Avatar Press is a comic book publisher which has carved a niche for itself as a company that pushes the boundaries between mainstream and independent with titles such as Alan Moore's The Courtyard and Magic Words, Warren Ellis' Strange Killings and Scars, Garth Ennis and John McCrea's irreverent private eye cult classic Dicks, Joe R. Lansdale and Tim Truman's Dead Folks, David Quinn and Tim Vigil's 777: The Wrath, company owned characters such as Pandora and The Ravening, licensed hits such as Frank Miller's Robocop and Stargate SG1, and long-running anthology title Threshold, among numerous other titles -- including comics for mature readers, and other audiences. A company that has established itself as one of the cornerstones of the American indy comic book scene over the past six years, Avatar has published over 350 comic books since 1997.

Flashback: Pandora #1  

We're getting a start on filling out the earlier portions of the Avatar back-issue store database with cover graphics and issue information, and as we do so we'll ocassionally make note of updates here with some behind-the-scenes commentary on the books in question.

The book we're starting with here is nothing less than the very first comic that Avatar Press published, Pandora #1 from December 1996. Avatar editor-in-chief William Christensen and creative director Mark Seifert began developing the foundations of company earlier that year after having worked on projects for a variety of other companies including London Night Studios and Chaos! Comics -- their first published work was a writing gig in Chaos! Quarterly #1. The company made its first public announcements at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC that summer.  (...continued in the Behind the Scenes section)
