The Skinny Showcase: Glasgow League of Writers & Team Girl Comic
Glasgow Comics
Glasgow is renowned for its comic book writers and artists. For the October Showcase, we take a closer look at a couple of the homegrown collectives who're helping to foster this diverse scene.
GLoW
The Glasgow League of Writers (GLoW) are a motley crew of comic book scriptwriters (several of whom have won awards) who meet every fortnight to workshop each other’s scripts, chat about the industry and help each other produce their titles and get them on the shelves. Their works ran the gamut from superheroes and aliens to smaller tales about everyday life and have been read all across the world.

TEAM GIRL
Team Girl Comic is a Scottish collective of women from a variety of backgrounds who share a love for telling stories through the medium of comics. Founded by Gill Hatcher in 2009, the group has rapidly grown to become a thriving social community and support network for women creating comics in Scotland. TGC regularly publish anthologies that showcase their latest work, and update a webcomic that offers a weekly snapshot of their lives.
