Hound (2014) (Comic Book) | comment |
Hound is an Irish graphic novel written and drawn by Paul J. Bolger and co-written by Barry Devlin (of Horslips fame), with lettering by Dee Cunniffe and logo by Fran Walshnote not to be confused with the producer of The Lord of the Rings. It retells the Irish myth of Cú Chulainn in the Ulster Cycle from the perspective of Morrigan, the goddess of war.The graphic novel was first published in 3 volumes in limited copies by Polish animation studio BreakThru Productions. The volumes of the original run were subtitled Protector (2014), Defender (2016), and Liberator (2018). Paul rendered the graphic novel in black and white with an occasional use of red to save time and costs. British film producer Hugh Welchman edited the graphic novel and launched three successful Kickstarter campaigns to fund the original editions.In March 2022, American publisher Dark Horse Comics reprinted the graphic novel as a single volume—which is how Paul intended it to be read—with promotional text by Aidan Turner (actor: The Hobbit, Poldark), Peter Lord (director: Chicken Run, Pirates: Band of Misfits), and Tomm Moore (director: The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers) and a gallery of art dedicated by various 14 artists. | |

This plotline is dropped when he goes to Brunaboyne instead upon hearing that Emer is there praying for him. | |

Death of a Child: Cú Cullan kills a number of children over the course of the story: three among Eva's Kelpies when they attack Skye's school; a group of boys forced to gather wood for the Connact army; and his only son by Eva on the Fomorian Stones. The last two cases take place under Morrigan's influence. Cú Cullan comes across the corpse of a child at the beginning of the invasion of Ulla, in which Morrigan taunts him over not being there to protect the boy in time. | |

Child Soldiers: Eva's band of seaweed-clad warriors called the Kelpies includes at least three children, if Cú Cullan's comment when they attack Skye's school is anything to go by. Eva sends her only son with an axe and in armour to "take the head of every dog lover [...] or die trying" when he is only a child. He effortlessly beheads one man before fighting Cú Cullan, who only finds out that he is his son upon fatally wounding him. | |
