September 2027 will mark the 20th anniversary of publishing for Birmingham-based British indie publisher Time Bomb Comics. A huge occasion for any indie publisher, celebrations will begin in September 2026, and will include the publications of three books over the course of the year. This will include “definitive editions” of past titles, alongside new books.
The first of these, Amnesia Agents – The Collected Edition, is a full colour graphic novel by writer Jason Cobley and artist James Gray. It collects the original 2018 graphic novella, along with the strips from Time Bomb’s popular Brawler anthology, as well as some brand-new material that frames and completes the story.
Amnesia Agents – The Collected Edition will be officially launched at the High Vis Comic Con taking place in King’s Heath, Birmingham on 19th September 2026, with the creators in attendance.
Imagine if you could go back and change your memory of an event, or even a person. Imagine if you could open a cupboard and find everything you had ever forgotten: how to do algebra; that cute girl’s phone number; where you’d left the nuclear codes. With the help of the Amnesia Agents, it is possible.
There is a physical place that your memories go when they are forgotten – they are destined for a distant and ephemeral land called Echo. Sometimes, they are stolen by evil forces and it is the job of the Amnesia Agents to track them down.
Persephone Mills and Theseus Brown, recruited from traumatic lives that they wanted to forget, are the Amnesia Agents. Remember those names – if you can…
Coming Soon: The Patrolman
Time Bomb’ celebrations continue with the launch of The Patrolman Book One, from writer Nick Twyord and artist Will Chetwynd, the first in a five book crime series set in an alternate London.
The Patrolman Book One will be officially launched at the Thought Bubble Comic Convention taking place at Harrogate in November 2026, with the creators in attendance.
In a London fallen to gang control, sealed off from the rest of the world, retired super criminal Theo Deviant is bored.
Corrupt corporations run the city, trading with the rest of the world, offending his anarchist instincts. He realises the only person able to restore London and bring down the Lord Mayor, the enigmatic figure controlling the gangs, is the Patrolman, his deceased vigilante nemesis.
It’s up to him to train a new Patrolman to take the city back.
