We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sam Kieth. From The Maxx to his work across comics, Sam brought a completely unique look and voice to the industry. His art was raw and unmistakably his. Sam's influence will be felt for generations. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

Celebrating @WorldBookDayUK Big thank you to @ForbiddenPlanet #Croydon.... for bringing your shop to us and for the great prizes. Students loved it! #WorldBookDay #GoAllIn #NationalYearOfReading2026 #WorldBookDay2026
