Slainte, travellers of the aether, and welcome to the Bannockburn Comic Blog. I'm Al Harron, proprietor of
The Blog That Time Forgot, contributor to
The Cimmerian Blog, member of the
Robert E. Howard United Press Association, and com!c artist.*
And proud companion of an inquisitive tortoise.
On the 24th of June 2014, the 700th anniversary of the second day of
the
Battle of Bannockburn will come to pass. It is doubly auspicious not
only for the anniversary, but that it takes place in the year of
the most important decision the people of Scotland have ever been asked to make. To
commemorate the occasion, I felt it was a good time for me to finally
engage in the world of comics as a solo writer/artist. I have learned a
great deal in the year or so since
my first professional publication in a comic
hit the stands, and I'm starting to get there in terms of confidence.
Since I've also been getting more politically active, and ached to start
talking about political matters, it also offered an opportunity to
start a new blog.
Hence, the Bannockburn Comic Blog.
Here I'll be posting anything related to the comic, and the upcoming
events of the year: the anniversary, the referendum, politics. I had
long mandated that I would refrain from talking politics, religion, and other such sensitive subjects on my personal
blog, but that's become more and more difficult over time. So while this won't be a political blog in itself, I will comment on current issues if the fancy takes me.
