The new all-ages title SHIFT-IT, from the publishers of SHIFT, will be in shops across the UK from 20th December.
Offering a plethora of amazing stories, puzzles and more, this Winter Special is in aid of Evelina London Children’s Hospital and comes ahead of the launch of a regular title in 2025, alongside publisher Get My Comics other titles – books and comics.
Available to pre-order now, the SHIFT-IT Winter Special features these fantastic full colour stories: “Beast Hunting Battle Badgers”, “Privet Investigations”, “Learn to Speak Cat”, “Tara Togs”, “Robot City”, and “A Study in Scarlet”.
We’ve had a sneak peek at the Winter Special and it’s very entertaining. If you’re a fan of European anthology formats like SPIROU, mashing up humour and adventure together – just like British comics like Buster and The Beano used to – then you should definitely check this new title out.
I’m delighted to hear a one-off project has transitioned to an ongoing title.
“We’ve made this comic in aid of Evelina London Children’s Hospital to support them and raise awareness for the incredible work they do,” publisher Adrian Clarke explains. “Every copy purchased goes towards this goal!
“This is obviously very close to our hearts after the support they’ve given us the last few years, and it would mean the world to us to give back to them!”
The 60 page Winter Special will be released 11th December (and in stores from 20th December 2024), and is available in a number of formats. Preorder your copy here from the SHIFT store
