    Any Galway based comic heads might be interested in this happening. If you search for 'ComicSoc Nuig' on facebook you can find more information.
    On March 10th, both the Comic Book and the Literary and Debating Societies will be hosting an 'Audience with Warren Ellis' in the Kirwan Theatre.

    Warren Ellis is the award-winning creator of graphic novels such as Transmetropolitan, Planetary, Fell, Global Frequency and the author of 'underground classic' Crooked Little Vein

    As expected, many members of comic-book soc are already squealing like little school girls over the prospect of being within 5 miles of Warren Ellis. This is not suprising in the least for he is awesome. And so are his works

    But for those of you who aren't familiar with Mr. Ellis, here's what you've got to know:
    He's one the best writers out there.
    Not only are his stories funny, deep, moving, interesting, relevant and unique, they are also DAMN entertaining!!!!!! The dude is moving the comic-book medium towards somewhere special. A place where truly amazing stories can be told!

    Be there.
