Titan Comics Presents Best Of British Month All Through May!‏ #bestbritcomics

This May, Titan Comics launch ‘Best Of British’ month, celebrating cutting edge talent and supporting bold new visions!


Titan Comics’ Best of British stars the cream of British comic creators like Si Spurrier, PJ Holden, Rob Williams, D’Israeli, Alan Martin, Montynero and many more!



The celebrations are book-ended with two new creator-owned launches: action espionage mini-series Scarlett Couture by Doctor Who cover artist Des Taylor on April 29, and on May 27 dive into post-apocalyptic eco-horror Surface Tension from hotly-tipped rising star writer/artist Jay Gunn!
