I had hoped to do something about this newspaper strip called 'Nuada of the Silver Arm', a small collection maybe, but Jim Fitzpatrick isn't keen at the moment.
I have the complete strip but it in very low resolution so not really usable for viewing on screen.

The following is a small piece I have put together for the Hibernia page on Facebook it may be of interest to some here, I'm not putting it up on Facebook just yet, until I can source a better copy of the comic page.

'2000AD's Slaine is 30 years old this year, Pat Mills created the strip drawing largely on Irish mythology and having the cream of British and Irish artist working on it have ensured its popularity.
It's not the first time that Irish Mythology has been adapted to the comic form. Starting in October 1975 in the Sunday edition of The Irish Independent, a new comic started called 'Nuada of the Silver arm' began. It was written and drawn by renowned Artist and Photographer Jim Fitzpatrick. 
It was in B&W and featured the character 'Nuada'. Nuada is one of the principle players in the Mythological cycle of Irish Mythology, he was the King of the DeDannan's as they battle first the Fir Bolg and then the Formorians for ownership of Ireland.
Fitzpatrick draws on these myths and brings to life these ancient stories, very much in a Marvel Conanesque style.

The strip last a little over 20 episodes and it was cut short by the arrival of a new editor who took a dislike to it and discontinued it, and it was never completed.
It was however the inspiration of Fitzpatrick's brilliant book's The Book of Conquests and The Silver Arm, which tell the tale of the first and second battle of Moytura, and my favourite, the Transformations of Tuan.

My lad has got a nice bit of cash for his birthday, and he is thinking of getting himself a Birthday/christmas present.

He has spotted this and he is wondering if its good value, and as I done have a clue, hive mind please help!

We are combining our summer hols with a christening we are invited to in Kildare.
I'm looking for suggestions for stuff to do with four kids and keep us relatively happy.
So far we have as possibilities, Tayto Park, Newgrange, the Zoo, Natural history musuem, Dundrum shopping centre. As you can see it trying to go somewhere to please everyone, so any suggestions would be very helpful. Also if there is any Book/comic shops outside of Sub City/Chapters/FP I'd be delighted to hear!

I have put a small bit on Genghis Grimtoad by Wagner Grant and Gibson that appeared in Strip up on FB if anyone would like a look.

Great art by Gibson, it would make a nice floppy

I'm nearly finished the next Comic Archive, but Im desperatly looking for an article I read (not too long ago either) on the DC Dredd. It featured inputs from Helfer and Wagner. It would have appeared in Comic World or Comics International or Comic World in late 93 or early 94.
Im not looking for the article, I have the bloody thing just to find it. I'm gone blind from looking through tonnes of  news mag, with its reviews of Liefield and Liefielsesque art. How was that popular enough to sell millions?

Cheers.

Looking for more help.
I remember reading that the VCs were originally down to appear in Starlord, and were dusted off to appear in 2000ad. I cannot find where I read that, ring any bells?

Cheers

I have spotted some comics that I have ben looking for for quiet a whiel and I would like to bid on them, BUT the sellers dont ship to Ireland and they are not contactable. Anyone fancy bidding on the for me and then posting them to me if won? All cost covered of course!

After Images was a fanzine published by Ace comics in the late eighties.
Im in particular after no 3, not to buy(I will if for sale!) there is one interview Im after so a scan would do if any one has it. Id like a look at issue 2 and 6 as well.

I dont know if there is much interest here for this, but Steve Holland at Bear Alley Book is releasing the following http://bearalleybooks.blogspot.com/2013/01/lion-king-of-picture-story-papers_3.html
It will be mine as soon as I get cash together!

Im just wondering if anyone has an opinion on this. Im not on Facebook or twitter, and I have no particular desire to be on them, my time is pretty limited, so any time I spend on the net tends to be here or trawling through google looking for stuff.
A few people have asked am I on Facebook(For the comics), and why not when I say no.
If I had a Facebook page it would be the same as my blog, updated when I have some news or other which is pretty sporadic.
Amstor and myself spoke about this when we were putting Comic Archive together, but I didnt have the time to consider it then, so what do you think, would a Facebook page useful for promoting the stuff I produce?
