Gordon is a proud member of GLoW (Glasgow League of Writers) – a group of writers based in and around Glasgow who are producing an amazing variety of comics, webcomics, prose, TV, film and other such related media. Each member is a very talented writer. Except Gordon. He just sort of hangs around because each meeting has beer and biscuits. GLoW played an invaluable role in bringing No More Heroes to print, offering feedback and encouragement that resulted in a much better final version.

 Please take the time to check out each member’s projects.
