Sláine the Horned God

(Fleetway Quality, 1990)
Fleetway Quality

This six-issue series is a stark contrast from Fleetway Quality’s other offerings; it’s a first-rate sword and sorcery epic from a company known best for its futuristic titles taken from British weekly 2000 A.D.

Sláine is a fierce warrior king who lives in a barbarous, yet magical time. The quest here is to reclaim the great relics and use them to defeat the Drune Lords. These dark forces command the Skull Sword Soldiers who ride from the South and bring death in their wake. Only by using his own strength, along with the Spear of the Sun and the Sword of the Moon can Sláine’s forces hope to defend their young world from the Drune Lords’ ancient evil.
