ppetropoulakis's review against another edition
5.0
Pat Mills’ Celtic take on the barbarian hero’s journey. So, this is the origin story of Slaine, the Celtic hero that is cursed with a berserker’ s rage. In this volume the story, with all its original context, is very much influenced by Conan the Barbarian, which is not bad at all. I remember reading this as a kid in 2000 AD. The five star rating is not only due to the extra nostalgia but also for the amazing art from a variety of classic artists.

Early collected Slaine comics with the lovely black and white art styles of Angie Kincaid, Mike McMahon and Massimo Belardinelli. McMahon is still a treat despite the occasional faded page.
The initial development of the character and his trusty sidekick/dog's body Ukko, travel through the weird and wonderful Celtic lands of Tir Nan Og pursued by the warriors of Slough Feg
