Scottish Comic Book Day – Dave Alexander and Jim Stewart in discussion with John McShane

Join us for a celebration of Scottish Comic Book Day 2026!

Jim Stewart from Glasgow, Scotland, is a self-taught artist and cartoonist who has been drawing commercially for over 30 years. Best known as the creator of underground superhero Ganjaman and as a founding co-creator of Northern Lightz; his comic strips were featured in Soft Secrets, Weed World and have been translated into 8 languages.  Jim’s self-published editions of Ganjaman Presents, feature not just his creative talents, but the writing of both veterans, including Alan Grant and John Wagner, newcomers to the underground comic scene.

Dave Alexander is one of the most important writer and artists in the Scottish comics scene winner of the Scottish Independent Comic Book Awards for his outstanding contribution to comics. His most famous comic strip, The Mad Mentol MacBam Brothers, began life in an unpublished strip for some long-forgotten magazine in 1982. His first completed comic strip, "Malky Wherrz Yer Troozirz?" was created as a one-page advertising handout. In 1985, Dave and Tommy Sommerville started working on what was to become the comic book, Electric Soup. After 7 self-published issues, John Brown Publishing took over Electric Soup and increased the print run to a staggering 50,000.

Jim and Dave are celebrating over thirty years in industry together and will be reflecting on this time with comic book historian John McShane.

Please be aware that this event will include adult themes, and we advise that all attendees should be over the age of 16+ years.
