"We own everything except for those three Gold Key characters."following Acclaim's bankruptcy, Kothari and Dinesh Shamdasani purchased the Valiant intellectual property in an April 2005 asset auction. Ownership of the Valiant characters has not always been clear in the interim period, but former Marvel CEO and vice chairman Peter Cuneo, now the chairman of Valiant Entertainment, says that the company has conducted "extensive due diligence" to ensure that they own these characters free and clear.Solar, Turok and Magnus were first published by Gold Key in the 1960s, then licensed by Valiant to serve as integral characters in the original Valiant Universe. Dark Horse currently holds the license to the three characters, with writer Jim Shooter at the helm. Shooter co-founded Valiant in 1989 with writer-artist Bob Layton.In 2009, Valiant Entertainment reportedly filed suit against Shooter due to him accepting work with Dark Horse representing a breach of a non-compete clause as part of his former position as the new Valiant Entertainment's editor-in-chief. At the moment, it appears the issues have been resolved.
