Somewhere in Time: The Graphic Album

PR Campaign
Wednesday 4th November, 2026

Iron Maiden and Z2 Comics are turning every song on Iron Maiden’s 1986 album *Somewhere in Time* into a graphic novel, with Eddie reimagined as a gun-wielding cyborg in the far future. The adaptation brings together a large cast of comics creators, with special editions featuring exclusive artwork and signed items.

Why it worked: It hit a built-in anniversary-adjacent nostalgia vein with a concrete release date and star creators, converting album lore into a collectible news hook.

The lesson: Consider translating a beloved back-catalogue or cult favourite into a dated, limited-run physical format with named guest collaborators and pre-order exclusives.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?
