as part of the mass take over of Britian its culture and Elephant sports, how about your fav top ten Scottish GNs?

By Scottish I would say either the writer, artist, characters or setting is Scottish.

Ting-ting Round One!

Just a little rough and tumble, Judge man.

I, Cosh

Don't know if it counts as a graphic novel, but The Bogie Man.

That Batman one is the worst.
We never really die.

'Slaine Warriors Dawn Volume One'

Some of it must be Scottish-Celtic and Mike McMahon, one of the artists has very Scottish sounding name.

I know one of the stories 'Beast of the Broch' sounds very Scottish Though set in the southern Britain.

I think the name McMahon might well be Irish in origin (though I'm not 100%).
brochs certainly are peculiar to Scotland.
Wasn't there a Wallace/Slaine story?
Just a little rough and tumble, Judge man.

ThryllSeekyr

Yeah, there was. Forgot the name though.

I pretty much think that anything that anything Celtic is Scottish and/or Irish.


ThryllSeekyr

'Kidnappit'

Is that from the old language.

All Star Superman. Writer & Artist.
Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?

Tex Hex

"All Star Superman. Writer & Artist."

Colourist Jamie Grant is Scottish too, unless Im mistaken.

How about Spider-Man: Spirits of the Earth

Lovely art!

I haven't read it, just flipped through it.

Spiderman looks completly ridiclous ( even more so!) in a rural setting though.

Adrian Bamforth

Haven't read the whole thing but I'd say The Bogie Man has to be about as Scottish a graphic novel as you can get, and still seems to be pretty popular.

Richmond Clements

Spider-man in Scotland?? What's he swinging off then?

I've read the Batman one, it's rubbish.
