Author Stephan Friedt shares the story of the meteoric rise of the
Schanes brothers’ California-based imprint Pacific Comics, which
published such legends as Jack Kirby, Sergio Aragonés, Steve
Ditko, Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Bernie Wrightson, and Dave Stevens.
From its groundbreaking 1981 arrival in the fledgling direct sales
market, to a catastrophic, precipitous fall after only four years,
The Pacific Comics Companion reveals the inside saga, as told to
Friedt by Bill and Steve Schanes, David Scroggy, and many of the
creators themselves. It also focuses on the titles and the amazing
array of characters they introduced to an unsuspecting world,
including The Rocketeer, Captain Victory, Ms. Mystic, Groo the
Wanderer, Starslayer, and many more. Written with the editorial
assist of Eisner Award-winning historian Jon B. Cooke, this
retrospective is the most comprehensive study of an essential
publisher in the development of the creator’s rights movement.
