Media Release -- Orang Utan Comics co-founder Peter Rogers' first graphic novel The Interactives, hits shelves this August from Markosia Enterprises.
Media Release -- Dear Friends,
I wanted to let you know that the trade paperback "Haven" is available for ordering now for an August ship date. The reason I'm sending you this message is that with this book being our first, bookstores will not stock it unless someone asks for it. That's why I'm asking for your help.
Media Release -- AAM/Markosia is proud to bring back to print the Eisner-nominated (comics version of the Oscars) all ages fantasy adventure series, Growing Up Enchanted, newly re-lettered in a complete collection of the delightful four-issue miniseries.
FACT: Growing up is hard to do. Fictional FACT: Growing up ENCHANTED is even harder to do!
Media Release -- March will see the introduction of two new OGN's (Original Graphic Novels) from publisher AAM/Markosia, following hot on the heels of recent successes 'From the Pages of Bram Stoker's Dracula: Harker', 'Serpent Wars' and 'Kong: King of Skull Island'.
Media Release -- SPRING HILL, Tenn. – Writer, Leonardo Ramirez has signed with Markosia Enterprises for a new series to be released in July 2009. Markosia Enterprises is known for hits such as Beowulf, Kong: King of Skull Island, and Starship Troopers. Harry Markos is the CEO and Owner of Markosia Enterprises. Davy Fisher will provide the artwork for the first story-arc which deals with Haven’s origin. In a statement, Leonardo mentions Harry as a very “forward-thinking with great ideas for Haven’s future.”

Haven Distributors, "purveryor of fine independent sequential art and comics related merchandise," now has a wide variety of back issues from AdHouse, AAM/Markosia and Broadsword Comics, including The Aviary, Kong: King of Skull Island, and Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose.
Also, Kleefeld On Comics has written a story worth reading on Haven:
If they can win the trust of enough retailers, they might do quite well for themselves. Of course, they do have external factors -- namely, the overall economy -- working against them, but from what I've seen so far, it looks like they're working with retailers one-on-one to help them improve their own businesses. It's generally not the type of business model that will make them rich overnight, but if they can continue to do well in these first few years, I wouldn't be surprised if Haven became a name you might recognize more readily in the not-too-distant future.
Media Release -- It’s been widely regarded that 2009 is the year of the Vampire, with new books by such luminaries as Guillermo del Toro and Justin Cronin releasing epic trilogies, as well as shows like True Blood and films like Twilight keeping the Vampire myth alive. And in October, the first ever ‘Stoker Family approved’ sequel novel is released - Dracula: The Un-Dead, by Bram Stoker’s Great-Grand Nephew Dacre Stoker and Dracula historian Ian Holt.
But in the world of comic sequels to the classic tale, the world of the Vampire has been quiet of late. That is, until now.
Hope Falls, the five-part miniseries that AAM/Markosia released in 2007/2008 is an enigma. In many ways, it's known as the 'little train that could', beating all expectations and finishing 2008 as one of the few monthly creator owned books not from Image, Dark Horse or IDW that actually made it to the end of its run, gathering critical acclaim from fans, reviewers and even fellow professionals in the process.
