We’re at the height of comic con season which, for small press, usually means new issues and collections being released here and there over the course of the con calendar. Later this week the Glasgow Comic Con kicks off, bringing high profile guests, more venue space and the Scottish Independent Comic Book Awards (or SICBAs for short) – however it’ll also see the launch of the very first anthology from the Glasgow League of Writers – simply titled GLoW 1.

Here at Comics Anonymous we love our DCs and Marvels of the world, but most of all we love a well made comic. With the big two and others churning out so many books a month, you could argue that too many cooks spoil the broth, which is why we particularly enjoy the other side of the fence, the small press, where just as much effort has gone into making a book, but perhaps with fewer people and certainly less money. It’s always nice to see when all of that effort pays off and leads to something great, which it certainly has for local boy Gordon McClean, writer of small press title No More Heroes. The book has had a fair bit of attention in the last week or so, but not for some of the reasons you might normally associate with an indie comic.
