Publication company Irishman detailed with reserve? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
comic book
'publication' is the definition.
(I know that comic book is a type of glossy)
'company irishman detailed with reserve?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'company' could be 'com' (as in .com) and 'com' is located in the answer.
'reserve?' could be 'book' (to book something is to reserve it) and 'book' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
