Plotted by Alan Moore; Written by Leah Moore and John Reppion; Art by Shane Oakley and George Freeman; Cover by Dave Gibbons

Rediscover the classic heroes of Britain's yesteryear in a new series that teams legendary Alan Moore as plotter with writers Leah Moore and John Reppion (WILD GIRL), artists Shane Oakley and George Freeman and cover artist Dave Gibbons (WATCHMEN)!

Britain never had any super-heroes. It had something much stranger: a collection of paragons, monsters, and clowns that vanished a quarter century ago, never to be seen again. Who were Robot Archie and the Steel Claw? Who was Captain Hurricane, or the Spider? And where have they been for 25 years? Find out in the spectacular and historic first issue of Albion!

Not bad, and apparently Moore's involvement with plotting goes as far as dictating large chunks of dialogue and action, not just providing a rough framework. So his involvement's a bit more than you might think at first (I'd guess he's not taking a writing credit because he wants the recognition to go to his daughter).
