Atomic Studios was founded in 1989 by Principal, Gary Guzzo, to fill a void left by the sale of his comic book shop, Amazing Tales, and his trade-show staging company, International Video. With years of experience in radio, televison production, live event production, tradeshow design and production, as well as teaching web design at the Westchester Art Workshop, Atomic Studios was designed to bring together Art and Technology - and provide services to a variety of clients through all aspects of media.

After completing a major promotion for Marvel Comics, Gary found himself as Marvel's Director of Publicity, while still furthering Atomic Studios accomplishments utilizing a variety of freelance talent from the NY City area.

It was at Marvel Comics that Gary met Dawn Guzzo, a long-time designer for Marvel and, as Production Manager, the head of the legendary Marvel Bullpen. Gary and Dawn soon escaped to the Arizona Desert where, in a traditional Navajo ceremony, they were married.

Upon their return to NY, the Guzzo's continued to build Atomic Studios, and, after much consideration, moved the business to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. With their full attention directed on Atomic Studios, the Guzzo's have built a state of the art facility three blocks from the ocean and continue to produce cutting edge graphic design utilizing a freelance staff from both the NY area, and the talent pool of Maine.

In 2008, the Guzzo's decided to open an additional office for Atomic Studios in Westchester Country, NY, where they could once again design and produce materials for corporate and entertainment clients. The expanded Atomic Studios has added additional services and personnel to further enhance their services. The Guzzo's move back and forth between their compound in Maine and their NY location as needed.

In addition, the Guzzo's have returned to the creative side through partnerships in UltraCool Media in New York City, and DoggWorks in LA.
