Meouch was the brainchild of myself and my good friend and very talented writer Paul Carroll. We sat down one day to discuss an idea I had about a cute cat who was also a world-renowned assassin. We talked about how we could best do this book, and after a few trial runs in zine form, we received a massive response to the character. People loved Frankie the Cat.
(One fan even going as far as to have a concept sketch of Frankie tattooed on his arm - High Praise!)
So with the support of a fanbase, myself and Paul decided to stop doing short stories and put together a three-book arc for the character, Issue one was launched at Dublin Comic Con and was met with an unbelievable response. Meouch was an instant hit, and received fantastic reviews.
Our creative team on this book was:
