The Patrolman: Book One Heads to Kickstarter from Time Bomb
Reading time: 1 minute
The Patrolman: Book One will be available to pre-order via Kickstarter at the end of September. The new comic comes from writer Nick Twyford and artist Will Chetwynd. It will launch at Thought Bubble Comic Con in November, with both creators in attendance.
This title is one planned as part of the ongoing 20th anniversary of Time Bomb Comics. This is a huge milestone for any indie publisher. Publications will include new books, such as The Patrolman alongside 'definitive versions' of Time Bomb classics.
A Five-Volume Dystopian Saga
The Patrolman: Book One is the first of five, with a new volume planned for publication every six months. A dark, dystopian sci-fi series, The Patrolman is set in an alternate London ruled by a corrupt Lord Mayor and his corporate lackeys. When his heroic archnemesis, The Patrolman, dies, the bored Lord Mayor decides to train a replacement.
Commenting on The Patrolman and the planned release schedule, Time Bomb publisher Steve Tanner said:
"Nick and Will have created something special with The Patrolman, and I'm thrilled to be publishing it as Time Bomb approaches its 20th anniversary year. A new volume, every six months, until the full story can be told!"
Speaking on his hopes for the series, writer Nick Twyford commented:
"Patrolman is new, it's (hopefully) fresh, and if we've done our job right, it's interesting, exciting and funny. And even if I haven't, it's worth it alone for Will's art… We've been working on this for a long time. We're throwing everything at it and doing our best to get it right. Hopefully that enthusiasm and passion will show on the page."
