Compupress

Having already migrated as an e-magazine to the iPad as well as the Adobe Digital Editions platforms in 2012, the magazine published its final paper issue (#344) in May 2013.

The company also published Pixel, a Greek language home computer magazine during the era of the 8/16-bit micros (ZX81, ZX Spectrum, VIC-20, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga etc.).

Both shows would be fully financed by Compupress which would recuperate the costs by finding the required sponsors amongst the local computer companies.

Amongst its services was a full-text searching facility for a large number of Greek magazines (apart from Compupress' own), a number of on-line games (most notably Air Warrior and Federation II), an online database with scientific and business news, online access to a daily newspaper custom-made according to each users' preferences etc.

CompuLink was initially designed as an Athens-based system with approximately 100 local telephone lines and (for that time period) state-of-the-art modems at 2,400 - 9,600 baud.

In 2000, Compupress launched a new branch under the name of Digital Content (or DigiCon as it came to be known) in order to have an active presence in the area of web development and on-line services.

Amongst these most prominent were Information and Today’s Enterprise (Σύγχρονη Επιχείρηση), two publications that urged the Greek companies of that period to abandon older concepts and enter the informatics era.

In 1989, Compupress published Touristiki Agora (Τουριστική Αγορά), a trade monthly in the area of the Greek tourism industry.

In 2007, the company entered the local crossword magazine market launching the weekly Lytis (Λύτης) which proved to be extremely short-lived.

During the late nineties, Anubis, the company’s book-publishing branch, turned to translating fantasy and science-fiction best-sellers in order to compensate for the declining computer-book sales figures.

Consequently, since 2005 Compupress has published a number of well-known comic book series, such as Batman, Superman, Ultimate Spider-Man, several X-Men titles, Conan the Barbarian, Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

In February 2009 the magazine ceased publication with its 33rd issue, citing the global financial turmoil as one reason for dwindling sales.

Since 2005, Anubis Comics has published a number of previously written graphic novels, including Alan Moore's V for Vendetta and Watchmen, Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Endless Nights, G.R.R.Martin's The Hedge Knight, Superman: Birthright, Batman: Hush, Ultimate Iron Man, as well as a number of classic B&W Conan the Barbarian graphic novels.

2009 saw the launching of Anubis junior, a new branch of the company catering to the children and preteen market through a number of new magazines, some of which were licensed and some were designed by Compupress.

The imprint publishes titles such as, Gormiti, Transformers, and titles based on licensed toys, superheroes and cartoons, such as Ben 10, Bakugan, Playmobil, Batman: Brave and the Bold, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo and Patito Feo, an Argentinean teen comedy TV series, as well as other major children's brand names.
