Scope and content
Cartoon of Mike Hogan dressed as Superman with a mobile phone down the front of his pants and ‘Howya Horse’ on his crest.
Mike Hogan adds to the gaiety of the nation. This is perhaps the sincerest compliment in Dublin. A former Eye in the Sky, Hogan bought the iconic In Dublin magazine for £6,500 when it was in financial trouble and succeeded in turning it around, despite courting scandal with ads for ‘massage parlours’. Hogan once owned 38 magazines. He now works with telecoms magnate Denis O’Brien.
