One Battle After Another and Adolescence dominate 83rd Golden Globes

I’m quietly optimistic for the year ahead with the promise of more graphic novels - not least the return of the pilot of the future and a return to indie films. Always looking for fellow conspirators. Here’s a little taster of @b7media.bsky.social @b7comics.bsky.social projects for 2026 :-)

Still so much uncertainty for UK publishers surrounding these tariff announcements :-(

Marc is amazing, people are rightly gaga over his ENDEAVOUR book at @dstlry.bsky.social but you ain’t seen nothin yet—wait until you see his DAN DARE

Before I dive headlong into the festive break, I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and here's hoping that 2026 is a little kinder and full of exciting creative opportunities.

A tragic and heart breaking end to one of Hollywood’s most revered and brilliant directors of such iconic films like "Stand By Me," "The Princess Bride," and "When Harry Met Sally...". #RIPRobReiner

More Endeavour #2 out 12/17/26

Without a doubt one of my favourite actresses 😍

A key piece of radio history given its due finally @b7media.bsky.social @soundliness.com @amsewell.bsky.social @neilkbrand.bsky.social scifibulletin.com/2025/11/26/t...

This is one is for my Dad. Dan Dare is back in what we hope will be a series of oversized graphic novels by @alexdecampi.bsky.social myself and the good folks at @b7media.bsky.social. The Kickstarter launches in February 2026 - go here to register your interest www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...

Details on the latest revival of Dan Dare @amsewell.bsky.social @b7media.bsky.social scifibulletin.com/2025/11/15/d...

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

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

As @johnfreeman.bsky.social alludes to in his news roundup downthetubes.net/in-brief-a-r... about this weekend’s @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social @b7media.bsky.social @b7comics.bsky.social will be announcing a very exciting new project. Stay tuned for the officially announcement @10am tomorrow morning!

Just finished reading Tony Hancock: The Lad Himself album from @b7media.bsky.social . Stephen Walsh and Keith Paige have done a fantastic job here, fully capturing the Hancock and the period and I can't recommend it enough. Art wise there's a touch of prime Dave Sim going on - another big plus.

Oh crap 😢 A mesmerising actor. Such piercing blue eyes. So many stand out roles, but for me perhaps the most memorable was Troy in “Far From the Madding Crowd” and of course General Zod in the second Christopher Reeve “Superman” film. variety.com/2025/film/ne... #RIPTerenceStamp

Where’d you hide my Easter eggs?! #HappyEaster

Didn’t get a chance to go inside, but I do love an impressive castle. Built following the Battle of Hastings, Lewes Castle is a 1000-year-old Norman fortress constructed originally by supporters of William the Conqueror. #lewescastle
