Titan's upcoming Captain Kronos comic will feature special 'Hammer Glamour' variant covers showcasing Caroline Munro, whose long film career included the role of 'Carla' in the 1974 Captain Kronos movie. Caroline will be one of the guests at Preston Comic Con this Saturday (23rd September) so come along and meet her! (I'll be there too, but I'm nowhere near as glamourous.)

Arriving in September from Titan Comics is Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter No.1, the first in a four issue mini-series. With the superb creative team of Dan Abnett on scripts and Tom Mandrake on art, this promises to be good!
Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter is part of Titan's line of comics based on Hammer movie properties and is inspired by the 1974 film of the same name. A Captain Kronos strip appeared in House of Hammer magazine back in 1976 but this comic features all-new material.
There's some very interesting comics coming from Titan over the coming months and I'll post news about them at a later date.
