My first contribution to "Beyond the Big Two Week" is courtesy of Epic Comics in 1986. Now this is sort of a cheat, since that was a Marvel imprint, but it's notable that it was it's creator-owned imprint. The likes of Jim Starlin's Dreadstar and Christy marx's "Sisterhood of Steel" were part of the Epic line as were Alien Legion and Six from Sirius. Sometimes they used Marvel characters (Most notably in Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz's Elektra: Assassin series and Stan Lee and Moebius' Silver Surfer: Parable.
