Sláine: The Horned God returns to print in a massively oversized edition just in time for the 35th anniversary of the ground-breaking and industry-altering story. Written by the character's co-creator, Pat Mills, and featuring fully-painted art the likes of which had never before been seen in the pages of 2000 AD.
The Horned God is the definitive Sláine storyline. Its appearance in the pages of 2000 AD marked a creative high-point for the comic, and the work inspired artists for generations with its incredible painted scenes of epic battles evoking the work of Frank Frazetta.
This anniversary edition has been rescanned from the original film, and printed at a size that more closely matches the actual artwork, so now you can become fully entranced by the art and story of the greatest Sláine epic.

Pat Mills' writing and editorial career started in Dundee, working for D.C. Thomson on the teenage romance magazine Romeo. Later Mills went freelance and started a long relationship with IPC Magazines, initially writing for girl's titles like Tammy, Pink and Sandy. He was an assistant editor on Tammy, the publication which began the comic revolution. Then, with Malcolm Shaw, he did some preliminary work devising Jinty before moving over to rejuvenate boy's comics. He created Battle (with John Wagner), Action, Misty and 2000 AD (featuring Judge Dredd). Other notable works include Marshal Law, Third World War in Crisis, the title series for Doctor Who Weekly and Requiem – Vampire Knight. He has also recently written several books including Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!, a history of 2000 AD and Serial Killer with artist Kevin O' Neill, a darkly comedic thriller.
Simon Bisley occupies an almost unique place in 2000 AD history, as one of the first UK artists to popularise the fully-painted style. His highly dynamic artwork made his two major series in the Galaxy's Greatest Comic – A.B.C. Warriors: The Black Hole and Slaine: The Horned God – hugely popular. He also illustrated Heavy Metal Dredd, an ultra-graphic, adults-only take on the lawman, before going on to pencil the hugely successful first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover story, Judgement on Gotham. Bisley has provided countless pin-ups and short pieces across an astonishing variety of comics, from legendary fantasy anthology Heavy Metal to anarchic DC superhero series Lobo, and has an even more extensive CV in Europe, where his painted style enjoys enormous success.
