Adventure Publications was an American comic book publisher founded by Steve Milo in 1986, based in Fairfax, Virginia and active from 1986 to 1993. In 1989, it merged with American publisher Malibu Comics, becoming the Adventure Comics imprint.
Founded in May 1986 by Steve Milo,[1] the company was named for its first book, The Adventurers, initially published by Canadian comics publisher Aircel. After the first two issues, Adventure Publications began publishing independently with a second printing of the first two issues, now cover titled simply Adventurers (though the indicia would retain The Adventurers usage through issue five).
By March 1988, the company had five titles (Adventurers, Elf Warrior, Ninja Elite, Star Rangers, and Warriors) and had grown to the seventh largest of the approximately one-hundred comic publishers in the US.[1] In January of 1989, Adventure Publications was acquired by American publisher Malibu Comics, which had previously acquired Aircel in October 1988.[2][3] It continued as the Adventure Comics imprint of Malibu until 1993.
