Scottish Engineer

Bursting onto the indie comics scene in 2008, Scottish Engineer is a Modern Age creation from publisher and writer John Maybury, debuting in Space Babe 113 #4 and carving out a niche in one of the more delightfully offbeat corners of small-press science fiction. With only four catalogued appearances across a short 2008–2010 run, this is a character for the dedicated hunter of rare indie gems — the kind of find that makes a collection genuinely distinctive. Scottish Engineer keeps some wonderfully eclectic company, sharing pages with the likes of Space Babe 113 herself, Captain, Mrrf, and the curiously named Rince Cycle, hinting at a universe with real personality and wit. If you love the scrappy, imaginative energy of creator-owned sci-fi from the Modern Age, this is exactly the sort of hidden curiosity worth tracking down.
