Cover to Albion issue 1, by Dave Gibbons. Albion is a six-issue comic book series plotted by Alan Moore, written by his daughter Leah Moore and her husband John Reppion, with covers by Dave Gibbons and art by Shane Oakley and George Freeman. As a result of a deal forged by Vice President Bob Wayne of DC Comics and Publishing Director Andrew Sumner of IPC Media, it was published through DC Comics' WildStorm imprint. The series aimed to revive classic IPC-owned British comics characters such as Captain Hurricane, Robot Archie, The Steel Claw and The Spider (as well as minor characters like Fishboy and Faceache), all of whom appeared in comics published by Odhams Press and later IPC Media during the 1960s and early 1970s, such as Valiant and Lion.
Albion is in Western New York, Orleans County on the NYS Erie Barge Canal and in the center of a rich farming region. Albion is 30 miles west of Rochester, 50 miles east of Buffalo, 20 miles North of Batavia and 12 miles South of Lake Ontario.
The Albion Tigers got another dominant pitching performance, this time from left-hander Kris Agnew, and beat the Evansville Jays 9-1 on Memorial Day in Evansville. Agnew went the distance, allowing seven hits and only one run while striking out 13 and earning his first win of the year in league play. Albion is now 5-0 in Southeast Section play, and sits in first place in the West division.

The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard was established in 1869 as the first dry dock on the Pacific Coast, one year before the Albion Castle was built. During World War II it became a huge military shipbuilding and repair operation. It was later used as a military research institute. As is typical of naval operations of the time there was little regard paid the local environment or the impact of their operations. As a result their messy operations and the former Navy shipyard's proximity to the Albion Castle's fresh water spring--which at the time was the source for the Mountain Spring And Water Company water bottling operation--helped elevate its status to one of the nation's top super fund sites. (see EPA quote below) The pollutants left behind by the massive ship-building and repair operation, the military facilities and the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory Program include various radionuclides, primarily radium 226.

Albion, a small town in central Nebraska, was founded in 1872. Albion has a population of about 1,916 and its elevation is 1,746 feet above sea level. Albion is the county seat of Boone county. The first settler of Boone county filed on a homestead claim near Albion in April, 1871. In 1880 and 1881, Albion grew rapidly due to a rush of immigration to America and the construction of the railroad which goes through Albion.
