| - Atomeka Press was a publisher of comic books set up in 1988 by Dave Elliott and Garry Leach. Atomeka ceased publishing in 1997 and was then revived in 2004, but its future seems uncertain, as it has not published any new material since 2005.
- Atomeka was established as a company offering creators complete freedom over their material, as well as the opportunity to own all the rights to their creations. Their first title, A1, was an anthology featuring the likes of Ted McKeever, Alan Moore, Glenn Fabry, and Simon Bisley. Seeing who was involved in the project it was natural that A1 contained some stories that were continuations of Warrior strips such as The Bojeffries Saga and Warpsmith, written by Alan Moore with art by Steve Parkhouse and Garry Leach respectively. During its run A1 won several awards, including the 1990 Harvey Award for best anthology.

- Atomeka was established as a company offering creators complete freedom over their material, as well as the opportunity to own all the rights to their creations. Their first title, A1, was an anthology featuring the likes of Ted McKeever, Alan Moore, Glenn Fabry, and Simon Bisley. Seeing who was involved in the project it was natural that A1 contained some stories that were continuations of Warrior strips such as The Bojeffries Saga and Warpsmith, written by Alan Moore with art by Steve Parkhouse and Garry Leach respectively. During its run A1 won several awards, including the 1990 Harvey Award for best anthology. During the 1990s, Atomeka continued publishing A1, as well as related specials such as A1: Bikini Confidential. They also published some of Simon Bisley's creator-owned work during this period, in titles such as Monster Massacre and Heavy Metal. Dave Elliott solo edited a four-issue sequel to A1 in colour for Marvel's Epic imprint. As Tundra UK's Publisher, Dave Elliott used the Atomeka title to establish their own identity within the larger company and were responsible for titles with all the UK comic creators. Dave brought the two titles he started at John Brown Publishing, Lazarus Churchyard and White Trash, with him to complete. In 1997, Atomeka ceased publishing, as Elliott and Leach pursued other projects.
