Let's be honest: A lot of comic-book teasers are pretty uninspired, offering such little information that it can sometimes be difficult to discern just what they're teasing. Happily, that's not the case with Titan Comics' imaginative teaser for Dan Boultwood's It Came! #1, which is jam-packed with hilarious detail.

Provided to ROBOT 6, the teaser takes the form of the front page from the Aug. 4, 1948 edition of the Trumpington Bugle, which breathlessly chronicles the destruction wrought by a giant space-robot -- or, "the tin-can evil," if you prefer -- on the town. where it trampled tractors and prize zucchini with little regard for either. All it's missing is narration by Orson Welles.

It's a fun way to give a last-minute push to what the publisher describes as "a knowing throwback to the heyday of low-budget SF cinema - in comic book form!" You can check out a preview of the first issue at Comic Book Resources. Boultwood's It Came! debuts Wednesday from Titan.
