Content is king at Harris Publications.

Publications in its Harris Tactical Group are focused on weaponry, with titles such as Tactical Knives and Combat Handguns. In contrast to its testosterone-laden titles, Harris Publications also publishes craft magazine Quilt. The company sold its "Revolver" music magazine to special-interest magazine publisher Future US in 2006.

Harris Comics

In 1983, Harris acquired the assets of the defunct Warren Publishing, and in the early 1990s briefly revived, in comic-book form, the company's well-known horror magazines Creepy and Vampirella. The latter has continued into the 2000s in various formats, including as a magazine containing both comics stories and non-fiction articles. Harris' Anarchy Studio imprint publishes manga comics featuring the characters Vampi and Xin. In January 2007 Fangoria Comics ^[1] made the announcement that the character Vampirella was now owned by Fangoria however in April Harris replied that this was not factual. ^[2] Harris recently started to release "Vampirella Quarterly".
