Love and Rockets #1

Gilbert, Jaime & Mario Hernandez (Los Bros Hernandez) · Fantagraphics Books · 1981

The 1981 SELF-PUBLISHED Love and Rockets #1 is the true first and is very scarce. The Fantagraphics #1 (September 1982) is an expanded reworking of it, not a straight reprint, and is itself a landmark first appearance in book/comic form.
