"Rediscover the classic heroes of Britainıs yesteryear in a new series. Britain never had any super-heroes. It had something much stranger: a collection of paragons, monsters, and clowns that vanished a quarter century ago, never to be seen again. Who were Robot Archie and the Steel Claw? Who was Captain Hurricane, or the Spider? And where have they been for 25 years? Find out in the spectacular and historic first issue of Albion."

" So what would everyone's favorite Czarnian do? For starters, he'd go looking for the Easter Bunny, who still owes him the money from the Santa hit. Only one hitch: There's no Easter Bunny in the WildStorm Universe! Chaos ensues!"
