An early 90s masterpiece Amazing art and writing. If you only read one graphic novel, make it this one.Fantastic. Awesome. Incredible. It's Essential

Audiobook adaptations of comicbooks are an odd phenomenon but one that seems to be increasing in prevalence and popularity. This one, which retells the much-loved Sláine story The Horned God which first ran in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s in 2000AD, is pretty damned good. I was pleasantly surprised as to how much the original artwork (by Simon Bisley, of course) sprang back into my mind while listening to this, particularly as I haven’t read the original for about twenty five years. The voice actors...

As I finish reading this collection for perhaps the 10th time, I find that Slaine is a very easy 5 stars for me. The story is great, but the art, oh my lord the art of Simon Bisley is sublime. I initially became hooked on Bisley’s work through the black and white lines of ABC Warriors, so I was curious as to how he would translate into full colour. All questions answered in the first few pages - spectacular! It is difficult to imagine the amount of work that must have gone into each panel, let a...

The fourth collection of the adventures of Sláine, the Celtic warrior, this one follows his trials and tribulations as, after becoming king of his tribe, he now 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 drunes armies lead by the Lord Weird Slough Feg).Uniting the tribes would also bring together their greatest weapons but would also lead Sláine on a journey of...

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. This is a book that belongs in every Fantasy collection.

Visually impressive graphic novel interpretation of Celtic mythology

Not just classic 2000AD but the best of it. They had always pushed the boundaries of what comics are about; Slaine managed to take this tradition one further.

I can admire this book, but it does not ignite my passion. Pat Mills has read a lot of The White Goddess and more, it shows in the script. Bisley art is gorgeous but not too my taste. A high water mark for 2000ad, yes, indeed.

Kakav vizuelni atak na mozak. Gledajući Bizlijeve table, čini se kao da držite u rukama delo najstrpljivije i najdetaljnije osobe na svetu. Krv pljušti na sve strane, iznutrice se raspliću stranicama, nadrkanih izobličenih bića koliko ti duša prohte. Radnja stripa mi je s druge strane bila užasno zamorna i nezanimljiva (jbga kelti i njihovi mitovi mi baš nikad nisu bili privlačni) ali ovako nečem ću se vraćati iznova i iznova pošto scene nasilja verujem da skoro neću nigde videti ovako prikazane...

Like most of 200AD's output, this is quality stuff. I first read this in the magazine (1989)

Brutal este cómic de la factoría 2000AD que recrea las aventuras del héroe celta, Slaine. Dibujo y colores magistrales (un poco a la Richard Corben) acompañan a un guión magnífico. Todo un descubrimiento.

Slaìne you magnificent bastard!The Horned God is the very first thing I've read of Slaìne and it really blew me away. But that shouldn't have been the surprise it was because both Pat Mills and Simon Bisley are genuine 2000AD powerhouses.I would be wrong to say that Slaìne is only a blood shedding, ax-wielding, built-as-a-stone-shithouse brute.I would be equally as wrong to say that he were only a philosophizing, cunning and plotting barbarian...Because he's both or none of the above, depending

The art is first thing I noticed on this one. It is simply divine painted gorgeousness. It really steals the show will all the expressions, gore and twisted fun.And this time the story almost rises to the art. Sometimes wobbles to boredom, but then something interesting happens and drags the whole thing to the path of interesting. Good stuff.

Slaine turning from a Conan clone to something deep and philosophical that touches issues like freedom from oppression, feminism, acceptance of life as it is, religion and much more in a drawing style more akin to proper paintings than comics. Read this by listening to the metal band The Weird Lord Slough Feg or die.Edit: after the second re-read, it's still awesome as it was before. On a side note, I don't get by Pat Mills needed to criticize the Golden Age WW in Marshal Law since his feminist

I believe i just finished the audio dramatization of this, not my kind of thing sadly. I bet the comic is a lot beter. Sorry

Sword and sorcery barbarian fantasy from the pages of 2000AD. Gorgeous artwork, though it takes itself rather to seriously, even in its frequent moments of comedy, in a very 80s way. Still, the underlying message of rejection of constructed Masculine values for more naturalistic Feminine ones is interesting, as is the idea of myth being a constantly evolving and developing cycle.

The Horned God is peak Slaine. It is beautifully illustrated by Simon Bisley still holding up 30 years later. A true classic of art and story combined.

Cómic de espada y brujería con toque celta. Se puede pedir más? 🖤

This dramatised production provides an excellent introduction to this classic barbarian fantasy series.My late husband was a devoted fan of 2000AD and kn...

Parece o Conan, mas não é o Conan. Apresento a vocês um guerreiro celta que mesmo tendo alguns traços do famoso cimério, realiza uma jornada tão diferente e curiosa que pode incomodar os fãs de espada e feitiçaria. Isso porque a cultura celta é diferente do que estamos acostumados. E Pat Mills conseguiu dar ao personagem individualidade diante de tantas cópias do personagem de Robert E. Howard que surgiram ao longo dos anos. Tem crítica religiosa, tem defesa do matriarcado, tem valorização da na...
