Pacific Comics was one of the independent comic book publishers that flourished in the early 1980s. Pacific Comics (PC) began out of a San Diego, California comic book shop owned by Bill and Steve Schanes. They, along with First Comics and Eclipse Comics, moved to take advantage of the growing direct market. PC managed to attract a number of writers and artists from DC and Marvel with creator-owned titles. And as they were not subject to the Comics Code they were able to use more mature content. Notable titles by PC included the six-part adaptation of Elric of Melniboné by Roy Thomas, P. Craig Russell and Michael T. Gilbert, Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers and Silver Star by Jack Kirby; The Rocketeer by Dave Stevens; Groo the Wanderer by Sergio Aragones, Mark Evanier, and Stan Sakai; and Twisted Tales and Alien Worlds, two anthology titles edited, and chiefly written, by Bruce Jones. Pacific Comic ceased operations in 1984, with some of the surviving titles going to First Comics and Eclipse Comics.
