AUTHOR Hugh McMahon has launched his new comic book - one inspired by the humour of his city.This sounds impressive, and I'm sure it'll offer a lot more than most mainstream USA comics do on these subjects.
Hugh’s new book, Limerink: Limerick City in Words and Pictures, documents the life and culture of Limerick city through a 48-page hand drawn comic book.
[...] Several familiar Limerick landmarks and street scenes feature including the pubs, bridges, churches bridges, sports fields and markets.
The comic is full of cartoons and illustrations documenting the colourful speech, sayings and proverbs heard every day, all over the city.
Sport, fashion, food, work, family, religion, weather, money and love are all explored in words and pictures throughout the comic book.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
