Speaking on what it means to be publishing the Comic Scene Yearbook 2026, Time Bomb Publisher Steve Tanner said:
“Comic Scene has promoted and spotlighted British comics, past and present, for the last several years, and the Yearbook is a real celebration of that. I’m delighted that Time Bomb can now regularly be part of those celebrations through the Comic Scene imprint!”
