Brand new publisher bursts onto the scene with something

to excite comic fans, YA readers and Anglophiles alike.

Having established themselves as a presence at U.K. comic cons over the last six months, Wild River Comics are ready to launch their long-awaited Kickstarter campaign for their first title, Daughters of Albionissue 1!

Co-creators Denis Phan and Trevor Jayakody have been working tirelessly behind the scenes with artist Matt Timson, colourist Marco Lesko, letterer Jim Campbell, and editor Martin Eden to get this first issue ready.

“This is an exciting time for Wild River Comics, and we’re glad to finally share some of what we’ve been working on,” says co-creator, writer and head of Wild River Comics, Denis Phan.

Daughters of Albion #1 introduces readers to an alternate London where magic and technology co-exist. When cyberpunk hacker Hashani discovers a magical amulet dropped by two strange beings, she and her friends start to uncover the mysteries of Albion, which has been simmering beneath the surface all along.
