Even if you’re not a fan of Dan Dare there is something here for you. @alexdecampi.bsky.social has written a superb sci fi trilogy that honours the past but is full updated for today - This is not your grandad’s Dan Dare and I’m hugely honoured and excited to bring it to life - Kickstarting in 2026

I was a bit worried about the clickbaity headline but this is actually a very good and knowledgeable look at Dan Dare and his legacy—and goes into some of the reasons I was so interested in working on this book

Swamp Thing sketch cover commission completed.

A HUGE thank you to all the readers old and new for popping by my table this weekend at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Thank you for the interesting chats, the chance to see new emerging artist’s work, for buying my books, prints and artwork. It is you that make the festival special.

Does DAN DARE: FIRST CONTACT honor Frank Hampson’s work and vision? Yes. Is it also accessible to someone who’s never read Dan Dare? Absolutely. Is Digby still from Wigan? You bet. If you like action-packed space opera with great art, sign up: www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...

Great to see @artofchrisimber.bsky.social @davidbaillie.bsky.social @hpmatt.bsky.social @andylanning.bsky.social @bobgoblynn.bsky.social @robwilliams71.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social @duncanfegredo.bsky.social @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social @getcampbell.bsky.social Anthony Williams Steve Yeowell

What a powerhouse team on this book! @alexdecampi.bsky.social and @marclaming.bsky.social are both severely underrated, especially for how long they've been at this. They should both be superstars. I'm sure this book will be amazing!

That’s another @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in the books! Another fantastic show - thank yous to @okaychloegreen.bsky.social and her team for making this the best UK show. A weekend spent with many of my favourite people -comics people are still the best people.

My new art book is here! Come find me at table A23 in the 2000ad hall at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social

Dan Dare relaunched as graphic novel project from B7 Comics downthetubes.net/dan-dare-rel...

Coming via Kickstarter in 2026 from @b7media.bsky.social written by @alexdecampi.bsky.social and art by me.

Also rumors that I am only doing this because @arthurwyatt.bsky.social said Dan Dare could never be made exciting and I was like “challenge accepted” are patently false. I was well into scripting already

Anyway if you’re a Dan Dare fan I am happy to answer (respectful) questions on a no-spoilers basis

I have arrived in Harrogate

Dan Dare is back again! A dying planet, a desperate mission – and a first contact that may spell the end of human life as we know it… "A crowdfunding campaign for Book One, First Contact, will launch on 1st February 2026". By @marclaming.bsky.social & @alexdecampi.bsky.social

This is what I worked on all summer: an 80-page Dan Dare graphic novella (the first of three), in collab with the incomparable @marclaming.bsky.social, @b7media.bsky.social, and The Dan Dare Corp. If you’re at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, free prints at B7’s booth! And go say hi to Marc, too

I’ve known @marclaming.bsky.social forever (our first work together was on a Conan story for Dark Horse a million years ago) and I’m SO thrilled to work with him on this. Marc is a massive Frank Hampson stan so aside from Marc’s brilliant art he has a true love for Dan Dare

Very excited to be able to announce @b7comics.bsky.social new Dan Dare graphic novel trilogy with @alexdecampi.bsky.social and @marclaming.bsky.social. Alex and Marc’s take on Dan Dare immediately feels fresh and exciting and at times terrifying. Sign up to the Kickstarter page here > qrco.de/bgReXw

The car is loaded. I’m having a leisurely breakfast. It’ll then be time to drive up to Harrogate for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social and it is lashing down with rain. So that will be fun.

Words to live by!

In a world where cruelty appears to be the default... be kind* *that doesn't mean be quiet or accept what's wrong.
