Nemesis The Warlock: The Hedge Trimmer and The Final Chapter

Ketchupagogo!

I’m blown away by Nemesis the Warlock: the Definitive Edition, Vols 1 and 2. My compliments to the publishers, Rebellion, and especially their designer Gemma Sheldrake for the truly inspired front and back covers.

Volume 2 is now on sale from the 2000AD store.

Such a Definitive Edition requires a Definitive Commentary, a companion piece for when you’re looking at the beautiful art by art-creator Kevin O’Neill and the other talented artists that followed him. So it’s time for The Secret History of Nemesis the Warlock, an episode by episode revelation of what really went on behind the scenes.

Episode 11: The Hedge trimmer

I could understand this episode – just about – so I loved the scene where Brother Mikron relates how there is such a run on chain saws, so he can only supply Torquemada with a hedge trimmer!

The final image of Torquemada is a classic! John has drawn so many incredible, disgusting images of Torquemada, it’s hard to choose a favourite.
