Product Information

Treasures of Britain" (with Dermot Power, in 2000 AD #1001–1010, July–September 1996, #1024–1031, January–February 1997) Uniting the tribes would also bring together their greatest weapons but would also lead Sláine on a journey of exploration as he meets with the Earth Goddess to learn more about the past, when Goddesses ruled the earth, and about the relationship of the tribes to her. His discoveries would lead him to not only to become the High King, but to become the new Horned God. The Horned God is not only the 'husband' of the Earth Goddess, but also means he has to replace the old Horned God, which turns out to be Slough Feg, who is suppose to have died at the end of his reign, but clings on to life, driving him insane. Scota – Egyptian princess who eloped with Gael's Atlanteans. Gives her name to the Scottish race. [19] The Time Killer" (with Glenn Fabry, David Pugh and Bryan Talbot, in 2000 AD #411–428 and 431–434, 1985) Timed to coincide with the 35th anniversary of its first publication in 2000 AD in 1989, this new edition of Pat Mills and Simon Bisley’s groundbreaking and best-selling collection will feature brand new scans – meaning readers will be able to see its fully-painted art in unprecedented new detail.

Other elements of the series are derived from non-Celtic mythological sources. Sláine's dwarf companion is named Ukko, after the Finnish storm god. Odacon is identified in Theosophist circles [8] with a Babylonian deity named Oannes, and is considered closely related to Dagon. Musarus, one of the same species as Odacon, shares this origin. Grimnismal, the name of the dark god Sláine and his companions defeat in "Tomb of Terror", is the title of a poem about Odin from the Norse Elder Edda. The term Ragnarok, for the end of the world, is also borrowed from Norse mythology. Mogrooth – Fearsome Atlantean dragon rider and gladiator with enlarged, sharpened fangs. Despises Ukko for his thievery. [12]

Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition hardcovers slipcase Sláine (2007, Mongoose Publishing, published under Issaries, Inc. license with the RuneQuest game system) It's a mixed bag in many ways, both good and bad. Sometimes the sudden shift in tone are hilarious and work excellently for the story, and sometimes they are just that, abrupt jokes that make you cringe. At times you can almost feel the grandeur of the legend being told and at times you've no idea what is happening and why, where it's all leading to and what happened before. Sláine's seduction of Niamh, the king's chosen bride who was brought up in seclusion until she was of age, is reminiscent of the Irish story of Deirdre. [3] Cathbad, the druid who foretells the evil consequences of Deirdre's birth and appears in several other tales of the Ulster Cycle, gives his name to Sláine's chief druid. Sláine's feat of crossing a raging river to visit her, weighed down by a heavy stone to prevent him from being swept away, is taken from an episode of the Táin. [4] Niamh is a popular Irish girl's name, and is also the name of a fairy queen from the Fenian Cycle. Her otherworld homeland, Tír na nÓg (the Land of the Young), provides the name of the series' setting. That's all very well sire but we must look beyond this life to the higher realms... and they cannot be obtained without seing and knowing everything and, unfortunately,it's not possible to see and know everything without suffering everything". The origin of the name Cythrawl, given to the dimension of the "Dark Gods of Cythrawl", Sláine's enemies, can be found in the same passage of Barddas.

As so the climactic battle begins, the land is convulsed and Sláine would have to lead his people not only to victory but to new lands which, through legends and myths, would come to be known today as Ireland. Mor Ronne the Dung Collector – One of the few dwarves more repulsive than Ukko. Nest has to sleep with him as part of her initiation ceremony [26] Blathnaid – Former lover of Sláine, who used to rob horse-drawn carriages and was a regular runaway bride. Later on after they had parted ways, she was devoured by a giant serpent summoned from hel by the Drunes, after which it was able to take her shape. [25] Lord of Misrule" (with Clint Langley, in 2000 AD #958–963, September–October 1995, #995–998,June 1996) The Horned God, Book II" (with Simon Bisley, in 2000 AD #650–656 and 662–664, October 1989 – February 1990)Pat Mills’ writing and editorial career started in Dundee, working for D.C.

Ko voli fantastiku, keltsku mitologiju, stil 80-tih, fazon glam metala (jer "metal je rat" 😎), ovo je prava stvar. Meni dovoljno bilo da otvorim, vidim par tabli - na njima zmajeve, patuljke, polugole divljake koji se kolju, dominantne nage žene... i kupljeno bez mnogo razmišljanja.

Myrddin – Half-Cythron Atlantean survivor and high-level magus analogous to Merlin. His fortress is located in modern-day Wales. Nudd – Ogre serving as assistant jailer. Slaine bashed out his brains when Nudd tried to kill him. [17] Si en lo 80 el jefe de las superilustraciones de fantasía heroica era Richard Corben, en los 90 Bisley recogió el testigo y nos aplastó con páginas fascinantes q desbordaban testosterona y magnificencia por los cuatro costados, gritaban: soy una máquina, soy una bestia del dibujo y un diablo de la pintura. FASCINANTE.
