This December my self publishing group, Turncoat Press, are releasing our latest comic book. It is title Last Rebel and features the hurley wielding hero, Jenny. The comic is set in a post apocalyptic Cork City where gangs terrorise the decreased and poorly population, as well as mutated animals, including cheetahs and a giant swan.
We will be having a release event in Waterstone’s on Patricks St on Saturday, December 5, from 2:30pm to celebrate. The stories contain many Cork locations including St.Patrick Street, Shandon and Fota. The writers and artists are all Irish based and mostly in Cork.

Can’t make it sorry.
Fair play Chris! A far more worthy investment than the Hollybough
Insert joke about not being able to tell the difference between real Cork and the version in the comic here…
where, here?
hare?
think it’s a rabbit
How is that “post apocalyptic”?
When did Vanity Publishing become so acceptable? Theatre is rife with it too, with actors writing plays for themselves as well as producing them.
Self-publishing has a long history in comics, it’s not as looked down-upon there as it is in other publishing circles.
I KNOW, right.
That James Corden and Ruth Corden with Gavin and Stacy
That Ben Affleck and Matt Damon with their Good Will Hunting
Orsen Wells
Woody Allen
Emma Thomson
Tina Fey….
Eughhhh…. all those vanity writers and look how that worked out for them. I prefer your way, no-one should write anything for themselves!
Yeah, you yell him :)
Vanity Publishing was a term coined by traditional publishing to belittle it, with great success. The advent of digital printing and the ebook together with a smaller, leaner, traditional publishing market has led to self publishing being a real alternative for authors. The vanity publishing tag is a bit outdated, much like John Grisham’s need for an overdraft became after he self-published ‘A Time to Kill.’
. ‘The writers and artists are all Irish based and mostly in Cork.’
Who cares?
I do, as do most right minded people.
Best of luck chris!
