Manga/Graphic Novels in Irish?

[VacalleroRealV]

Does anyone know if there is any manga or comics in Irish?

I know of An Táin and these others: An Sclábhaí, An Teachtaire, An Tóraíocht and Deirdre agus Mic Uisnigh.

Wow I didn't think there would be any! Thanks, now we need Japanese Manga in Irish!

This would help me in learning Irish a lot. Thanks a lot .

Is there a healthy comic industry in Ireland?

Is there a healthy comic industry in Ireland?

Unfortunately I don't read any comics so I wouldn't be someone to answer this. However, my impression/assumption is that the 'industry' is quite small, even taking into consideration our small population. I think you could count the number of sci-fi/comic/role-play/board-game shops on both hands.

hahaha well thanks anyway!

This'll help.

Yes, there's the ones already mentioned, which are done by Colman Ó Raghallaigh: An Táin; An Sclábhaí, Tóraíocht Dhiarmada agus Ghráinne; and one or two others. They're fantastic!

There's also a comic book called Rí-Rá, although I'd say it's aimed more at kids.

There's no manga, though, to the best of my knowledge.

Are their any sic-fi style comics or are they all modern-day/ancient, style.

I was actually planning to translate a bunch of mangas directly from Japanese to Irish (to help both my Japanese and Irish). If I can manage a few "scanlations" I'll post links to them here.
