Further to our Cú Chulainn posts of late.
Will Sliney, the Cork Marvel Comics artist , is launching ‘Celtic Warrior The Legend of Cú Chulainn at Waterstones, Cork, at 6-7pm.
BUT Can YOU pitch an alternative ending for Cú Chulainn BEFORE 6pm?
The Comic Cast (Ireland’s #1 Comic Book Podcast) are offering artwork by Will to give away to the ONE judged finest.
Will writes:
“This page (above) details the moment when Meave’s army realise that they will have to pass by an ash tree haunted by the souls of Ireland’s deadliest warriors. It is one of many markers left by Cú Chulainn to stop the marching men dead in their tracks.”
Crikey.
Lines close at 6pm

Marvel artist and Cork man Will Sliney’s new comic book ‘Celtic Warrior The Legend of Cú Chulainn’ launches in Cork this Thursday (but is already on book shelves). In anticipation of the big Waterstones launch party, Cú Chulainn himself popped down to Ballycotton to meet Sliney (above).
But who will play Cú Chulainn in the inevitable movie?

Thought you might be interested to find out MacGyver is making a comeback via Cork. A new 5-issue comic book, drawn by Cork artist Will Sliney and co-written by original MacGyver creator David Lee Zlotoff was released yesterday. We had Will on Culture File (on Lyric fm) yesterday to chat about it. Podcast here. Cheers.
