Gerry Hunt (1936 – 29 June 2018)[1] was an Irish cartoonist. He worked as an architect for 25 years, including 18 years at IDA Ireland. In 1986 he turned to cartooning, first drawing political cartoons, then creating a Spanish-language comic which he gave away to friends.[2] In 2003 he created a short series of inner-city Dublin fables told in rhyme, In Dublin City, published by Atomic Diner.[3] He then founded Dublin Comics,[4] which published his crime graphic novel, Streets of Dublin, coloured by BrenB, c. 2005, and a collected edition of In Dublin City, also coloured by BrenB, c. 2007.[1]
In 2009 he created Blood Upon the Rose, a graphic novel retelling the events of the Easter Rising of 1916, again coloured by BrenB, published by O'Brien Press.[5] He is working on the forthcoming Draugr in Dublin City, about a dead Viking reawakened in modern Dublin.[6]
