Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition hardcovers slipcase

This first collection, which features the first ten stories ever published for the strip, is essential reading when it comes to diving into the mythical world of Sláine. Scota – Egyptian princess who eloped with Gael's Atlanteans. Gives her name to the Scottish race. [19] With brand new scans and in its oversized format, Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition promises to bring one of comics’ greatest sagas to live in a way never before seen! My late husband was a devoted fan of 2000AD and knowing my interest in Irish mythology introduced me to Sláine the Horned God. He also felt that its feminist aspects would also appeal. He was right.Medrawd – Farmer who lives alone with his mother, who is actually a shape-shifting shoggey beast responsible for devouring many passing travellers. [25] Kao što i Toppi-ja vredi kupiti pre svega zbog crteža, tako ne žalim ni što sam Slaine-a kupila. Moram priznati da je ovo jedno od najboljih Komikovih izdanja koje posedujem. 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. Tlachtga – Mogrooth's daughter and one of Myrddin's best warriors. She is badly disfigured by the Great Worm's breath, which aged part of her face. [13]

[22] Timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of its first publication, this new, larger edition of the best-selling 2000 AD collection, written by industry visionary Pat Mills, features the groundbreaking fully-painted art of comics legend Simon Bisley.

Danu offers Sláine the opportunity to become her consort, the Horned God, by defeating the Lord Weird Slough Fegg, who had refused to die when his seven-year reign as Horned God ended and has unnaturally extended his life. If Sláine achieves this it would restore the worship of the Goddess and also improve the position of women in their society.

The metal band Slough Feg (originally named The Lord Weird Slough Feg) named themselves after the character of the same name. 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.Despite being a fantasy comic in a predominantly science fiction anthology, Sláine has found itself in the pantheon of 2000 ADstrips. It first appeared in 1983’s Prog 330, where it became a weekly staple alongside Judge Dreddand Rogue Trooper. With a mix of Celtic mythologyand Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian, writer Pat Millsoffered a unique take on sword and sorcery that appealed to many. While popular, Sláine would be catapulted to new heights in 1989 with The Horned Godstoryline. 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. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this summer, Sláine is a heady mix of Celtic mythology, barbed anti-authoritarian politics, and extreme violence. Nudd – Ogre serving as assistant jailer. Slaine bashed out his brains when Nudd tried to kill him. [17] 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.
