History
The magazine was published and edited by Quality Communications owner Dez Skinn for its first two hundred issues, from 1990–2006. (Skinn's "Sez Dez" column appeared in each issue during this time.)
Following Skinn stepping down, with the publication of issue #201, the magazine's ex-news editor Mike Conroy became the editor. (Conroy had taken over the main news section of the magazine in 1997 from Phil Hall.) Conroy announced a new direction for the magazine under his editorship:
| “ | My vision can be distilled down to a news-driven blend of Amazing Heroes and Starlog's Comics Scene presented with CI’s traditional level playing field approach and straightforward reportage. I’d like to think that we can capture the middle ground between Wizard’s irreverent hyperbole, The Comics Journal’s serious, intellectual approach and whatever it is Comics Buyer's Guide has to offer. | ” |
After the editorial changeover, however, the magazine's frequency became increasingly sporadic, casting doubt on its long-term future under the new editorial team. In May 2010, Cosmic Publications was dissolved, thus confirming that Comics International had ended, after publishing only eight regular issues (and a few specials) under its new regime.
