Scottish Superhero Ready To Take On The World
SALTIRE COMIC BOOK SERIES COMPETING WITH BATMAN AND SPIDERMAN A
T LAST Scotland has a champion everyone can
get behind, whatever their political preferences.
From the mists of time and the deep recesses of the mind of comic book creator John Ferguson comes Saltire, a worthy equal to Superman, Batman and Captain America.
Ferguson’s comic book graphic novels are set within an expansive
time frame amid the natural beauty of Scotland. Since the first edition first hit the market two years ago they have been selling out all over the country while receiving award nominations and critical acclaim from the comic book industry and beyond.
Each story interweaves the history and legends of Scotland with the modern superhero genre.
Launched at 2013’s Dundee Literary Festival Ferguson’s creation is now in high demand with interest from the film, television and video game industries.
“The reaction of fans and critics has been fantastic. To be nominated for Best British Comic and Illustrated Book of the Year for our first title was remarkable, and to find reviews even stronger for the new books is an amazing testament to everyone working on the titles,” said Ferguson.

The first book, Saltire Invasion, introduced readers to the iconic main character, Saltire, and was set during the Roman invasion of Scotland.
Almost immediately the big, blue, ginger protagonist became an instant Scotish addition to the growing myriad of superhuman beings dominating the comic book genre.
