Sancho

    (20,000 Leagues, 2005)
™ and © 20,000 Leagues

20,000 Leagues is a comic-book company created in Dublin, Ireland. Sancho is a one-shot about an exorcist and his lifelong struggle against the forces of evil, bouncing around Sancho’s life and reading like a TV movie. It’s much more satisfying when you get a pay-off in one issue, rather than several cliffhangers building up to one. Sancho rocks! Readers can’t get this through comics distributors yet but can order directly from the company’s website.

Alan Nolan’s art is stark and dark but functions well for the story. It’s not just because they’re all Irish that these guys remind the reader of Garth Ennis’ work, but Sancho has a similar feel. But where Ennis will go over the top with gore and graphic sex, Ian Whelan and Nolan are more tempered.
