    new site of the collaborative dublin-based serial, all 3 issues finally available in digital form for download too!

    it was July 05 when we put out issue 2, funding issues have kept us from print since but until then enjoy this version, with the full archive finally available. Please check it out and say what you think!

    Site still under construction and so still needs things like a proper intro to the project, but just to sum up briefly it's a quarterly-ish publication we give out for free in dublin and a few other places. the story cuts between 6 characters in their wanders around Dublin, with each issue mainly orbiting around one character's perspective (issue 1 following the new postman jimmy, issue 2 follows radio pirate Declan, and issue 3 runs with postmaster Raymond). The script is then given to artists who pick a section to illustrate, and then we stick it all back together again and see what happens.

    issue 3 runs as a long chronological timeline, with 18 artists creating panels for each character occupying a separate synchronic strip on the page; check it out to see what happens when Raymond meets the disguided genius of the Engineer and when work on the new theme park being on Ireland's Eye uncovers an indeterminable artifact...

    Excellent, I've been looking forward to this for a while. I've read through most of issue 1 and I really like the effect of varying the illustrator from page to page, although it takes a little while to get the hang of how the narrative hangs together.

    Look forward to seeing more of this :)
