Speakeasy Comics - Publications

Publications

During its operation, Speakeasy Comics:

• Published numerous comics series in monthly magazines (such as The Grimoire #1-7, a modernization of Beowulf #1-7, Gatesville Company #1-2, Spellgame #1-3, Hero At Large #1-2, Helios: In With the New #1-2, Athena Voltaire: Flight of the Falcon #1, etc.).
• Had published comics series which later went to other venues before Speakeasy's demise (such as Atomika #1-4, Rocketo #1-6, Of Bitter Souls #1-3, Mutation #1-3, Smoke & Mirror #1-2, Super Crazy TNT Blast #1, Lonebow #1, Wargod #1, Adventures of Bio Boy #1-2, The Hunger #1-5).
• Had published the web comic Butternutsquash.net as a quarterly title. Butternutsquash #1 was published in November 2005 but the second issue was never solicited due to the company closure.
• Had announced or solicited comics series which went to other venues before publication (such as Strangeways, Project Eon, Silent Ghost, O.C.T. - the Occult Crimes Taskforce).
• Intended to collect some series in trade paperbacks when sufficient material had been created, however all solicited TPBs were eventually cancelled (such as Atomika Volume 1, Grimoire Volume 1, Beowulf Volume 1). Usually didn't reprint sold-out monthly issues, except for Atomika #1.

Also, on a business model not unlike that of Image Comics, they:

• Collected out-of-print creator-owned comics series (such as 2020 Visions #1-12 previously serialized at DC/Vertigo, the first miniseries of Phantom Jack #1-5 previously serialized at Image Comics, or Elk's Run #1-3 Collected Edition previously self-published).
• Had started publishing creator-owned independent series (such as hosting the previously self-published Elk's Run (for #4 only), or the second miniseries of Phantom Jack: The Nowhere Man Agenda (for #1 only), etc.).
• Published original graphic novels (such as Parting Ways: the Near Life Experiences of Peter Orbach by Andrew Foley, or The Living And The Dead) and graphic novellas (such as Rich Johnston's The Flying Friar).
