Bob Byrne is a comics writer, artist and independent publisher based in Dublin.
His first published comics were the self-published series Mbleh!, which ran to 3 issues and was the first Irish comic to be distributed by Diamond. He has also produced the majority of the content for The Shiznit, a free pocket-sized comic funded by adverts and released in various cities around Ireland. Other works include Robots Don't Cry (a children's illustrated book), a one-shot Freakshow special written by Rob Curley, and a series of silent strips in 2000AD under the banner Bob Byrne's Twisted Tales.
His most notable work to date is the graphic novel Mr. Amperduke, a story told entirely in pictures without words, which Byrne published himself (trading as Clamnuts Comix) in 2008. This character first appeared in a short story in Mbleh! in 2003, and was reprinted in the small press section of the Judge Dredd Megazine in 2006, before the release of the graphic novel in 2008.
He was nominated for an Eagle Award for Favourite Comics Writer/Artist in 2007. He is a contributor to the Irish Comic Challenge.
