About us
Big Punch Studios create and publish amazing comics, games and podcasts. We’re the team behind the creator-owned series Afterlife Inc., 7STRING, Extraversal and Cat & Meringue, and Sandwich Masters, a fast-paced card game about strategy, sabotage and (you guessed it) sandwiches. When not writing, drawing or touring, we produce A Show Called Hate, a comedy podcast about love, hate and everything in between. Welcome to our worlds.
In 2022, Big Punch Studios was named as one of SoGlos’ 40 under 40 Gloucestershire businesses.
Afterlife Inc. is 10 years old!
Afterlife Inc. has turned 10 years old, and to celebrate we’re releasing the entire series to date (that’s six volumes’ worth of stories and over 800 pages) as two luxury A4 hardbacks: the Book of Life and the Book of Death. What’s more, all individual volumes are also available as add-ons for only £10 each (including the never-before-seen Volume 6: The Great Gig in the Sky).
Missed out on the Kickstarter campaign? Don't worry: our pre-order store is now open! Grab your books, add-ons and extras and we'll fulfil them at the same time as our Kickstarter rewards - simple! Thank you for helping us celebrate a decade of independent publishing!
