Magic Torch Comics

Making imagination matter.

Everyone has a story... 

Magic Torch Comics work with schools, community groups and organisations to tell stories using comics.

We believe comics are an excellent way to promote literacy, to engage new audiences and to share information.

We can help you tell your story too. 
In addition to our comic creation services, we deliver a range of local comic clubs and provide Comics CPD to schools, libraries and third sector organisations.
   
In 2020 we were named in The Big Issue's Top 100 Changemakers for our schools literacy work.

School Comics

We work with Primary and Secondary classes to develop, create and share comic characters and stories - everything from one off workshops to long term projects.




History Comics

We work with your community group or school to uncover the history, folklore and mysteries of your home town, and turn them into comics. 




Information Comics

We work with organisations and agencies to create bespoke learning materials and publications for your clients.





Community Comics

The team at Magic Torch Comics CIC have a background in community work and community development and we have developed a specialism in working effectively with marginalised groups.

We work with community organisations to develop comics projects, co-produced with the people who use your service, ensuring that their story is at the heart of our collaboration.

Inverclyde Storytelling
By Magic Torch Comics 18 Oct, 2021
Earlier this month, we were asked to produce some artwork for the Afrowegian Project , imagining an Afro-Futurist version of the story of real world cycling superhero, Marshall 'Major' Taylor. The comic display panels form part of an exhibition by the riverside in Glasgow throughout October. You can read more about the work of the project and how to get involved. We're looking forward to doing some more collaborative work with Afrowegian's Jim Muotone, down in Inverclyde over the next few months.
