History

The company was formed by Nick Landau to republish stories from the comics anthology, repackaged into American comic book format (in the same way his Titan Books had been reprinting them as trade paperbacks).[1] In 1986 the license, from IPC, passed to Quality Communications.

Titles

The series they brought to American audiences included:

Notes
  1. Bishop (2007) page 79. Initially discussing the Titan trade paperbacks and IPC's non-payment of royalties to creators for reprints, Landau says "We decided to pay creators out of our own profits, which did not make IPC too happy. We did this again when we launched and ran Eagle Comics in the US for IPC [reprinting 2000 AD material]."
