Albion brings back forgotten British comic characters in a project conceived by Alan Moore and written by his daughter Leah Moore with co-writer John Reppion. The series imagines a world where the heroes of postwar British comics have been imprisoned and forgotten.

The project reflects Moore’s affection for the comics he read growing up in 1950s and 60s Britain. Characters like The Steel Claw, Battler Britton, and Thunderbolt Jaxon appear alongside other obscure but beloved figures from British comics history.

Related volumes collect classic stories featuring these characters, providing context for readers unfamiliar with the original source material. The project is both a story in its own right and a preservation of British comics heritage.
