Irish Comic News website

Isn't it great when a gap in the market is filled with something relevant and much needed? Well I'm happy to say that this happened recently, and has been a long overdue task for someone to take on. In retrospect though, it is similar to the phenomenon that Malcolm Gladwell mentions in The Tipping Point. You get to a moment where the push for the need creates a service or provider.
In this case, it was a need for a one point of contact for information on creativity in comics in Ireland. The scene has been active for a long time, and although the community of comic creators, artists and writers would get together for the small festivals or conventions each year, it just wasn't enough. There are a variety of conventions, fairs and festivals on during the year, that just don't get talked about enough. They don't get on the radar of the general public, and most of the time the general public like to go to something alternative.
So now, there is a central site telling the world about comics...from Ireland. It gives details on events, the people in the industry who slavishly create wonderful independent comics and works of art, along with those who are currently carving out a career within big names such as Marvel.
So go visit http://www.irishcomicnews.com and find out something new about the country that isn't about the banks or recession! :)
