Repackaged for shops, in staple-bound 64-page format, with a brand new one page colour strip, the title, on sale next month, is part of of the publisher’s line of SHIFT Presents… titles, bringing amazing creators and publishers to shelves around the country.

This special edition of Spacewarp is produced with Millsverse Publications and Pat Mills, creator of 2000AD and developer of Judge Dredd.

Spacewarp is a British Science Fiction comic of great new hero comic strips for the Science Fiction world we live in today. Featuring “Special Forces One” at war with Giant Viruses, “Jurassic Punks” versus Dinosaurs! “Xecutioners” – authorised to terminate Aliens! “Slayer” – one Robot in a Galactic war against a million Space Knights. Plus, “Hellbreaker” escapes from Hell to punish the Living, and “Fu-tant”, too – a terrifying school for Mutants! All interacting in a unique Spacewarp Universe!

Inventive, action-packed, heartfelt, heroic, humorous, fast-paced and fantastic value for money – as only the Brits know how.

Aimed at “ordinary readers of all ages”, SHIFT Presents Spacewarp newsstand edition is being made available online first, and will be posted early July – several weeks before release in shops. Online orders come with an art print of the cover.

As we previously reported, the team at GetMyComics, publishers of the SHIFT anthology and distributors of a wide range of comics to British comic shops, is working with a number of independent publishers and creators on SHIFT Presents…, a brilliant new project to bring their comics to an unsuspecting public through high street newsagents across the UK.

Running alongside GetMyComics flagship SHIFT title, SHIFT Presents… is a series of self-contained collections or stories in either the SHIFT format, or UK magazine size.

Because SHIFT has already secured a placement in over 1500 newsagents across the UK, SHIFT Presents… is an extension of the title and not a separate publication requiring additional distribution costs to bring to the news stand.
