Pat Mills has just announced that he is giving away part 1 of his new book "Kiss My Axe! Sláine The Warped Warrior: The Secret History", all you need to do to receive this is to have purchased a copy of "Goodnight, John Boy" or you will get this when you buy a copy.
Here's part of the email he sent out via his Millsverse website
Greetings from the Red Branch!
I've just finished Part One of Kiss My Axe! Sláine The Warped Warrior: The Secret History, and I'm giving it away for free to everyone who buys (or has already bought) a copy of Goodnight, John-boy.
You guys get a heads up before everyone else – by virtue of being on my mailing list!
All you have to do is send me your proof of purchase: a copy of the receipt – or if you don't have it any more, a pic of you with the paperback or ebook is fine.
And I'll send you a download link. Simple as that.
By the way, I absolutely love Alex Ronald's Kiss My Axe cover, I think it's even better than his Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! Quite strange to have my own eyes staring out at me ...
Below is a bit more info about what you can find in Part One: Sláine The Wanderer, but first just let me say that the complete book is quite a way off: I'm backed up with projects and unlikely to get started on Parts Two, Three & Four until much later in the year. So it'll probably be early 2019 before Kiss My Axe - the complete works, is published.
Necropost! New newsletter from Pat (https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNzI4MzY2OTgxNzQ2MjY3NDE0JmM9YTVmMSZlPTE5NzQmYj02NTQzOTM0NjkmZD1vN2ExbDRn.hB1VLqQgWAP4zqUj1o2eS5wCDF7iSe2NOf_41JAl-yw) says he is just coming to the end of writing "KISS MY AXE! The Secret History of Slaine the Warped Warrior" (and then moving on to Spacewarp 2).
I expect this will dish the dirt on why that final Slaine epic took so long to come out!

Off topic, I know, but he's going to move onto Spacewarp 2? I'd assumed that it would have already been written and with the artists. It's a good job the majority of copies would have been sold to old 2000ad fans and not the fresh new audience that Pat says it's aimed at.

Yep, seems a bit mental. It's one year since the release of issue one, and the newstand edition is just about to come out - but the second issue still isn't even
written...?
On Spacewarp I think that it did not sell as planned and the reason for the newsstand release and delay on version 2.
