Buddies enjoyed the unique opportunit­y to learn how to write a comic book script from one of the best in the business.

John McShane hosted a comic book script writing workshop at Foxbar Library this month.

Enthusiast­s hoping to become the next Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman gathered at the centre on Ivanhoe Road for an afternoon of top tips and creative expression.

A legend in the comic book scene, John is one of the founding members of one of the longest running comics societies in Europe, which still meets every month in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

With his business partners, John went on to create AKA Books & Comics.

He now co- runs Plan B Books, Glasgow’s first dedicated graphic novel shop.

The group brainstorm­ed for lots of big ideas for a potential new comic.

John then taught them the process of putting words to a page.

A spokespers­on from Foxbar Library said: “Thank you to the people who attended our workshop at Foxbar Library.

“We hope you enjoyed the session as much as we did.

“It maybe filled someone with inspiratio­n to produce the next comic book hit.”
