Published on

2025 sees the 200th year of the Glasgow Looking Glass, recognised as the original ‘comic’ which was all hand drawn, with speech balloons and featuring ‘to be continued’ for the very first time. It can put in June 1825.

ComicScene will be celebrating all things Scottish throughout 2025 and we welcome contributions from Scottish creators your comics and features about your comics that we can share in this celebratory year.

There will be a few surprises along the way. Scottish creator Colin Maxwell will be producing a 2025 version of the Looking Glass and an exhibition is planned.

You can find out more about the Glasgow Looking Glass here at Glasgow University.

Don’t forget you can still get Tara Togs for Christmas. The graphic novel was produced in Scotland by writer/artist Stref and can be purchased in WHSmith, Easons and the Shift Store

Tara is currently SOLD OUT on Amazon but we hope to have more in stock there soon.
