Compupress is a Greek publishing company formed in 1982. Originally the company was formed in order to publish computer magazines and books. Following the decline of the computer magazine market, the company expanded to publish fantasy and science fiction, comic books and graphic novels, manga and children's magazines.2

The story

In 2006, Compupress launched World Military History (Παγκόσμια Πολεμική Ιστορία) entering the -already crowded- Greek military history magazine arena. The initial success of the magazine created a series of special editions carrying DVDs concerning various military subjects.

In 2008, responding to declining sales the magazine folded, however the thematic military "monographs" are still being published on a quasi-regular basis.

Products and brands

Business and trade magazines

In the mid-eighties, the company created a branch named Business Press through which it published magazines in the business area. Amongst these most prominent were Information and Today's Enterprise (Σύγχρονη Επιχείρηση), two publications that urged the Greek companies of that period to abandon older concepts and enter the informatics era. Both magazines did quite well for a few years but eventually folded during the early nineties.

In 1989, Compupress published Touristiki Agora (Τουριστική Αγορά), a trade monthly in the area of the Greek tourism industry. Touristiki Agora currently publishes Meet In Greece which is the only English-language Conference Guide currently published in Greece.

In 2001, the company launched Food Service, a trade monthly for the Food & Beverage market.

Consumer technology magazines

In 2003, the company launched Digital Living, a monthly magazine licensing material from Future Publishing's Digital Home and Hi-Fi Choice and having a well known movie as a covermount DVD. Initially the magazine was successful, but in less than two years declining circulation forced it to fold.

In November 2005, Compupress launched Mobile Magazine aimed at the mobile telephone users. By early 2006, the magazine had been incorporated as a supplement to Computers For All.

In November 2005, the company also launched Play-On! a cross-console monthly for the video-games market which proved to be extremely short-lived.
