Ireland’s first Graphic Short Story Prize, run by the Comics Lab in partnership with The Irish Times, rewards excellence in sequential storytelling. The story below, which takes the runner-up place, is Echoes, by the artist-and-writer team of Eoin Whelehan and Dara T Higgins. The Comics Lab was founded in 2015 by Debbie Jenkinson and Sarah Bowie, two cartoonists from Dublin. It aims to explore and promote sequential storytelling, to create platforms for Irish comics and to foster a vibrant comics community in Ireland. The Comics Lab brings drawing activities, book swaps, live readings, and guest speakers quarterly to Dublin Comic Arts Festival.
