What's new on Irish Comics Wiki (recent changes)

Streets of Dublin by Gerry Hunt

Welcome to the Irish Comics Wiki. There's quite a thriving little comics scene in Ireland, north and south, out there, both in print and on the web, and this site is intended to keep track of them all, and to provide them with a bit of tradition and history to draw on. So in addition to modern comics writers, artists and writer-artists, it also includes political, gag and strip cartoonists, caricaturists and selected illustrators. Most were born in Ireland; some were born elsewhere, but did most of their work in Ireland, and others hail from Ireland but did most of their work elsewhere.

A lot of our articles are stubs and could use expanding, we have a list of articles that we know need written, and I'm sure there's much more we haven't turned up so far, so please share your knowledge and contribute!
