While we are continuing with the posts in - between the SWAMP THING MONTH posts we are taking a small break from Eclipse Comics but not from Timothy Truman as we take a look at his GRIMJACK at First Comics.
Now before doing the usual research I knew three things about GRIMJACK : it's a comic series about a weird looking pirate from First Comics, the first 19 issues were drawn by Timothy Truman who does weird western comics and Tom Sutton did a stint on the book because I always included some GRIMJACK covers in my quasi - annual Tom Sutton tribute posts .
First Comics on the other hand was a comicbook publishing company I was a bit more familiar with than Eclipse Comics since they published various series I was reading like WHISPER ( which had some issues drawn by Norm Breyfogle and which was really difficult to find ), Jim Starlin's DREADSTAR , Mike Grell's SABLE , Howard Chaykin's AMERICAN FLAGG, Joe Staton's E - MAN, comic adaptions of Michael Moorcock's ELRIC and HAWKMOON books but most importantly Steve Rude's space opera NEXUS.
first things first
