Valor (EC Comics)

Valor was a short-lived comic book published by EC Comics in 1955 as the second title in its New Direction line. The bi-monthly comic was published by Bill Gaines and edited by Al Feldstein. It lasted a total of five issues before being cancelled, along with EC's other New Direction comics.

Valor was dedicated to tales of action and adventure in various period settings, including Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Crusades, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic era. It was similar in vein to the historical stories that previously appeared in EC's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat from 1950 through 1954.

Contributors to Valor: Reed Crandall, George Evans, Gardner Fox, Graham Ingels, Bernard Krigstein, Joe Orlando, Angelo Torres, Al Williamson and Wally Wood.

Valor was reprinted as part of publisher Russ Cochran's Complete EC Library in 1988. Between October 1998 and February 1999, Cochran (in association with Gemstone Publishing) reprinted all five individual issues. This complete run was later rebound, with covers included, in a single softcover EC Annual.

Valor (music)

Valor was a Christian gospel group made up of John Laws, Paul David Kennamer, Benjamin Dixon, and Kelly Mowrer. The group has been compared to groups such as Take 6, Acappella, and the Gaither Vocal Band. The group is based near Huntsville, Alabama. Valor features Paul David Kennamer's four-octave range. John Laws' name appears on more than five million records for his work as producer, chief engineer, arranger, studio vocalist, and songwriter. Before Valor, John spent 11 years with the music ministry of Acappella and Vocal Union as a recording and sound engineer.

Through the years, they have gone through several star-studded personnel changes. Tenor and lead spots have been filled by such vocal powerhouses George Pendergrass, Jon McLemore, Steve Reischl, Joey Mustain, Chad Bahr, and others.
