Markosia was founded by Harry Markos and Richard Emms (previously of APC), who was employed by Markosia as the founding Editor-in-chief as well as lead designer. in 2005. Markos has already published Harry Gallan's The Lexian Chronicles and the initial plan was to produce comic adaptations of books, like The Lexian Chronicles and G.P. Taylor's Shadowmancer.
