Kiss My Axe

Covering 40 years of Celtomania in 2000AD, the ultimate history of Sláine, as writer Pat Mills finally – and with great sadness – brings his saga to a close. Pat created Sláine with artist Angela Kincaid in 1981, although it would take two years of story and art development before it appeared in print. What began as a personal quest for Pat to make sense of his Irish roots became a magical quest for Celtic marvels, myths and mysteries. And from it, Sláine emerged: a unique hero who stands apart from all other sword and sorcery warriors. Kiss My Axe is about the exceptionally talented artists who illustrated this internationally acclaimed epic. World-renowned artists like Simon Bisley, Glenn Fabry, Mick McMahon, and more. It’s about the comedy behind Sláine and Ukko’s hilarious and fantastic adventures. And the warp-outs by the writer as well as the warrior, as he battled duplicity, censorship and discrimination to save his story from senseless sabotage.
