The Dunfermline Story - a 68 page comic special!

How to make history interesting for all ages? Publish it in comic form of course! Sequential art is a proven and excellent way to engage readers with stimulating images and captions, and the latest such venture is The Dunfermline Story.

Written and published by Colin Maxwell (of Commando comics fame) with a grant from the Scottish Government, The Dunfermline Story is a 68 page softback featuring artwork by Anna Morozova, Martin Baines, Vicente Alcazar, Nigel Parkinson, Mike Collins, Andrew Sawyers, and many more. Keeping its roots as a true Scottish comic, it's written in Scots (like The Broons, only moreso) which gives the book a unique flavour. 

Colin contacted me months ago to draw a page called Dead Famous for the book and I was happy to do so.

The Dunfermline Story is a fascinating book and one I'm very pleased to have contributed to. You can order a copy from this link:

Dead Famous

Dead Famous is the title of a page I drew recently for for THE DUNFERMLINE STORY, a new book written by Colin Maxwell telling the story of the city in comics form. Colin commissioned me to draw three cartoons for the book and you can see a snippet of part of one of them above. The Dunfermline Story will be published on 25th May and I'll post more info nearer the time.
