University College Dublin's Contemporary English Literature reading list has a seminar on comics, named after Paddy Lynch's Last Bus. Here's how it looks:
“Last Bus”. Patrick Lynch. Last Bus, Issue 1, Summer 2009.
Mr Amperduke. Bob Byrne. Dublin: Clamnuts, 2003.
Ness. Patrick Brown. Belfast: self-published, 2008?
The Monkey Head Complaint. Dublin: downright bockedy, 2009
I've hyper-linked in the shops for each of these. Alternatively you can or your store can purchase them all from Black Panel Distribution in Belfast at http://theblackpanel.blogspot.co.uk

Thursday 4th Jan - Belfast Pub Meets
The comics creators pub meet returns to The Cloth Ear, Waring Street tonight from 9pm with a few festive faces.
The pub meets happen on the first Thursday of the month, right after Late Night Art from 9pm. They're part social, part professional and although aimed at creatives, we don't discriminate.
It's a good spot to share and scope new work, ask and deliver advice and share analysis and passion.

Belfast Comics Fayre this Sunday
"The “family fun day” event is run by Avalon Arts, a collective organising workshops, alternative and craft fairs and music performances. The site is a good one: Haymarket Arcade is located at the bottom of the central Royal Avenue, about five minutes walk from City Hall. The recently converted arcade has some resonance for comics readers. It was once the route taken through to the original site of The Talisman
(now FPI Belfast), one of Northern Ireland’s first comics shops, as well as Impulse Comics in the late nineties." - from Downthetubes.net
The Belfast Comics & Collectors Fayre is this Sunday December 9th in the Haymarket Arcade, Royal Avenue from 12-6pm.
Billed as a fun, free, family day with exhibitions of comics art, workshops, panels, talks, face painting, fancy dress and a bar. Confirmed guests at this time include:
Patrick Brown (The Cattle Raid of Cooley)
Andy Luke (Gran, Absence)
and from the South of Ireland,
Darrin O'Toole (Writer, Tales from the Void)
Eoin McAuley (Editor, Lightning Strike)
Ciaran Marcantonio (Writer, 'A Clockwork Universe' for Lightning Strike)
Daryl Cox (Artist, 'Monkey of Oz' for Lightning Strike)
And Surprise Guests!
The Stack and The (relaunched) Black Panel will both be selling, delivering British, Irish and American comics and probably more than that.
The Magnificent One Day Comic Book Factory is happening, and there will be new comics premièring in the form of Paddy Brown's Cattle Raid of Cooley #7, and Andy Luke's Kick!

Panto Opens, and River of Spuds
From the production company for Ulster indy film sensation Potato Vampires comes NCMVC; a new webcomic drawn by artist-in-residence Ann Harrison. Harrison aka Dragon has of course been active in the comics and animation scene for many a year. The webcomic is updated Sundays and Wednesdays. There may also be plans to collect them, judging by the rather superb cover on http://www.ncmvc.co.uk/

Draw Comics For Fee
andy-luke.com is now online where I talk about my new business site awriterwhodraws.com and expansion plans. In short, I'm hiring. Essentially it's alcho's beer money (not much), but I'm very interested in finding co-mix partners who draw. Comics artists who were probably going to do it anyway. Get on over there or get in touch.
