An Irish comic (Irish: greannán) is a periodical published in Ireland that contains comic strips. Ireland's comic book market has historically been very small, and closely linked to the British market. In recent years, many comics have been released with themes drawn from Irish mythology and history. The Irish comic industry has its roots in Irish nationalism and Irish Catholicism. Most comics are in English, but some in the Irish language have also been produced.[4] Authors have often portrayed Cú Chulainn and the like as superheroes, and made explicit connection between them and Irish revolutionaries.[5]

Several Irish artists and writers have produced comic books for British publishers, most notably P. J. Holden, Malachy Coney, Jim Fitzpatrick, Will Sliney, Will Simpson and Davy Francis.
