An Edinburgh artist who spent his 40th birthday in complete isolation after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour has had a comic book about living with the illness brought to life.
Gordon Shaw joked his condition was a “literal headf***” after turning his hand to writing about his life shortly after doctors gave him just three years to live a decade ago.
His stories follow a graphic version of himself in the surreal world of chemo and radiotherapy while living with the tumour in his head - which he named ‘Rick’.
