Kiss My Axe!


Book Description

'Welcome to the Wound Feast!' Covering 40 years of Celtomania in 2000AD, this is the ultimate history of Sláine, as writer Pat Mills finally - and with great sadness - brings his saga to a close. Marvels, Myths and Mysteries 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. 'Would you buy a used chariot from this dwarf?' 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. Kiss My Axe! and celebrate 40 years of Sláine - you won't think it too many...

Man with an Axe


Book Description

“The toughest, most darkly comic, consistently superior American procedural on the market” takes on the greatest mystery of all: the death of Jimmy Hoffa (Booklist). When an eager young historian asks Detroit police detective “Fang” Mulheisen for the real story of Grootka—his legendary law-enforcement mentor—the question leads him to uncover his late friend’s notebooks. And with them, Mulheisen may also have stumbled upon the answer to one of the biggest unanswered questions in American history . . . What happened to Jimmy Hoffa? The notebooks tell an incredible story in which the supposedly late labor leader was, in fact, about to meet his end when he was rescued by a gifted musician and spirited into hiding in the wilderness of northern Michigan. More than that, the past Grootka describes may be related to a deadly mystery in present-day Detroit. With this action-packed novel spanning decades of cops and criminals, “Jackson remains a master of irreverent, hard-boiled comedy” (Publishers Weekly).
