Cork author Celina Buckley has launched her debut take on Irish legends, writes Marjorie Brennan

WHEN illustrator Alan Corbett published the children’s comic book, The Ghost of Shandon, in 2012, he felt he was a lone voice in Cork. Since then, there have been milestones: Marvel artist Will Sliney’s Celtic Warrior: The Legend of Cú Chulainn on O’Brien Press, and the recent anthology I’m Awake, I’m Alive by local independent publisher, Turncoat Press.

A group of Cork-based comic book artists have released their first anthology in the midst of what is being describd as a new golden age of comics, writes Don O’Mahony.
