Slaine - The Definitive Edition, Volume 3 - (Sláine Definitive Edition) by Pat Mills (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The Definitive line continues with the highly regarded fantasy saga Sláine. This reimagining of Celtic mythology mixed with sword-and-sorcery tropes stood out in the predominantly science fiction anthology 2000 AD, and it proved to be a testing ground for many acclaimed artists.

In this third volume, the Celtic hero continues his arduous journey across Tir-Nan-Og, accompanied by his sidekick Ukko, and faces a slew of mighty warriors, vengeful gods, and legendary beasts in his quest to return to his tribe and claim his rightful place as king. This seminal epic by Pat Mills features the artwork of David Lloyd (V for Vendetta), Glenn Fabry (Hellblazer, Preacher), and Mike Collins (American Gothic).
