Eoin Coveney is drawing on his experience in the comic world

2000AD artist Eoin Coveney has been mentoring aspiring young hopefuls in Cork, writes Don O’Mahony.

COMIC books have become an important component of Cork City Library’s programme of events for Cork World Book Fest, particularly as a tool for encouraging literacy among teenagers. Once again, this year’s programme of Teen Day events will see the launch of the teen comic, a publication that is overseen by local comic creators, Alan Corbett and Colin O’Mahony.
