Not the first comic opera by Adolphe Adam. His first was the operette (light opera) Le Mal du pays ou La Bateliere de Brientz, 28 Dec. 1827. In 1829, Pierre et Catherine was performed at the Opera-Comique, Salle Feydea in February; he provided incidental music for Isaure, a drama, in October 1829.
He was prolific; a long list of his works (vaudeville, opera comique, incidental music), 1824-1856, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operas_by_Adam
