped define Valiant Comics as a serious contender during the copper-to-modern transition era.

If you collect Valiant, 90s keys, or first-appearance team books, this is a must-own cornerstone.

Harbinger #1 isn’t just another #1 — it’s the launchpad for the entire Harbinger mythos, which became one of Valiant’s flagship franchises and later crossed into film and modern media relevance.

Key significance:
• First appearances of Sting, Torque, Flamingo, Zephyr, Kris Hathaway, and Faith Herbert (Zephyr)
• Establishes Project Rising Spirit–style themes of power, control, and rebellion
• Introduces the darker, more grounded tone that separated Valiant from Marvel/DC at the time

This book represents Valiant’s answer to the X-Men, but with a grittier, more realistic edge.
