Breakout Doctor Who companion Captain Jack is back in a new ongoing Torchwood comic book series co-written by John Barrowman.
BBC Worldwide and Titan Comics announced the new series will debut at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with special guests including Captain Jack himself, John Barrowman, and Carole E. Barrowman.
“Torchwood #1 sees Captain Jack come back to Cardiff to engage the help of the last person who expected to see him again, Gwen Cooper! On the road, on the run, and under fire – can Jack and Gwen put aside their differences and rebuild the heart of Torchwood… before its flame is stamped out forever?!”
Alongside the regular edition (in comic book stores August 3), Titan will present a special convention edition of Torchwood which includes the entirety of Torchwood #1 plus extra fan-favorite John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman-penned adventure “The Selkie”, with art and a brand-new cover from fan-favorite artist Tommy Lee Edwards.
Barrowman first appeared as Captain Jack Harkness with the Ninth Doctor on the first of the new Doctor Who series before leading his own team and series Torchwood.
John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman will be guests on a special Titan panel where fans will be treated to announcements, behind-the-scenes reveals and upcoming plans for the Torchwood comic series. This panel will take place on Saturday July 23 at 3:30PM in room 5AB.
Fans will also have the opportunity to meet John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman at the show as they will be signing copies of Torchwood #1 on Sunday July 24 between 11:00am and 12:00pm at Autograph Area, Table AA21.
These regular and special editions are available to purchase at the Titan booth #5537 at San Diego Comic-Con 2016.
