AFTER the success of his last comic book, a Dunfermline-based writer and illustrator has announced his next instalment. 

Colin Maxwell, who wrote The Dunfermline Story - a graphic novel that explored the city's vibrant history and heritage - has now teamed up with Glasgow artist, Neil Watson-Slorance, to create a spin-off children's version featuring some of the same characters. 

He said: “When I decided to include spooky stories in the Dunfermline book I knew Neil could create adorable characters that would make the stories funny rather than terrifying."

Neil first came to public prominence during the 2016 Holyrood election campaign when his drawing of former Dunfermline MP Willie Rennie on a chute went viral.

He has also provided artwork for Doctor Who comics and produced his own award-winning comic series, Dungeon Fun, with writer Colin Bell.

Now, he will collaborate once again with Colin Maxwell on his new comic, 'Uncannie Investigashuns'.

The tale follows the intrepid investigators Damien Daurke and Jenny Doolie as they return to tour the locations of supernatural activity around Scotland. 

In The Dunfermline Story, the pair investigated ghosts at Dunfermline Abbey and the Alhambra Theatre, but their new adventures will take them on a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster, little green men at Bonnybridge and the mysterious Grey Man of Ben Macdui.

Once again this book has been funded by a Scots Language Publication Grant and will be written in Scots. 

'Uncannie Investigashuns' is expected to be available in October 2025, just in time for Hallowe'en.
