After a prolonged absence from comic shops,
Comics International is finally about to return to the stands -- and is offering its readers the opportunity to win a
ClanDestine original specially drawn for the competition by British writer/artist
Alan Davis, the creator of the Marvel series.

Featuring four alternate covers (see below) and priced at the usual £2.99/$4.99, the special 116-page issue includes an interview with Alan about his plans for his superpowered family as well as a host of regular of regular features and numerous other exclusives, among them:
