Markosia
Markosia is a British comic book publishing company.
History
Markosia was founded by Harry Markos in 2004. He employed Richard Emms as the editor-in-chief as well as lead designer. In 2005, Markosia had already published Harry Gallan's The Lexian Chronicles novel and the initial plan was to produce comic adaptations of novels, such as The Lexian Chronicles and G. P. Taylor's Shadowmancer. They subsequently secured the license to adapt Starship Troopers, leading to a broadening in the business plan. This would further expand when Markosia brought Chuck Satterlee on board as director of operations.Satterlee moved over from Speakeasy Comics after their troubles in 2006 and he assisted in bringing over a number of titles with him, giving Markosia a range of original comic titles. These included The Hunger by creators Jose Torres and Chris Dibari and Chimaera Studios's with their eight titles.
In 2007 Markosia re-branded themselves for the comics Direct Market by merging with AAM to form AAM Markosia.
In 2008 the company signed a number of properties such as The Boy Who Made Silence, Ritual, N-Guard, Serpent Wars and Eagle Award nominated anthology title Eleventh Hour.
