Quality Communications

Quality Communications is a publishing company founded by Dez Skinn in 1982, initially to publish the groundbreaking anthology title Warrior. From 1986 until at least 1988, Quality published a line of reprint anthologies presenting repackaged and usually (and often somewhat erratically) colourised old British comics material, much of it from 2000AD but also from other IPC/Fleetway titles (examples being the Steel Claw and Amadeus Wolf), for the American market (these titles were also available in Britain). They took over publication of this line, which carried the name Quality Comics, from Eagle Comics, who had held the 2000AD reprint licence from 1983 to 1986. From about 1989-1991, this line carried the publisher information Fleetway/Quality (all the reprints being in black & white by 1990). From 1990 to 2006, Quality also published the trade magazine Comics International, and in 2008 they took over publishing The Jack Kirby Quarterly.
