I'm off to Glasgow for work tomorrow, and very sad there won't be more touristing... We had such a fab time up there for @sequential-scot.bsky.social 🥰

📖 We have a new resource up on our website for anyone working in small press in Scotland, whether that's comics, tabletop games, zines, prose, poetry, or other non-traditional publishing.

Hopefully going again next year if they will have me , don’t often pop my head over the parapet but I really enjoyed this last year and aim to get out more and an excuse to go up the road

Nice! Fingers crossed for the next Sequential Scotland 🤞

Thanks so much for the coverage!

1st one had us talking like it was comic con Woodstock. without all the bad stuff… It was amazing! go sign up to the mailing list

Great to see the plan is to keep Sequential going and growing. First show this year was great, well organised and a cracking day!

Scotland badly needs this, there are so very few comic focussed events now.

This year’s debut Sequential Scotland was an absolute joy, one of the highlights of the comics year thus far. This deserves to become a Scottish comics release institution, so I’m glad plans are in place to bring it back for 2026.

We've written a blog post giving tips and tricks for exhibiting at a comic convention, with input from Thought Bubble exhibitors past and present, and Team Thought Bubble's own experiences in front of, and behind the table!

Can't believe it's been a full month since the first ever Sequential Scotland. Getting the amazing photos back through from Rebecca Scolley Photohgraphy was such a treat!

We're now working hard to make the next Sequential happen! The feedback from the community has been so lovely and so helpful! We can't wait to do it again with you all xx

So sorry for the late update, finally got some time off after @sequential-scot.bsky.social and what a blast it was. Thanks to @naniiebim.bsky.social for a great weekend.
It's been a while since I have done a convention up in Scotland and it made me realise how much I missed them.
A real good time!
