Titan Publishing has announced it is to publish a new six-issue Torchwood comic.

The first issue will include the story ‘Captain Jack and the Selkie’, which is co-written by star John Barrowman and his sister and frequent co-writer Carole E. Barrowman. The artwork is by Tommy Lee Edwards, who is currently working on the hit comic series Turf with Jonathan Ross.

‘Captain Jack and the Selkie’ previously ran in the official Torchwood Magazine, and sees Captain Jack heading out to a remote Scottish island where people are disappearing one by one.

The first issue also includes part one of the story ‘Broken’, written by Torchwood TV script editor Gary Russell, with artwork by Adrian Salmon (Doctor Who Magazine, Judge Dredd Megazine). This story sees Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto trapped inside a cosmic hotel.

Two collectible covers will be available for each issue - an art cover and a picture cover. British comic book artist Ian Churchill, whose work includes Superman for DC Comics and Avengers, Deadpool and X-Men for Marvel, has drawn the art cover for issue #1. An alternate art cover, also drawn by Churchill, will be available exclusively at this year's San Diego Comic Con.

Torchwood Comic issue 1 is available from 10 August 2010. For future information, visit: www.titanmagazines.com/torchwoodcomic
