This new Doc Savage collection from Dynamite features a cover by Commando cover artist Ken Barr

Here’s this week’s list of comics – both US and UK releases – on sale in specialist UK comic shops tomorrow, Wednesday 21st January 2015. We’ve picked out the titles published by British publishers in bold below, or titles with a British connection we’re aware of, including cover artists.

One item that may well be worth tracking down is Bleeding Cool Magazine #14, which includes a new interview with Alan Moore about his work on the Avatar Press title Crossed Plus 100. Regular readers will know that Alan rarely discusses comics these days, so you may well be interested in his insights into why he heeded the siren song of the Crossed universe and created the +100 storyline, from its forward-thinking scope to what horrors still lie in store for struggling humanity.

Alongside 2000AD (and we’ll be bringing you a tie-in interview with writer Arthur Wyatt by Matt Badham here to tie in with that on Wednesday). Titan Comics have two new Madefire Comics tie-ins out this week, as well as the latest issue of 13 Coins with art from Simon Bisley. Plus, don’t miss the latest issues of the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor’s Doctor Who comics, the latter featuring a great cover by Brian Williamson.

Don’t forget that despite many British publishers lack of faith in full-blown cover to cover comic strip action and humour, there are still comics on sale in newsagents that still delight in bringing you such subversive delights, including The Beano and Commando, with great strips featuring in titles such as Judge Dredd Megazine, Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who Adventures, TOXIC, VIZ and many more.

Marvel Master Works Uncanny X-Men Hard Cover Volume 9
Writer: Chris Claremont Artist: Various Cover Artist: Paul Smith

The Uncanny X-Men had become the biggest franchise in comic books by 1982.

With culmination of Paul Smith’s classic run-featuring the growing romance between Kitty Pryde and Colossus, the first appearance of Callisto and the Morlocks, Rogue’s debut as an X-Man, and the wedding of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor-this Marvel Masterworks is nothing short of a marathon of mutant milestones! Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #168-175, UNCANNY X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #7, MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL #5 and WOLVERINE (1982) #1-4.

Crossed Plus 100 #2 (Mature Readers)
Writer: Alan Moore Artist/Cover Artist: Gabriel Andrade (Variant Covers)

Alan Moore places his unique stamp upon the Crossed universe, as he and artist Gabriel Andrade paint a vivid picture of the future 100 years after the outbreak! Future Taylor leads a salvage team that is exploring the ruins of Tennessee. She tries to piece together the past, while they gather supplies for the future. Together with the settlement of Chooga, they take the tentative steps of a new generation as they attempt to understand the horror that nearly wiped out the human race. But disturbing threads emerge, some sightings of Crossed occur, and a century-old mystery begins to be revealed. This multi-layered story delivers a new brand of horror to Crossed fans at the hands of the scribe that redefined the comics medium. Enter Alan Moore’s world of grueling survival with Crossed +100.

This masterwork is a self-contained whole new world, no prior knowledge of the Crossed series is needed.

All the covers for the series have been planned out by Alan Moore, with the images enriching and expanding on the series. Clues and glimpses of what came before, and what might be, are found throughout the variant covers.

American History X Wraparound – Each of these will depict a specific time in the past hundred years, showing how things have changed and offering a peek at some key events. Each cover will display the year in which it takes place to help build the full picture.

Crossed Culture – These are all images of how the Crossed have changed the way they live. With few humans left to hunt, and the animal kingdom thriving with predators, even the thrill-driven Crossed have had to make adjustments to their lifestyle.

Future Tense – Each cover is a homage to a famous work of science fiction, and each of those original works ties into themes of this series.

New World Order Wraparound – These are not for the faint of heart or delicate of constitution. We can’t even picture them in this catalog, they are visions of what an ideal all-Crossed world would be. If the madmen have their dreams come true, what would the everyday life look like? These covers are brutally intense images of true horror and may have scenes of torture, depravity, and nudity. These are clearly for adults only. Each copy of this edition will ship in a sealed polybag with a protective slip cover over the actual image to assure it can be racked in stores. The graphic pictured here is the slip cover only. Due to all these special protective measures this edition is strictly limited to initial orders.

Also available with Retailer Incentive covers of Red Crossed and Design Sketch, showing the original works of series artist Gabriel Andrade. Don’t miss out on the ultra-rare CGC Numbered Edition as well.

Fatherland Family History Graphic Novel
Writer and Artist: Nina Bunjevac

This powerful, disturbing story, which makes for uneasy reading, was released by Random House last year in the UK

A bomb, an explosion, and the death of a father form the core of this gripping graphic memoir.

Standing alongside Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis and Joe Sacco’s Palestine, Nina Bunjevac’s Fatherland is a searing work of graphic nonfiction that tells the history of the Balkans in the twentieth century through the experiences of the author.

In 1975, Bunjevac’s mother flees her marriage and adopted country of Canada, taking Nina – then only a toddler – and her older sister back to Yugoslavia to live with her parents. Nina’s father, Peter, was a diehard Serbian nationalist who had been forced to leave his country in the 1950s. Remaining in Canada, Peter became involved with a terrorist organization bent on overthrowing the Communist Yugoslav government and attacking its supporters in North America.

Through exquisitely haunting black-and white art, Fatherland tells an unforgettable true story of how the scars of history are borne by family and nation alike.
