What happens when a creator starts being stalked by his own fictional character? That’s the premise of Laptop Guy, a ‘sitcomic’ book from Jack Lothian and Sha Nazir. It follows the hapless lead character as he attempts to launch a comic, only to see it fail and the title character to haunt his waking days.

Lothian and Nazir talk about the book, published by Black Hearted Press. Jack Lothian is a film and television writer whose credits include Doc Martin, Late Night Shopping and Shameless. Sha Nazir is an artist, whose works include Telling Scotland’s Story and producing Glasgow Comic Con (making The List’s Hot 100 for 2013).
