'''''FutureQuake''''' was a British small press comic book founded by Arthur Wyatt, and later edited by Richmond Clements, David Evans and Owen Watts. Dedicated to showcasing work by new writers and artists, they published mostly self-contained comic stories, generally of 5 pages or less and usually of a sci-fi/fantasy/horror bent.
Under their FutureQuake Press imprint ('''FQP''') they also published the Japanese Manga-influenced anthology ''Manga Quake'' and the horror comic ''Something Wicked''. FQP also published other comics, and took over ''Dog breath'', the ''Strontium Dog'' fanzine and ''Zarjaz'', the general ''2000 AD'' fanzine.
39 issues of ''FutureQuake'' were published until publication went on hiatus following the death of David Evans in May 2021.
==Contributors== ''FutureQuake'' played host to a wide range of contributors, including first time writers and artists, up-and-coming small press personalities and established creators.
