THOUGHT BUBBLE MONTH 2026! It’s always reassuring to see new comics publishing ventures popping up on the UK scene given how many outlets we have lost over the last few years. Especially when they are filling a very distinct gap in the market. Cosmic Lighthouse is one such name to add to that list and they’ll be holding a special launch event this weekend at Thought Bubble.
Firstly, though, a little bit of background about them from their website: “Cosmic Lighthouse is the brainchild of comic creator, novelist and screenwriter Paul Cornell and Hugo nominated editor Lee Harris—a new comics company devoted to publishing original graphic novels by the greatest modern genre writers, paired with the world’s best artists. Our remit is to commission writers best known for their work in novels and other media to create original graphic novels, pairing them with the best artists, and introducing a number of writers new to the medium along the way.”
If you want to check out their first project there’s still a handful of days left to back the Kickstarter for Murderbot: The First Graphic Novel adapting Martha Wells’s The Murderbot Diaries series by the creative team of Erica Shultz, Gary Erskine, Yel Zamor and Simon Bowland.
On Friday November 13th at Thought Bubble Cosmic Lighthouse will also be putting on a launch event at the Everyman Cinema main bar at 6.30pm. Here’s the details:
Cosmic Lighthouse Launch Event: Cosmic Lighthouse is a new UK publisher working with some of the world’s best comics talent. Co-founders Paul Cornell and Lee Harris present an exclusive reveal of their forthcoming graphic novels, with creator signings (including SF superstar Adrian Tchaikovsky), a free Thought Bubble exclusive print (while stocks last) and the opportunity to pre-order exclusive Thought Bubble editions of the new titles. In association with Destination Venus.
Cosmic Lighthouse are at Table C29-30 in the Redshirt Hall at Thought Bubble.
Thought Bubble 2026 runs from November 9th-15th with the convention weekend taking place on the 14th-15th. More details on the Thought Bubble site here.
