Own Chris' 11 x 17" original art page of the bookplate for this collected book!
Angela Attenborough is a young, bored housewife of the 1950s… but her life is about to change beyond her wildest dreams! She’s about to be recruited by a future version of herself to a secret society of time-travellers known as The Time Breakers. Comprised of members drawn from the past, present and future, The Time Breakers are dedicated to the creation of time paradoxes, which they believe are instrumental to the creation of life itself. Their efforts bring them into a deadly conflict with The Knowers, a rival time-travelling cult who zealousy resist all forms of meddling in historical events.
Time Breakers was originally a five-issue comic book limited series published in 1997 by Helix (an imprint of DC Comics). It was written by the late Rachel Pollack and illustrated by Chris Weston. It has never been reprinted in English since its original publication… until now! This new edition will collect the whole story with a new cover and add a selection of pages rescanned from the original art.

Time Breakers created by Rachel Pollack and Chris Weston.
Dedicated to the memory of Rachel Pollack 1945-2023
“The prospect of seeing Time Breakers back in print is very exciting to me. The late, great Rachel Pollock wrote a neat little gem of a story and it will be lovely to see it land back in the hands of fans new and old! I was privileged to get to work with a writer who was ahead of her time and if this book can help bring more attention to Rachel's life and work I'll be very happy!” - Chris Weston
Chris Weston has been a professional comic strip artist since 1988, working on everything from 2000AD’s Judge Dredd to Swamp Thing, which led to work for Vertigo and DC Comics on The Invisibles, Starman, JSA, Lucifer, The Authority and Time Breakers. Chris co-produced The Filth and Ministry of Space with Grant Morrison and Warren Ellis respectively. He then moved to Marvel for Fantastic Four: First Family followed by The Twelve, with J. Michael Straczynski.
In 2008, Chris began to produce concept art and storyboards for films such as The Book of Eli and an unmade live action adaptation of Akira. He worked as a costume designer on Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi and the Star Wars: Andor TV show. Chris got to realize a lifetime ambition by co-designing Michael Keaton’s Bat-suits for The Flash movie. Most recently Chris has returned to comics and completed a six-part creator-owned mini-series for Dark Horse comics, yet to be announced.
$15,000 - 8 pages of extra backmatter will be added to the book
The files for the book are collected, and any extra backmatter will be completed during the campaign. Estimated delivery of final print ready files is May 2024. From that point it should take around 3-4 months to get printed and sent to the fulfillment center, so fulfillment for this campaign is estimated to be done in early Fall 2024..
Zoop will always be here to communicate with backers should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.
Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS
Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.
Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.
Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
