B7 Comics (the comic book imprint of B7 Media) has teamed up with bestselling author and screenwriter Alex de Campi (Rogue Trooper: Ghost Patrol and Duncan Jones’ Madi: Once Upon A Time in the Future) and Marc Laming (James Bond, Eden, Endeavour) for a three-book reimagining of the classic British adventure strip Dan Dare, with the full approval of the rights holders The Dan Dare Corporation.

“A dying planet, a desperate mission—and a first contact that may spell the end of human life as we know it…” sets the scene for these all-new Dan Dare comic book adventures.

A crowdfunding campaign for Book One “First Contact” will officially launch on 1 February 2026 and, if successful, Dan Dare: First Contact will be published in Q4 2027. The script for Book One has already been written, and Marc is itching for take-off – and, in fact, has already drawn some early concept art!
Stay tuned as we count down to project launch, as we will be posting the first eight fully lettered and coloured pages of the book on the Kickstarter campaign page.

Dan Dare: First Contact is a circa 112-page, graphic novel which will be offered as an eBook, paperback, hardback and premium Kickstarter-exclusive hardback edition.

Please join producers Andrew Mark Sewell and Matthew Devlen at the Raindance Film Festival in reminiscing about the unforgettable journey of making "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont" with the late, great Dan Ireland — including the now-legendary film backlot created near Hyde Park that brought the film to life for less than a million quid, at a time when many said it couldn’t be done in London. You'll also have a chance to connect with cast & crew, reuniting for the first time in 20 years. https://raindance.eventive.org/schedule/mrs-palfrey-at-the-claremont-q-a-with-filmmakers-682b786a559b18dda073a216

Awards nomination klaxon! Our World War II audio drama “Unsinkable” (a .media co-production with Datura Studios, North Atlantic Ridge and AudioMarvels) has been nominated for a Webby at the 29th Annual Webby Awards. We are now competing for the internet’s two most coveted Awards (their words not ours) - The Webby Award and The Webby People’s Voice Award.

In addition to the WeBBY nomination UNSINKABLE has also just been nominated by the UK’s Radio Academy for Best Drama. You can see all the nominations here https://www.radioacademy.org/2025-arias-nominees/

That’s the 4th major nomination the show’s received and for a collective of boutique indies competing against the likes of Audible and the BBC we’re certainly punching above our weight. These nominations are especially pleasing given that this series was rejected by all the major audio platforms, was independently financed and was the No. 1 fiction podcast in several territories. Huge kudos to the cast and crew.

There's a little less than 24hrs to contribute to our crowdfund for the audio drama "Harry's Home".

While hitting our target would be amazing (but now not possible), another £1k will allow us to record the script, whilst we secure funding for the post production.

We are increasingly reading and hearing more and more about Dementia and Alzheimer's disease and the impact it's having on families and friends. While some forms are genetic, most are lifestyle based. Not everybody will develop dementia. But many people will, and it's often hard to acknowledge that one day it might affect you, directly or indirectly.

"Harry's Home" isn't really about Dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It's about his family - and that's something many of us can relate to. I certainly can having lost my father to Dementia.

This audio drama promotes understanding and empathy. It's not being made to scare or preach. But if we CAN make it, we really think it'll make a big difference to those who hear it.

Visit the link below and take a look at some of the support tiers available, including "Remember Me" credits.
