I want the day to come when women-centred networks will seem archaic and unnecessary, but we are a long way from achieving parity in how our work is promoted, or even getting a look-in at a panel at an industry event. Since then Laura Sneddon and I set up a Facebook group for Women in Comics, Europe, and there are well over 200 women subscribers. I maintain a page on my web site listing women working in comics in the UK and Ireland, and have done so since March 2011, when I first got sick of hearing ‘where are the women in comics?’

Naomi also won Best Indy Irish Artist at the Irish Comic News Awards last year.

Naomi Bolger – draws her self-published comic The Helix Comic (written by Ryan O’Connor), which is about the fun adventures of a group of mutant superheroes.

Anthea is currently running an Indigogo campaign for a modest sum to get more copies printed, as she’s sold out! The comic is also being put up online for free for Irish Comic Book month.

It offers no representation for women producing work in the field. I’m disheartened and disappointed that last night’s panel did not feature any women.Īs an Irish woman who writes comics and reads them, this hits me hard. I’m delighted that there is interest and support for the burgeoning comic book community in Ireland.

(The audio from the event is available on The Pubcast web site.) The Lecture was held in Trinity College, Dublin, and from what I understand there was a great turn-out for it.

The guests included Declan Shalvey, Stephen Mooney, Robert Curley, Darrin O’Toole, Robert Carey, and Ciarán Marcantonio. Last night, to celebrate Irish Comic Book Month, Lightning Strike organised a talk discussing Irish Comic Book production. You can keep up with what’s going on at Irish Comic News, which is the best web site for news/information/sneak peeks of the work of Irish comic book artists & writers. We’re mid-way through March, and I figured I should mention that this month has been designated Irish Comic Book Month.
