VALIANT MASTERS: NINJAK Fights Its Way to 200 PAGES!

Valiant is proud to announce that the first-ever hardcover collection of Mark Moretti and Joe Quesada's Ninjak is getting even bigger! Now clocking in at 200 pages, Valiant Masters: Ninjak Vol. 1 – Black Water collects the definitive origin and debut solo adventure of super-spy Colin King's masked alter ego – plus an exclusive compendium of more than than a dozen rare and never-before-seen Joe Quesada pencils and process art direct from the Valiant vaults! Re-presenting Ninjak (1994) #1-6, #0, and #00, get ready for an unparalleled look inside the series that sent shockwaves through the original Valiant Universe!

 

Codenamed Ninjak, Colin King is gifted with a brilliant mind and lethal training in the world’s most dangerous fighting techniques. Both will be put to the ultimate test as he is drawn into a globe-spanning mission to apprehend Dr. Silk, mastermind of the WEBNET terror network, before the mysterious weapon known as “Black Water” goes online. From the British Isles to the land of the Rising Sun, Ninjak is about to leave an indelible imprint on the Valiant Universe – or die trying.

 

The second in Valiant's new line of hardcover collections spotlighting the best of the original Valiant Universe, Valiant Masters: Ninjak – Black Water is an action-packed piece of comics history, and features art by one of the most acclaimed artists in the history of the medium, Joe Quesada, and an all-star cast of Valiant's classic talents.
