I'm always a little bit confused that the local media doesn't make a little bit more of "our" Garth Ennis. We love a Northern Ireland boy made good on the big stage, and here's a guy who's a world beater in his chosen field. In this era when the superhero movie is king, he's had two heavily based on his works (even if CONSTANTINE and THE PUNISHER are hardly exemplars of that genre), and has an HBO series in development based on his creator-owned property (though it's a long time since anyone's heard anything new on the PREACHER front).
So it's nice to see The Belfast Telegraph sitting up and paying attention to his work on DAN DARE. The piece touches on how Northern Ireland's, uh, unique qualities have shaped his work, though as we all know, there's a lot more could be written on the subject. Hell, there's a book in it, if anybody could be arsed paying me to write it.
