Agreed!
Ah, the good old days. I remember being shocked, SHOCKED , I tell you! That these upstarts would dare blaspheme the holy duo with their presence! Of course I bought them as soon as I found them! Happy Anniversary!
American Flagg! Grimjack! Scout! THOSE were the days!
Happy Anniversary! 1First was one of my favorite comic companies in the 80's. I collected Badger, Grim Jack and your Michael Moorcock books (Elric, Hawkmoon, and Corum) exclusively. I also bought other titles off and on, like Jon Sable, American Flagg, Lone Wolf and Cub collections and others. And I absolutely love the full colour TNMT trade reprint collections that you put out. One of my favorite eras for buying comic books. Any chance of hard cover Omnibus editions collecting those 1First Comics titles like Badger, Grim Jack and Nexus?
Loved those early titles by First! From the era that saw some of my favorite smaller publishers (First, Eclipse, Comic) and you're still standing. That's quite a feat. Congrats!
Grimjack is one of the best properties ever made. They should do a movie
Jon Sable Freelance American Flagg E-Man Grim Jack Dig!
GRIMJACK! STARSLAYER! DREADSTAR!
Sable!!!

Oh yeah... and we'll be in Las Vegas schleppin' books, hawking wares, and likely yelling at dumb people all weekend long. Not a very good sales strategy, we know... but sometimes ya just gotta yell at that kid for being a dumbass.

CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: ORLANDO HARDING
Orlando Harding's penchant for fast action and deeper meaning has always been reflected in his work. For 1First Comics, his two titles, RRH and NIGHT STALKER, reflect the same theme in two different ways - overcoming adversity in a world that no longer makes any sense. In RRH, the main character, Sydney, finds herself confronting a murderous wolf and is plunged into a world of magical threats and supernatural opponents. In NIGHT STALKER, Dyana plunges headfirst from the Infernal Realms into the hell of our own world's many, many moral and societal failings, all in an effort to bring back the worst of the worst who have escaped Satan's clutches.
What makes this guy tick? What drives him to tell the stories he tells? We conducted a brief interview with Orlando to shed a little light on the matter!
--------------------------------------
1FIRST COMICS: Comics are an extremely broad and unpredictable medium and can make the reader laugh, cry, or gasp. With so many possibilities of outcome between the creator and reader, what do you hope the reader will take away from your work?
ORLANDO: Unpredictability. I really strive to create comics where the reader won't know exactly what was going to happen on the next page. I couldn't stand reading books (or viewing movies) where you know how the story would end in the first few pages or scenes. I try to keep the reader off balance and coming back for more because they have no idea as to what’s on the next page.

I collected RRH under the 1First Comics/ Devil's Due brand . Any chance to see the series return?
