The following are projects by Garth Ennis, a good Irish writer who can't
resist playing into a stereotype by drinking too much. These
projects are as follows:
Following these is a list of other sites of interest. |

"Troubled Souls" was serialized in the British anthology Crisis,
published by Fleetway, in issues #15-20 and 22-27. #15 was cover-dated April 1989; #27 was
cover-dated September 1989. Concerned with Irish politics, it was illustrated by John McCrea
-- who would later collaborate with Ennis on many other projects. Fleetway quickly offered a
trade paperback cover-dated February 1990.
A sequel, "For a Few Troubles More" was serialized in Crisis
#40-43 and 45-46. #40 was cover-dated March 1990; #46 carried a June 1990 cover date. It too
was illustrated by John McCrea. Whereas "Troubled Souls" was a serious drama about Irish
politics, "For a Few Troubles More" featured the secondary characters from the original in a
bawdy, humorous tale. Fleetway quickly offered a trade paperback cover-dated October 1990.
In 1997, Ennis and McCrea redid "For a Few Troubles More" as Dicks,
a four-issue mini-series published by Caliber Press that revised and expanded the original
story. Caliber offered a trade paperback as well. Five years later, in 2002, Avatar reprinted
the Dicks mini-series as Bigger Dicks with new material, then collected the
series.

published by Fleetway, in issues #29-34 and 36-38. #29 was cover-dated October 1989; #38 was
cover-dated February 1990. A story about religion -- or angry resentment of Christianity -- it
was illustrated by Warren Pleece. Fleetway quickly offered a trade paperback cover-dated
October 1990.
In 1997, DC / Vertigo -- then publishing both Ennis's
Preacher and
Hitman -- bought out the rights to
"True Faith" and returned them to Garth Ennis as a gift. A new edition of the trade paperback
was offered from Vertigo that year.

fiction imprint Helix in 1996. The series was one of the highlights of the low-selling

The Pro is absolutely hilarious. When a prostitute gets
super-powers, she is recruited into a pathetic surrogate of the
Justice League of America, including a virginal
Superman surrogate whom the prostite sucks off, a
Batman character whose genitalia is pawed by
the Robin surrogate, and a jive-talking but straight-laced African-American surrogate for
Green Lantern. It was great fun.
| The Pro | 56 pages; Garth Ennis script; Amanda Conner pencils; Jimmy Palmiotti inks; published by Image Comics; cover-dated July 2002 |
