Slaine is very Conan-esque, with a bit more grounding in the Celtic mythos.

One of the mightiest warriors from the realm of myth and legend explodes out of the pages of 2000 AD! Slaine, master of the warp spasm, wielder of the mighty axe Brainbiter, Celtic warrior king! Reprinting Slaine classic “Slaine the King” all in Glorious Black & White! Awesome!!

Tir-Nan-Og – The ‘Land Of The Young’ – is a violent world, home to warring tribes who worship gods both benign and malevolent. One such tribe is the Sessair, brave warriors of enormous skill and the best of them is a young barbarian named Sláine Mac Roth. Sláine is, among other things, a master of the ‘warp-spasm’ – channelling the mystical power of the Earth through his body to become a mighty, monstrous berserker!

The great Celtic warrior, from the pages of “2000 AD”, returns with an extra 16 page tale, “He Didn’t Think it Too Many”, which provides the link between the original “Slaine the King” and “Slaine the Horned God”.

From writer Pat Mills (Marshal Law) and artist Glenn Fabry (Preacher cover artist), comes a world of mists, magic and the ultimate Celtic warrior, Slaine! This is a classic tale of sword-and-sorcery that tells the epic saga that introduced 2000 AD readers to a hero who made Conan look like a boy scout. Exiled from his tribe, Slaine is forced to roam the land of Tir-Nan-Og with his dwarf, Ukko. Ahead of him lie terrifying ordeals that will require all of Slaine’s famed warrior strength if he is to return victorious and claim his rightful place as King!
