He has previously written for the Belfast Telegraph, Newsletter and Sunday World. Dundas is collaborating with Andy Luke, a novelist and cartoonist who drew upon his own neurological difficulties in the UnLtd award-winning, ‘Absence: a comic about epilepsy.’ His work includes a contribution to ‘To End All Wars’, a WW1 graphic novel which was nominated for two Eisners.
