It's great to be back in the saddle with Action Man Steve MacManus for the new Blazer Annual. I wrote the Derringer & So'n story featured on the cover. Cover art by Ian Stopforth, sequential art by Ewan Power. #Comics #retro

I’ll be at the Auld Alliance Comics Festival at the French Institute in Edinburgh this Sunday 6th July, talking about the Glasgow Looking Glass. Did you know that Thomson and Thompson, the detectives from the Tintin comics are called Nisbet and Nesbit in the Scots translations of the books?
