Published Works
CheckerBPG launched with its November, 2001 release of Chuck Dixon's Alien Legion: Force Nomad, which Thompson called "the perfect title to launch ", highlighting Checker's intentions to "go back and rescue worthy comic book properties which lived and died in the era before the graphic novel format had taken hold, and to keep them available to the public in a durable, good-looking, complete format." Other early titles included Clive Barker's Hellraiser and his Eisner Award-nominated anthology Tapping the Vein. Thompson also managed to negotiate the reprint rights to Topps Comics' X-Files comics, as well as a couple of volumes of Alan Moore's Awesome Comics work: two volumes of his Supreme, as well as the ultimately aborted Universe-relaunching mini-series Judgment Day.
