Octocon 2010 Guests

Alan Nolan

Alan 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!
