B7 Complex is a gen Blake's 7 anthology. It was the first Blake's 7 zine published in North America. It was also a recruitment tool to try and get American fans interested in the British TV series and its related fandom.

The primary focus of the zine throughout its run was Blake's 7, with a few crossover stories (e.g. with Max Headroom, Robin of Sherwood). It should be noted, though, that occasionally material related to other fandoms was included (specifically, Tomorrow People, Doctor Who, and The Champions).

In the mid-90s, Moonrise Press, operating under its new name Vendredi Press, republished select stories from the fanzine series under the title Avon's 8 Collected.
