A1

A1 was a bold, anthology-style comic published by Atomeka Press from 1989 to 1992, running six issues that showcased a rotating roster of British and American talent. Most frequently associated with writers Dave Elliott, Hilary Barta, and James Robinson, alongside artists D'Israeli, Dougie Braithwaite, and Barta himself, the series offered a mix of genre-hopping short stories, from dark fantasy to satire. It mattered as a creative playground that highlighted emerging voices and experimental storytelling during the early '90s independent comics boom.
