Hey Declan, thanks for the add. Just been checking out Hero Killers and it looks great. (There again, anything with a character called Power Chord was always going to grab my attention....)

Alright Declan,

Glad you enjoyed Raise the Dead #1 mate, cheers.

Sadly, we can't make it to Bristol this year but we're looking forward to seeing Your Round as and when we can get our mitts on it.

[ Posted by insomniapubs on Apr 16th, 2007 7:27 PM ]...

Your Round sounds cool!
Cheers for the compliment, we've got a good selection of books now which have some amazing work in them, I'll be sure to point out the stuff you may be mad about! ;)
See you at Bristol.
All the best

Good to see you on here, Dec. I made an update to my blog expressly for the people that aren't on ComicSpace and can't see firsthand what I've been up to, but it seems like more and more people are gravitating over. I love the FreakShow gallery.

[ Posted by DeclanShalvey on Apr 16th, 2007 6:25 AM ]... Thanks Mike, i think it'll look well when it comes out. Yeah, i've noticed more and more people hopping on here so i thought i'd check it out. Best not to be kept out of the loop.

[ Posted by insomniapubs on Apr 15th, 2007 2:21 PM ]...

Aye, we'll be there. Got the next two issues of Daemon, our first anthology, Layer Zero and our first Novel, The Kill Cell so we'll hopefully be very busy too!

What's Your Round about?

I'll have to get my hands on the new Freak Show book! :)

[ Posted by DeclanShalvey on Apr 15th, 2007 2:46 PM ]... Ah Freak Show should look good, it's a 60 page book, as opposed to the 20 page comic vol 1 was. Dyin' to see it in print. Your Round is an anthology series i've started up. It's basically a pub story comic. Each book has around 3 to 4 short stories based on nights out. It's lookin really good, so again, lookin forward to gettin it from the printers. Had a look at some of ye're stuff there. Not mad about some of it, but you've got some really nice stuff there man, i'll definately check yer stuff out in Bristol.

[ Posted by insomniapubs on Apr 15th, 2007 1:09 PM ]...

Hi Declan
Thanks for the add. Good to see you on here!
Are you planning on going to Bristol in May?
All the best

[ Posted by DeclanShalvey on Apr 15th, 2007 1:52 PM ]... Hey, No worries, yeah, i'll be there for sure. The new Freak Show book will be out so i'll be promoting that, and i've a self published book called Your Round out that weekend, so i'll be very busy. I take it you'll be there yourself?

[ Posted by DaniDarko on Apr 15th, 2007 11:20 AM ]...

Hi, Declan,
Nope, we've worked together a few times, though. Pretty cool guy. I like Freaksow. Have the first two trades. Good luck with it. Haven't seen Hero Killers, though. Where can I find it?

[ Posted by DeclanShalvey on Apr 15th, 2007 12:10 PM ]... Ah yeah, Al's a gent. I did a cover for his next Sancho issue cuz i like him so much. My first Freak Show issue should be out in a couple of weeks, let me know what you think in comparison to the trades you've read, being a big reviewer and all. Hero Killers came out in November, so i imagine if you check the back issues in Forbidden Planet maybe? Not sure if FP even do back issues anymore. I'm from Co. Clare so i dunno how Dublin shops operate. There's a 10 page preview at www.herokillers.com Let me know when your book comes out. I still know some cronies in Dublin who could pick up a copy for me.
