Anglia Comics

Anglia Comics is a British comic book publishing company founded in January 1994 by Dale Hughes and Mark Booth. The company specialises in the creation and publishing of comic books mostly centred on superheroes.
Founded in 1994 by newly graduated Dale Hughes and Mark Booth the company published its first comic, Nighthawk #1, on July 6, 1995. The company quickly grew success and expanded into its first headquarters in Ipswich, Suffolk, on November 23, 1996.
In 2002, Mark Booth, Co-Founder, left the company over creative differences and founded Booth Publishing Corporation. This venture of Booth was short lived and he eventually returned to Anglia Comics in 2006 with Booth Publishing Corporation being merged with Anglia Comics.
The company would branch out in industry and begin creating animated TV shows in 2004, with the subsidiary Anglia Studios being founded in 2005. Towards the end of the 2000's popularity began to decline with the company recording its lowest sales in February 2008. The company would receive a large boost in popularity however with the release of Marvel Studios' Iron Man film in May 2008.
Seeing a shift in the industry of comic book superheroes Anglia Comics announced the development of its first live action project in 2009. The content of the project remained unknown until December 2010 when it was leaked by a member of the projects creative team, it is unknown if this leak was an accident by the person or a PR stunt by the company. The project was leaked to be a live action film of the superhero Nighthawk, the companies first character.
By 2011 the film was stuck in production hell as the company went through a creative "civil-war" which threatened the future of the company. Following these internal difficulties Mark Booth split from the company again in March 2011 and started Booth-Hopkins Productions.
