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.
FutureQuake played host to a wide range of contributors, including first time writers and artists, up-and-coming small press personalities and established creators. Issues featured the likes of Alan Grant, Arthur Ranson, Al Ewing, Stewart McKenny, PJ Holden, Arthur Wyatt, Inaki Miranda & Eva de la Cruz, Adrian Bamforth, Matt Timson, Michael Molcher, Paul Scott and Charlie Adlard.
In 2021, FutureQuake staff included art/commissioning editor Dave Evans, script editor Richmond Clements, editor Owen Watts, and webmaster Barny Shergold.
Previous members include founder and sole editor for issues 1-3 Arthur Wyatt, script editor James Mackay, and script editor Edward Berridge.
Though FutureQuake was open to any form of submission from anyone who chose to do so, there were certain forms and themes to which the comic adheres. As an anthology, the stories often featured a moralistic 'twist' at the end, much in the same style as EC Comics's science fiction and horror comics like Weird Science and The Vault of Horror, as well as 2000 AD's Future Shocks. However, the stories were not necessarily bound by this.

Mang aQuake moves away from the FutureQuake format, opting instead for longer stories less reliant on the narrative structure of the 'twist', clearly influenced by the Japanese manga comics form.
Something Wicked was the third title launched. The horror comic directly parallels and references the horror titles published by EC Comics and those published by Atlas during the 1950s.
There have been ten issues so far.[ when?]
