The Vigilant, the first title in the “Rebellion-verse” from 2000AD‘s publishers has already been announced as a one-shot title in August featuring classic British comic superheroes, but now, comics store Forbidden Planet has revealed its variant cover by Trevor Hairsine for the title.
When the evil forces of Von Hoffman and Dr Mesmer team up and pluck the immortal Adam Eterno from the winds of time, all of reality is under threat!

Only The Vigilant – a mighty team composed of super-beings, warlocks, warriors and monsters stand between us and total chaos! Join The Leopard from Lime Street, Steel Commando, Dr. Sin, Pete’s Pocket Army, Blake Edmonds, Yäo and Thunderbolt the Avenger on their premiere adventure.
London’s Forbidden Planet Megastore will be hosting a Vigilant signing on Saturday 18th August (1 – 2.00pm) with writer Simon Furman, and artist Simon Coleby.
