Word has it that John Barrowman and sister Carole Barrowman are teaming up with artist Tommy Lee Edwards on Titan Publishing’s upcoming Torchwood comic book. The trio will work on a story titled “The Selkie” for the first part of issue #1. The rest of the first issue, and the next four issues, will be a story titled “Broken” by Gary Russell with art by Adrian Salmon.

Torchwood was originally a television series that spun-off from Doctor Who. The series follows Captain Jack Harkness, former companion of The Doctor, and his team of investigators who defend the Earth from the dangers that emerge through a space/time rift under the city of Cardiff, Wales. The first two seasons of Torchwood and the miniseries event Torchwood: Children of Earth are available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Torchwood: The Official Comic is expected to hit shelves on August 10, 2010.
