Do you know where your comics are from?

I came across this news story today,a dn thought it'd be worth a share, as well as raising one or two subjects for conversation.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/7425328.stm


I was aware there was a comicbook writer somewhere in Scotland (living six miles from the country, you do take notice of such things). But didn't know it wasn't a single person, or who it was, so this is all sorts of cool for me, especially as they're apprently so well received.

You're not familiar with Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely?

Mark Millar is Scottish too. Funny they dissed him and he didn't even get a name drop!

Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis and Alan Moore are from somewhere over there. Not necessarily Scotland, but I think Ennis is Scottish...

Yes, but not everyone I know likes them so I was just reflecting that, as not everyone is all the way through popular.

This makes a lot of sense actually. It explains a lot about Craig Ferguson.
