Throughout the mid 1980s and early 1990s, he was the publisher of Strawberry Jam Comics, and wrote To Be Announced and night life. He was also co-founder of The Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund in Canada and co-edited the organization's two True North anthologies. His stories have appeared in comics series including Open Season, Shred!, and Cerebus High Society.[2] He works as a technical editor at an engineering company.[3]

He wrote Stagger Lee, a graphic novel based on the story of Stagger Lee and drawn by Shepherd Hendrix, which was published by Image Comics in May 2006.[4] It has been nominated for several awards, including the Eisner Awards 2007[5] and the Eagle Awards 2006,[6] and won several Glyph Comics Awards in 2007,[7] including Story of the Year and Best Writer.

At the New York Comic Con in February 2009, DC Comics announced that McCulloch would be writing Gone to Amerikay, an original graphic novel to be drawn by Colleen Doran.[8]

In 2009, he released his first book for children, T. Runt!, illustrated by Jimmie Robinson.
