Octocon 2010 Guests
Alan NolanSubmitted by Danielle Lavigne on 13. October 2009 - 1:48Alan Nolan is the co-creator - with Ian Whelan - of the twice-Eagle Award-nominated comic Sancho, along with a smattering of stories for other Irish publications, such as the beautiful “Sorry I Can't Take Your Call Right Now, I'm Off Saving the World” and the Irish-language comic RíRá. Alan's idiosyncratic sense of humour makes him a fantastic guest for any convention, and we're glad he's decided to come back to ours! |
