Dread & Alive is the first superhero comic book with a Jamaican as the protagonist. Created and written by Nicholas Da Silva, the story follows Drew McIntosh and his heroic exploits in the urban landscape of San Francisco and rural Jamaica after being empowered by a sacred amulet created by the Jamaican Maroons. Dread & Alive’s stunning imagery capture the magic and the mystery of the epic fantasy storyline.

Inspired by the Dread & Alive comic book, The Lost Tapes music compilation is a musical journey designed to accompany the comic book. We are very pleased that the Jamaica Gleaner has called Dread & Alive “new territory in the collusion of art and Jamaican music” and proud to note The Lost Tapes span reggae, dub, spoken word and soulful roots from leading international reggae artists and groups including I Octane, SOJA, Erup (a Billboard charting artist), Lady Saw, Bunny Rugs and more. Designed to be heard either alongside Da Silva’s comic book, or, as a special, standalone musical event, The Lost Tapes is a unique find for music as well roots and culture fans everywhere.
