Val Mayerik Magic the Gathering Shadow Mage #1 cover art. Painted! Armada, 1995

In 1995, off the back of Wizard of the Coast's huge success on MTG, Armada (a division of Acclaim comics, which bought Valiant), started publishing range of comics based on the card game.

This was one of the first off the ranks - I believe it ties with Ice Age in terms of release dates.
