A1 Annual #1 - Volume One

A1 has always been a laboratory for creators to experiment and innovate, to break away from corporate creations and unleash their own ideas. Already proving a success with the new monthly comic book, this first all-new A1 Annual marks the thrilling return of the award-winning graphic anthology series to bookshelves everywhere!

Inside these oversized pages, a Who’s Who of comics talent – past, present and future – spreads their imaginative wings across a gripping selection of all-new short stories. Which ones will be the breakout creator-owned characters of tomorrow?!

Note: The A1 Annual is NOT a collection of the monthly A1 comic – it is ALL-NEW MATERIAL!
