B7 Comics is running a fundraiser for their new sci-fi mini-series 

B7 Media have made a name for themselves with audio dramas, such as Blake’s 7 and the terrific Dan Dare: The Audio Adventures.

Now, the company are expanding into the world of comics with their own imprint; B7 Comics launches with the science fiction mini-series Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies.

The story is written by the award-winning writer and editor John Freeman (Doctor Who), with art by Neil Edwards (Spider-Man, Superman). It’s coloured by Martin Baines and lettered by Jim Campbell.

Billed as a psychological science fiction adventure, here’s the premise:

Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies digs deep into the millennia old strata of our planet and unearths something… completely unknown. Dormant since long before the dinosaurs, it’s incomprehensible, ancient – and alien…

With the world transformed by environmental disaster, tensions rising between the Western Alliance and the Eastern Coalition, and space colonisation beyond the solar system now within easy reach, the discovery lying beneath the Antarctic ice promises to be a threat we have never faced before.

Some will go to extreme lengths to expose the enigma’s deadly secrets. And others will go even further to protect them…

Here’s writer John Freeman telling us a little more about the world of Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies…

Here at CultBox, we’ve been lucky enough to have seen a preview of the first issue. It’s a vivid, action-packed story with plenty of surprises – and we’re keen to read more.

The Kickstarter for Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies runs until Saturday, October 1^st and it’s nearly there! You can lend your support here and unlock artwork, t-shirts and more. You can also find out more about the world of Pligrim 2121, and read a special teaser story, at the official website.
