Freak Show Book 3 Launch this Thursday

Uncle Spunk

Hey folks,
Rob Curley, writer and publisher of Irelands biggest selling and longest running comic FREAK SHOW is holding a launch night for the third trade paperback this Thursday 26th in The Sugar Club.

All the artists will be there to sign and draw stuff and there's live music too. The other artists will be selling original pages on the night I believe.

Doors are at 8. Windows at 9.

fair play to 'em

Uncle Spunk

Yep Thumbs, I brought out MBLEH around 6 months before Freak Show and the Shiz does boast a whopping 20,000 copies in circulation. So yeah, I'm deadly.

Id pick Mbleh or Shiznit over Freakshow anyday but might try and make it down to this.

the Shades

Yeah I noticed my snafu sometime over the last two days just forgot to correct it. Thanks thumb, would say I'd see you there but eh... I have a regular drinking date on a Thursday and well I have issues... Yes many, many issues.

Starting with the fact that I just don't think it's that good a comic, read far better many many times over.

bombidol

Its not my cup of tea but fair play to him for getting it all together.

Went down to this last night. tried to charge us a tenner each to get in. Said negatory and went somewhere else for pints. Nice one Rob.

Mbleh carved itself out before Freakshow popped up.. I think Rob's Atomic Diner did put out Speakeasy and such about (or just after) Mbleh's debut. It's a pity Stephen Mooney didn't get his rightful title (in the advertising of the launch).. Wondering what I mean? Stephen Mooney, IDW's artist for Joss Wedon's 'Angel' comic, the establishing artist for what Freaskshow is! I did pop in, Stephen is such a humble and decent bloke, not getting his hard earned established credit properly posted on the table was a shame (and a lost opportunity!).

PS otherwise the night went well, the music was a bit out there. Excellent musicians just didn't think much of the material played.

Uncle Spunk

Yep, agree that both Mooney and Thompson's slick and polished art really helped a shakey first few issues. Two world class artists and really decent and humble blokes. Their careers have only just begun, whereas as I'm just about washed up.

the Shades

Mbleh! was out long before Atomic put even a preview out.
