I’ve been trying to tidy up my workspace. It’s a work-in-progress. #writing #comics #comicart

I’m looking forward to the next part of Westernoir from Time Bomb Comics. It’s on @kickstarter right now kickstarter.com/projects/timeb… #comics #horror #western #wildwest #graphicnovel #supernatural

My wallet went through the washing machine today. It’s a good thing notes are plastic these days. I was more worried about my Quantum card from Time Bomb Comics, but it’s made of stern stuff.

A new comic coming next year from myself and Neil Watson-Slorance. We’re going on a tour of Scotland’s spooky locations. Scottish Book Trust #comics #Scotland #graphicnovel #comicart #ScotsLanguage

It’s #SmallPressDay - please support independent comics. The Dunfermline Story is available from Little Shop Of Heroes in Dunfermline and via my website Maximized.co.uk. Buy today online and I’ll throw in an extra comic from my back catalogue. #comics #history #ScotsLanguage

Yesterday (19 August) was the anniversary of the Dieppe Raid of #ww2. Part of the unsuccessful raid was depicted in Disaster at Dieppe from Commando Comics, written by Andrew Knighton with a cover by Neil Roberts and interior art (his first Commando) by Mike Collins. #comic #war

On Saturday 24 August I’ll be at Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre fly-in. Museum attractions, aircraft, talks, authors and trade stalls. I’ll have all my wartime true stories for sale. #ww1 #ww2 #BAMSE #Montrose #Scotland

How to Make a Horror Movie with local filmmakers at Outwith Festival. A fascinating insight into this genre of indie filmmaking. #film #horror

I see #WorldBookDay is being promoted (March 2025). Maybe this time we’ll see some #graphicnovels getting some spotlight treatment, or perhaps there’s more chance of that happening to a Haynes manual.

Tease…

I’ll be at ACME Comic Con - Autumn 28/29 Sep, SEC Glasgow on 28-29 September with my pals from The Brewgooders beer and comics podcast and we’ll be hosting some of the panels with #comic writers and artists at the Creators Stage. Come and say hi or bring some questions for the guests.

It’s great to see the artwork and long service of Manuel Benet being celebrated with the reprinting of four issues of Commando Comics next week. Manuel drew the first story I wrote for them and also the two stories featuring the Polish protagonist, Tomasz. #comic #warcomic
