Nemesis the Warlock in colour-original covers!
To accompany the news Nemesis the Warlock Colour Collection is to be released later this year(September 12)here are the original covers from the US reprint series,Eagle Comics Presents:Nemesis the Warlock#1-7,stunningly realised by original artist and co-creator,Kevin O’Neill.
Go here to pre-order your copies,available in two highly collectible editions-Deviant(Standard)-£30 and Termight(Exclusive)-£40.
Nemesis the Warlock in colour..at last!
Having waited years for U.S reprint series Eagle Comics Presents:Nemesis the Warlock to be released in this country,all fans of the alien resistance leader are about to be made very happy-in technicolour!
Pat Mills wildly imaginative scripts and Kevin O’Neill’s gloriously bizarre depictions of the worlds of Nemesis,unlike anything you’ve seen in comics before,have been bestsellers in their original black and white for years in the 2000AD shop.
Fully coloured by O’Neill for the U.S reprint market in the 1980’s,the originals were released in the standard American comic book format and are becoming increasingly rare.
So it is with even greater pleasure to reveal that this new collection,available in two editions-“Deviant” and the exclusive “Termight”(the latter only through the online shop),will be in the much larger U.K size graphic album(hardcover)and feature the equally elusive Nemesis the Warlock:Poster Prog,from the 1990’s.
Nemesis the Warlock Colour Collection will be available to buy from 12 September 2013.
So order your copies now you lucky Earthlets!
Credo!

Future Flesh advert from art editor Jan Shepherd’s “assistant bodger” Kevin O’Neill. O’Neill later took over as art editor when Shepherd moved over to Starlord. Apparently he was quite good at drawing and has managed to make a living out of it for several years.
If you missed the Quality/Eagle Comics reprints of the early books of Nemesis the Warlock, they’re worth hunting for on eBay. Kev wasn’t keen to have his work cropped and resized for the American format, so he expanded, redrew and added several panels to his original artwork.
Thanks to Garth Ennis for pointing that one out to me, his eagle eyes miss nothing.
When asked for my comics secret origin, I normally say something like “I didn’t really read comics until I was in my twenties” because it’s easier that way, and also dodges a lot of awkward follow-ups. But it’s also a lie. I just didn’t read many comics when I was a teenager When I was a proper kid, with chirpy optimism and undescended gonads, I read whatever comics I could find. And even if I didn’t buy them as a teen, if they were left around, I’d totally have a good old flick. I’ll read anything, especially if it involves a dude’s head exploding in a suitably transgressive fashion. Or emotions. Always up for head-exploding and emotions, me.
Anyway – this is everything you need to know about five great British comic characters you probably won’t have heard of, unless you have, in which case well done you. I find you alluring. Yes, sexually. I’m going to try and choose ones which won’t have appeared in Zenith or Albion or in the corner of a panel in whatever League issue Moore’s putting out. Because talking about them is Jess Nevins’ job, and I’m no scab.
I really do find you very alluring, by the way.

Yes. Especially as Nemesis the Warlock gets a mention:
It does raise a question though: What did Matt Fraction think of it? Or is he still bewildered? |
