Rutherglen Comic Con: Legends of the Town Hall Revealed

Rutherglen Comic Creators: From the Town Hall to the Global Stage Rutherglen is more than just a historic royal burgh; it is a powerhouse of comic book creativity. For years, the streets of Rutherglen have inspired some of the biggest names in the industry. Specifically, the Rutherglen Town Hall became a sanctuary for fans when BGCP hosted the first-ever Rutherglen Comic Con in 2017. This landmark event brought local legends back to their roots. While the final Rutherglen Comic Con took place in 2020, the legacy of the “Ruglonian” creators continues to dominate the global stage. THE FIRST EVER RUTHERGLEN COMIC CON (2017) In early 2017, BGCP made history by bringing a large-scale comic event to South Lanarkshire. Consequently, the Rutherglen Town Hall was packed with families looking for free family events in Glasgow and free kids events in Scotland. Furthermore, the 2017 show featured an incredible guest list that was truly “made in Rutherglen.” Frank Quitely, Gary Erskine, and John Lees all appeared as guests, meeting fans and signing books in the very town where they grew up. This connection between creator and community made the Rutherglen dates some of our most cherished memories before the final 2020 show. Meet the Rutherglen Legends Rutherglen has produced a disproportionate amount of world-class talent. Moreover, each of these creators has left an indelible mark on the world of superheroes, horror, and sci-fi. Frank Quitely (The Modern Master) Born Vincent Deighan, Frank Quitely is arguably the most famous comic artist to emerge from Rutherglen. Specifically, his meticulous detail and unique style have made him a household name at DC and Marvel. Gary Erskine (The Versatile Visionary) Gary Erskine grew up in Burnside and attended Stonelaw High School. Additionally, he has spent over 30 years working for every major publisher in the industry. John Lees (The Horror Specialist) Representing the new generation of Rutherglen talent, John Lees is a multi-award-winning writer known for his chilling and atmospheric storytelling. Rutherglen Town Hall: A Cultural Hub The Rutherglen Town Hall served as the perfect backdrop for these events. Consequently, its grand architecture matched the epic scale of the stories told by our guests. Although our final comic con in the town was held in 2020, we still encourage fans to support local talent through our current shows. If you are looking for free kids events in Scotland today, you should check our current schedule. Specifically, we still host massive takeovers across the country where you can find the latest books by these Rutherglen creators. Visit our to see where the next “Town Hall” style takeover is happening! In summary, Rutherglen remains a vital part of the BGCP story, and we are proud to celebrate the creators who started their journey here. Find out your nearest Comic Con

Fraser Campbell Comic Writer

BGCP Interviews Fraser Campbell (Alex Automatic, Cabal Comics)

BGCP Interview: Fraser Campbell and the Art of Indie Comics The Scottish independent comic book scene is currently in a golden age, and few writers have been as prolific or consistent as Fraser Campbell. In this episode of the BGCP podcast, we sit down with the writer behind the Cabal Comics label to discuss his gritty, surreal, and often mind-bending stories. Whether you are a fan of 70s spy thrillers, noir crime, or just want to know how to run a successful Kickstarter campaign, this interview is packed with insights. Who is Fraser Campbell? Fraser Campbell is a Glasgow-based writer who has carved out a unique niche in the UK comic scene. Known for his sharp dialogue and high-concept premises, he has successfully funded multiple projects through Kickstarter, building a loyal fanbase along the way. He is best known for collaborating with unique artists like James Corcoran and Iain Laurie to create books that defy easy categorization. His stories often blend grounded human drama with psychological horror and fractured realities. Spotlight on His Key Works If you are new to Fraser’s work, we discuss several of his major titles in this interview: The Edge Off: A “nightmare noir” that has been described as Jason Statham directed by David Lynch. It follows a gangster who has been dosed with a terrifying psychotropic drug, forcing him to battle both real-world enemies and his own melting reality to save his daughter. Sleeping Dogs: One of Fraser’s earlier breakout hits, this gritty crime thriller explores how far a father will go for revenge in a tower block controlled by a local crime lord. What We Discuss in This Episode In this extensive chat, we peel back the layers of the creative process: The Kickstarter Hustle: Fraser is a veteran of crowdfunding. We discuss the secrets to his success, how to build a community, and the realities of fulfilling orders for thousands of backers. Writing for Artists: Fraser works with artists who have very distinct styles. We talk about how he tailors his scripts to suit the psychedelic lines of Iain Laurie or the dynamic action of James Corcoran. The “Glasgow Style”: Is there a specific tone to Scottish comics? We discuss the grittiness, the dark humor, and the camaraderie of the local creator community. Watch or Listen Now You can tune into the full conversation below.
