Get your copy now!

When a deadly pandemic almost wiped out the world, witches got the blame and became the prey of witch hunters like Mackie and his dog Dex. Mackie believed in the cause, until the day he crossed paths with Miranda, a witch who showed him that the truth behind the plague was far more horrifying than he could have ever imagined

Now, Miranda, Mackie and Dex are living as outlaws, on the run from corrupt authorities with a mission to end the plague once and for all. The dynamic duo the pair tour futuristic Scotland, clearing up the plague wherever they go, but their enemies are never far behind. They think things are bad. But they’re about to get a heck of a lot worse.

Dungeon Fun arrives from the printer!

Dungeon Fun is here! Creators extraordinaire Colin Bell and Neil Slorance popped into the office to unbox their brand new book, fresh from the printers!

You can preorder your copy now!

This is a story of a girl and her sword…

Raised by trolls in the moat of a castle, Fun Mudlifter lives a life of boredom until, one day, when adventure finds her and a sword plummets into her village. Setting off to confront the trolls responsible for the falling items that plague her and her neighbours, Fun begins an off-beat odyssey in which she encounters jobsworth trolls, three-headed beasts, soothsaying shamans and headless barbarians as she valiantly battles her way up through the dungeons to her final goal.

BHP Comics is looking for people to get involved in our mentoring programme, Full Colour. If you are interested in applying, do so here.

What is Full Colour?Full Colour is a year long mentoring and development programme that will support and amplify the voices of burgeoning and established comics writers and artists from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds living in Scotland, with the option of publishing their work in a graphic anthology to launch at Glasgow Comic Con 2018. As this is a mentoring programme, BHP are not only looking for people with experience in comics creation but those who are interested in comics but aren't yet sure of what way to be involved in the industry. BHP will mentor the participants through a selection of workshops and face to face meetings with a focus on creative practice, editorial work, networking and career development at a national and local level*. The young people involved in the project will contribute and collaborate to make comics as well as work towards developing their own creative practice, leading to those involved forming a portfolio for future development. The publication and programme will be the first of its kind in the UK. By encouraging this group to get involved in comics creation, we hope to change the landscape of comics in the future, making it a far more inclusive and welcoming industry.This project is aimed towards people of BAME origins aged 14-26.*There is a level of flexibility regards attending the programme. If you are interested in the project but are unable to commit to attending sessions please still apply and message [email protected] your availability.

What are we looking for? -14 - 26 year olds from BAME backgrounds - An interest in comics/publishing/writing/art How to get involved: All information on how to get involved with the project can be found here.
