SLAINE, THE HORNED GOD

The fourth collection of the adventures of Slaine, the Celtic warrior, follows his trials and tribulations as, after becoming king of his tribe, he proposes to gather and unite the tribes of the Earth Goddess under a High King to fight off the twin threats of enemies from the north (the monstrous Fomorians) and the south (the armies lead by the Lord Weird Slough Feg). A complex, fully realized world in an intelligent tale beautifully illustrated and styled more like a prose novel than your average graphic novel. Truly a classic and timeless fantasy story. Pat Mills, born in 1949 and nicknamed "the godfather of British comics", is a comics writer and editor who, along with John Wagner, revitalized British boys comics in the 1970s, and has remained a leading light in British comics.
