Markosia Celebrates 20 Years with Free Digital Comics Weekly
Reading time: 2 minutes
Markosia Celebrates 20 Years of Independent Publishing with an unprecedented gift to comic fans worldwide: free digital comics every week. Beginning Friday, 31st October 2025, the company will give away a free digital comic book every week to subscribers of their newsletter for the foreseeable future.
Founded in May 2005, Markosia has grown from humble beginnings to become a major force in independent publishing. They have released more than 600 graphic novels to the global market. The company's journey began when founder Harry Markos faced the possibility of losing his job due to a serious back injury and potential disability. Rather than accept defeat, Markos channelled his passion for sequential art into building what would become one of Britain's most enduring independent publishers.
Over the past twenty years, Markosia has built an impressive catalogue of acclaimed titles. This includes Beowulf, Dark Mists, Midnight Kiss, Starship Troopers, Shadowmancer, The Lexian Chronicles, and Traveller. The company has worked with some of the industry's top talent, including Lee Garbett, Tony Lee, the late Norm Breyfogle, Ryan Stegman, Szymon Kudranski, and Inaki Miranda, among many others.
While specialising in graphic novels, Markosia has diversified its publishing portfolio. It now includes prose fiction and children's picture books. This shows the company's commitment to storytelling across different formats.
"Twenty years ago, I turned what could have been a devastating setback into an opportunity to build something lasting. This anniversary isn't just about looking back at what we've achieved – it's about thanking the readers, creators, and supporters who've been with us on this journey. These weekly free digital comics are our way of celebrating with the community that made it all possible."
The weekly digital comic giveaway begins on 31st October 2025 and will continue throughout the coming year. Readers can sign up for the newsletter at www.markosia.com.
As Markosia enters its third decade, the company remains committed to championing independent voices and delivering quality storytelling to readers around the world.
