Electric Soup

Electric Soup is the title of a Scottish underground comic book series which was first published in 1989.

The title was an anthology title with its most notable strip being "The Greens", ( a parody of The Broons strip published by D.C Thompson ) which was written and drawn by Frank Quitely. Other stories were written and drawn by Shug and Dave Alexander among others.

It was independently published and distributed round the Glasgow area to start with, but it received distribution though comic books shops before being snapped up by John Brown Publishing for UK distribution.

The humour was very Glaswegian in its strips, very akin to how "Viz" is full of geordie humour in many of its comic strips. The title was moderately successful but it was eventually cancelled after only a handful of issues.

A last "Greens" strip was published in a one off special, which was later reprinted in colour in "Northern Lightz", another Scottish underground comic book series.
