New comic Quantum coming to newsagents

[Steve T]

Time Bomb Comics is proud to announce Quantum, a new, physical comic magazine which will be available in newsagents across the UK and select international retailers, in a bold new step to reach a new audience.

Following on from the success of Time Bomb’s 2022 Gerry Anderson Spectrum anthology, Quantum will be available bi-monthly in WH Smith's, alongside independent newsagents. The title will also be available internationally, with distribution already secured in Germany, Sweden, Australia and the United States.

Quantum #1 will contain five stories, and begin four ongoing serials, each one set in a world alternate to our own. Full details of the stories themselves and the creators involved will be revealed soon. Time Bomb also plan to feature original articles about British indie comics.

Time Bomb Comics chief, Steve Tanner, spoke about his hopes for the new comic and for the decision to make Quantum a title mainly available through the distribution channels that were once traditionally used to reach comics readers but which most comics publishers now avoid:

“I think the response to Spectrum being on sale in WHSmith’s made us realise that there’s a whole readership out there that don’t buy comics online, at conventions or even comic shops. Quantum is what we’ve produced for those readers, but we’re hoping that a lot of our existing readers will come along for the ride – via their newsagent, of course!”

Quantum importantly also marks a new stage in Time Bomb’s story, with Steve stating, that Quantum is, “a first step; some of the things we have planned long-term as part of the Quantum project are things that genuinely haven’t been done before. Not just by an indie UK comics publisher. Not by any comics publisher. Ever.”

Quantum will be available in retail newsagents and select comic shops in late April and will have new issues available every 2 months.

If its anything like the distribution of monster fun comic up here then I will have no chance of finding it.

What great news.

I will definitely be interested.

Hopefully I can subscribe or buy online since my pool of newsagents (e.g. WHsmith) in my neck of the woods is pretty nonexistent.

Quantum No.1 hits newsagents today! If you do buy one over the next few weeks there's a chance to win the original cover artwork. See the screenshot for full details.

Did a hunt around in all my local shops/supermarkets to no avail.

Thanks Steve. Got a copy from WHSmiths in Redhill, Surrey.

Great read and definitely will be getting No.2 in July (though may ask where to get it ).

As of 1st May, the W H Smith at west end of Union Street in Aberdeen had five or six copies.

Found mine in wh Smith in Arbroath. That was after scouring the independent newsagents throughout Angus. (would rather buy from them than a chain store but never mind!)

A very good (but pricey!!) read btw

[SID]

It is also in WHSmith in Darlington. Glad they are supporting this (albeit at a price).

For those that enjoyed No.1, Quantum No.2 is now available through your local newsagents
