first_comic(linktext,titletext,always) — display a link to the first comic
This tag displays a link to the first comic in the archive. If the reader is already viewing the first comic, displays nothing.
The linktext argument can contain HTML code, and it's not uncommon to see <img> tags used therein, to display arrows. A double arrow pointing left or a single left arrow pointing to a vertical line () for "Previous Comic."
The Index Page option on the Options page can modify the behavior of this tag. If this option is set to "First Comic," then this tag points to your index page by default.
