Archaia Studio Press Adds to ARTESIA Slate

Comicon.com's The Pulse reports that Archaia Studio Press (ASP), publisher of the award-winning Artesia series, is announcing a major expansion to its line of titles:

Although most people know Archaia Studios Press as the publisher of Mark Smylie's critically-acclaimed Artesia, he's expanding his stable by working with other creators including Christopher Moeller, Alex Sheikman, A. David Lewis, and mpMann. At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Smylie will have previews from many of their upcoming works including: Robotika, The Lone and Level Sands, and Iron Empires: Blood und Iron. We didn't want to wait for SDCC, so we caught up with Smylie for some details now about this new publishing move.

Smylie said there were two main reasons he wanted to publish works outside of his own with Archaia: one creative and one practical. He thought this was a natural progression for his company. "Creatively I've always thought the industry is filled with some really great, talented creators and stories, but even with as many publishing houses as there are, there still aren't enough to handle all of them," Smylie said. "I always thought, when I was self-publishing Artesia, if I ever reached the point where I could add extra titles that I would. It just seemed a natural outgrowth from my own work. Now I finally have time to handle the extra work involved with more books."
