It’s a free event with an all-ages focus and a wise choice by the Arts Council funding body. The Enniskillen Comics Fest is the first such event in the town. We’ll be talking about more than the boring copy-shop slog, we’ll be talking character and story, ghouls and tea. I’m pleased to announce those joining me are Una Gallagher (Two Lives, Faust, Something in the Tae), Austin Flanagan (The Revenants), Jenika Ioffreda (Vampire Freestyle, Midnight Tea), Danny McLaughlin (Zombies Hi, Andrew’s Comic, Revolve Comics.) and…oh, I couldn’t possibly say. This time I’m putting together something with a lot of pizzazz and I’d really like attendees to put their heads through the door. I’ve been on ten of these and hosted a few. I’m giving this my best and hope to do Alan and yourselves proud.Ĭloser to my comfort zone is the self-publishing panel I’ve been asked to host.

A replacement Doomlord ruled in favour of Earth and eventually became its protector, fathering a son the strip evolved into superheroics.I’ve told less than ten people this month, and now I can reveal I’ll be interviewing Alan Grant, the Guest of Honour at the first Enniskillen Comics Festival. It was a saga beginning with an alien judging humanity's right to exist, and failing in his attempt to execute humanity.

Initially an attempt in publishing science fiction horror in fumetti form (photo strip), Doomlord was later drawn by Heinzl (1983–1984) and Eric Bradbury (1984–1989).
