Launching in 1983, First boasted a strong line-up of creators - Frank Brunner, Mike Grell, Howard Chaykin, Joe Staton, Steven Grant, Mike Baron, Steve Rude, Tim Truman and Jim Starlin - but its titles met with variable success and the company eventually went under in the late 1980s.
Probably its best-known titles were Chaykin's satirical futuristic cop series American Flagg; the space superhero series Nexus by Mike Baron and Steve Rude; an action/superhero/fantasy/comedy series called Badger, also by Baron; and Mike Grell's Jon Sable, which was briefly adapted for TV. First also published a series of comic adaptations of the Eternal Champion books by Michael Moorcock. The final major project was a revival of Classic Comics with top talents.
