SAORSA - A Supernatural-Noir Comic of Post-Collapse Scotland A supernatural-noir story about folklore, trauma, and the ghosts we create to survive.

SAORSA is live.

My first creator-owned comic and Kickstarter. A supernatural-noir set in a post-collapse Scotland, focused on folklore, quiet horror, and what people carry on living with.

Thanks to everyone who has been following along.

Thanks so much to SOLRAD for publishing this. Really grateful for the thoughtful edit and care you put into it.

Post-collapse stories have always felt more honest to me than post-apocalypse ones. Less spectacle, more consequence.

Hello!

I'm looking for a Colourist and Letterer for SAORSA (Kickstarter launching Feb 3.)

This is not a superhero project, grounded, Noir, real-world colours.

Lettering, we are looking to allow the tension to breathe.

Comment or message with examples and page rate.

Thank you.

SAORSA isn’t built around spectacle.

It’s built around pacing, restraint, and trusting the reader.

Aimee Wilson doesn’t believe the world is finished.

Even when it’s fractured.
Even when it hurts.

Harley’s Books.

A place built from old stories, stubborn care, and the belief that some things are worth preserving, even when the world starts to crack.

One week out from the launch of SAORSA.

Grateful for everyone who's followed the process far.

Excited to share more content over the next seven days.

YouTube video by Indie Creator Comics Podcast Episode: 174 - Indie Creator Spotlight - David Barclay

I had a really good chat on the Indie Creator Podcast about SAORSA, indie comics, and what it’s actually like trying to build creator-owned work in public.

Honest conversation about process, pressure, and persistence.

Mission Log activated. Incoming Transmission....

Had to have extra coffee this morning. But all for good reasons.

Had a great chat with Angel & John (Indie creator comics podcast) last night about SAORSA, the Kickstarter and Scottish actors being played by non Scots.

Releases Wednesday, in the meantime here's the site.

Funding application submitted for a project. Anyone who has had to do risk assessments and PVG policies know the pain and why I'm happy it's over

Been there, I particularly like to push the button for the elevator then get so impatient waiting on it, i take the stairs in a small panic like I must beat the elevator... Or maybe that's just me

Also had the pleasure to check out Tomb Raider thanks to comics bulletin. I can tell, Lara is far from done with the field.

Thanks to comic book yeti for allowing me to review this. A great read with some must see art.

Key art reveal for SAORSA.

A supernatural-noir comic set in post-collapse Scotland.
Launches on Kickstarter February 3.

Pre-launch page is live if you want to be notified.

A very different introduction than most (unless you hail from similar lands) but 13 year old me spent a lot of time at the But 'n' Ben

Thank you to Hilina & the team at Scatterhead comics for giving me an inside look at what they are building. It's pretty special.

Don't worry about that, I can get some details to you

Really grateful to Comics Bulletin for the chance to review this.

A sharp, brutal opener that understands Cyberpunk as vulnerability, not power.

I’m working on a editorial piece and I’m hoping to connect with Scottish-based comic creators

Nothing too formal. Just conversations about what people are working on and how the scene feels.

If that’s you, or if you know someone who should see this, feel free to reach out or pass along. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Absolute Batman: Ark-M #1

A story about memory, fear, and the systems Gotham builds to feel safe.

My spoiler-free review is live now, focusing on theme, tone, and intent rather than plot.

Some people survive what comes after. Others learn to live within it.

Coming soon: SAORSA - A Supernatural-Noir Comic of Post-Collapse Scotland A supernatural-noir story about folklore, trauma, and the ghosts we make ourselves

A few people have asked how to support SAORSA before it launches.

The most helpful thing right now is clicking “Notify me on launch” on the Kickstarter pre-launch page.

It doesn’t cost anything, but it genuinely makes a difference for indie projects.

I second this
