Creators featured in Volume One include:
Writers
Alexi Conman
Alexi Conman writes comics sometimes. He has scripted stories that have appeared in a varied range of anthologies (from publishers including Accent UK, Futurequake Press, and Image). His preference is for telling mildly off-beat cross-genre tales about the human condition, but he's usually willing to give anything a go. Also: he does do other things but he doesn't think you'd be interested to hear about it.
Corey Brotherson
Corey creates copy and content for websites, publishers, magazines and TV. He's also a published comic book writer: the co-creator/writer of Bad Luck Inc., L33tspeak, A Twilight's Promise, Fragile, The Twilight Cleaner, Magic of Myths and other forthcoming projects including several ongoing series' and full length graphic novel, Butterflies and Moths. Since 2000, Corey has worked as an editor, staff writer, producer and critic for over a dozen publications and companies, including Channel 4 Teletext's Game Central, Eurogamer, Games Domain, Sony, Yahoo, Official PS2 Mag, Vivendi Universal, ComiX-Fan, Electronic Arts, Sky One, Central/ITV, Boomtown, and more.

He has subsequently written several creator-owned series for Markosia, including Slaughterman’s Creed and The Indifference Engine and White Knuckle. Cy’s first creator-owned book, Cancertown: An Inconvenient Tooth was a major independent hit and a sequel, Cancertown: Blasphemous Tumours, is due for release in 2012. Recently he has joined the writing team of the Unseen Shadows transmedia project. Before turning to comics Cy was an award-winning freelance copywriter and editor. Prior to that he was a professional magician and, quite frankly, he’d rather not talk about that…
Darren Ellis
Darren Ellis is a writer from Wales with ideas above his station. He has a talent for raw, emotional stories about grief, despair, sorrow and pain, but he's quite cheerful if you catch him at the right moment. His previous work has included short stories in various Accent UK books and the Eagle award-nominated issue of Futurequake. This year he is due to appear in Mike Garley's "Dead Roots" anthology in addition to Bayou Arcana. Darren is currently working on some larger projects, including "Broken," a one-shot graphic novel for Accent UK and "Come & See," a limited series he is shipping around to publishers.
James Pearson
Jimmy has recently taken time out of Jedi Academy to explore his passion for writing; more specifically his passion for writing comic books. Having escaped the hellish penal island of Australia Jimmy washed up on British shores to find himself travelling amongst some of the most talented sequential artists and writers this fair land has to offer. He decided to try his hand at the noble art of the funny book and the result is three graphic novels: Bayou Arcana (published by Markosia May 1st), The Heart of War and The Melting Man (both published late 2012). Issue One (of nine) of his first mini-series, The Reckoning (a cross between Crimson Tide and Cloverfield) will also be available in May (published by What the Flux? Comics). At some stage Jimmy hopes to resume his Jedi training and combat evil tyranny across the universe.
Matthew Craig
Matthew Craig is a writer from the West Midlands whose comics work has been described as "entirely immune to the postmodern malaise."

Matthew Gibbs
Matt Gibbs is a freelance writer and editor. Originally an archaeologist, he spent several years grubbing about in holes before turning to writing as a career. He has worked on games such as Sega's Binary Domain and Ubisoft's Driver San Francisco, and is collaborating with a number of talented artists on comic and graphic novel projects.
Steve Tanner
Steve Tanner is the publisher behind the small but perfectly formed Time Bomb Comics - a British indie imprint based in Birmingham – which he uses to shamelessly promote his own work as well as much more talented creators. Beyond the Bayou Steve has also written stories for Fleetway, Atomeka, Murky Depths, The Sleepless Phoenix and Accent UK to name but a few, as well as contributing to the Spirit Of Hope charity anthology. He is currently writing “Dick Turpin and the Vengeful Shade”, his third historical horror romp featuring the notorious highwayman.
