Cló Mhaigh Eo - Úrscéalta Grafacha as Gaeilge Comics in the Irish language!

There's a small and very niche market for Irish language literature in Ireland as only a small minority of the population are literate in Irish let alone fluent. A damming indictment on the state of Irish civilisation and the vitality of its people

Enough about that now! I'm sure it'll be grand like!

There's a very celebrated series of comics in Ireland that illustrate the ancient Irish myths and poetic epics however. These were produced by Cartoon Saloon along with Colmán Ó Raghallaigh! These are the people by animated films Secret of Kells and Song of The Sea. Kino overload btw.

This series follows "An Táin" and "Deridre Agus MicUsnigh".

An Táin follows the Irish hero Cú Chulainn in his struggle with Queen Méabh in the wake of the bull Fionnbheannach, the most indomitable and prized beast in ancient Ireland. Deridre Agus Mic Uisnigh follows the tragedy of Deridre and the sons of Uisneach as they rage against fate.

The other series follows Saint Patrick and his life's story with all the fanfare and legends included following his life as a slave at the mercy of Irish and Viking raiders, to becoming An Teachtaire "The Herald" against the Druids and old order of things in a fallen land. Really kino stuff. Highly recommend.
