Troubled Souls is a comics story set in Northern Ireland amid the "Troubles", written by Garth Ennis and illustrated in painted colour by John McCrea. It was serialised in Fleetway's political comic Crisis in 1989, and was published as a collected edition in 1990. Its protagonist is Tom Boyd, a young unemployed protestant man coerced into planting a bomb by IRA volunteer Damien McWilliams, which gets both into trouble with their consciences and with McWilliams' superiors in the IRA. It was Ennis' first published work. A follow-up, For a Few Troubles More, a comedy featuring two of the series' supporting characters, Dougie and Ivor, ran in Crisis in 1990, and much later was spun off into a series called Dicks, published by Avatar in the USA.
