Everything about Atomeka Press totally explained
Atomeka Press is a publisher of
comic books set up in
1988 by
Dave Elliot and
Garry Leach.
History
Atomeka was set up to be a company where each creator would have complete freedom to do what they want, as well as owning the rights of their creations.
Their first title,
A1, was an
anthology title featuring works from the likes of
Ted McKeever,
Alan Moore,
Glenn Fabry, and
Simon Bisley. The first issue was published in
1988 and proved to be popular thanks to the talent working in the series. It also published spin-offs of
Warrior such as
the Bojeffries Saga and
Warpsmith, written by Alan Moore with art by Garry Leach.
During the
1990s, it carried on publishing
A1, as well as related specials. They also published much of Simon Bisley's creator owned work during this period in titles such as
Monster Massacre.
In
1997, it ceased publishing work as Elliot and Leach went off to do other things.
In
2004 they resurrected the company in cooperation with Ross Richie, publishing
A1 Big Issue Zero,
Bricktop,
Mister Monster: Worlds War Three, and
Stalkers, featuring a mix of reprint material. Richie generated his own new projects under the Atomeka banner, such as
Hero Squared and
G.I. Spy as well as new work from the likes of
Mike Mignola with
Jenny Finn. The team-up didn't last long, as Richie left to form his own company,
Boom! Studios, taking
Squared,
Spy, and
Finn with him.
In late
2004 the
A1 Sketchbook was released in part by original
Miracleman penciler
Garry Leach and Atomeka Press. It contained four
Miracleman-related pin-ups (although the pin-ups were not directly said to be
Miracleman for possible legal reasons). A variant of the sketchbook was also produced, and it featured a
Miracleman front cover and Kid
Miracleman back cover by Leach.
In
2005 they published a 3-part re-issue of
Ted McKeever's
Eddy Current, and also one (of three planned) "Bojeffries Terror Tomes", reprinting
The Bojeffries Saga by
Alan Moore and
Steve Parkhouse, and featuring additional work by
Neil Gaiman and
Michael Zulli,
Ramsey Campbell and
David Lloyd,
Michael T. Gilbert and
Dave Dorman,
Warren Ellis and
Steve Pugh, and also including Ted McKeever's Eddy Current and a solo tale of Eddy Current's Nun.
