Atomeka Press

Atomeka Press is a British publisher of comic books set up in 1988 by Dave Elliott and Garry Leach. Atomeka initially ceased publishing in 1997 and was then briefly revived in 2004. In 2013 Atomeka relaunched their flagship title A1 in two formats through Titan Books. The first was a six issue series serializing three strips over six months that are being collected in 2014. Those strips are CARPE DIEM, ODYSSEY and WEIRDING WILLOWS. Then came a separate 160 page tome, A1 volume 1: World's Greatest Comics. Also relaunched at the same time was MONSTER MASSACRE, an anthology for those who love B.E.M. comics (Bug Eyed Monsters). Monster Massacre is a twice yearly anthology while A1 is an annual.

History

Atomeka was established as a company offering creators complete freedom over their material, as well as the opportunity to own all the rights to their creations.

Their first title, A1, was an anthology featuring the likes of Ted McKeever, Alan Moore, Glenn Fabry, and Simon Bisley. Seeing who was involved in the project it was natural that A1 contained some stories that were continuations of Warrior strips such as The Bojeffries Saga and Warpsmith, written by Alan Moore with art by Steve Parkhouse and Garry Leach respectively. During its run A1 won several awards, including the 1990 Harvey Award for best anthology.
