A Comic BY Nick Marinkovich & Jeff Sturge

This comic comes from two very reputed creators, artist Nick Marinkovich and writer Jeff Sturge. The Voyageur is a great coming of age story about a young boy Fintan who is thrust into an adventure when he gets involved with an older cousin who seems to be part of something much bigger than Fintan could have ever imagined. Here is the full description from the creators:

"Fintan O’Neill’s no hero. There’s not too many rich people in 17th Century Ireland, but the likeable, withdrawn 15-year-old is the poorest kid in Ballypoyle, living on a small tenant farm with his hardened, cynical mother, forced to do what she's had to for her and her boy to survive.

The arrival of Fintan’s older cousin Ruari – a soldier with his own troubled past – has turned his world upside down. Appointing himself a stand in father figure, Ruari leads Fintan into a world of vice and violence. Sensing the danger, yet unable to resist the excitement – Fintan lets himself get sucked in.

But Fintan’s got no idea what his cousin’s really mixed up with. And it's about to throw the shy introvert into a whirlwind adventure into the unknown..."

The duo successfully crowdfunded their comic on Kickstarter back in 2015. And they were subsequently published through Guernica Editions.
