Michael Collins to Canadian fever dreams: 2022 in comics and graphic novels 

It's been another great year, with Irish creators again holding their own among the international titles 

Down Below and Frankie's World are among the comic and graphic novel highlights of 2022

Michael Collins 

 Adding to O’Brien Press’s store of titles concentrating on the decade between 1912-1922, Michael Collins: Ireland’s Rebel Son rattles through the Big Fellow’s life from his involvement in the Easter Rising to his tragic demise. Writer Mario Corrigan’s pacing has a steely focus as he hits all the pertinent events, and allows an appropriate sense of space for his lying in state and funeral. David Butler’s art matches this subtly and with solemnity.
