Pat Mills 'Torturer' for the Meg ?

[Marbles]

Pat mentioned this series (drawn by John Hickleton)being produced 'for Germany' (although it  seems to have been up on the Coolbeans site as well) in his piece in the latest Megazine.

I've never seen it and was wondering whether it was worth a print in the Meg ? The only reference to it on the web I can find is the following :-

-TORTURER by Pat Mills and John Hickleton
"Torturer" is a regular comic that concerns something about a medieval torturer inhabiting modern bodies and, like a lot of Mills's work, is elaborately, often gleefully, sick, twisted and violent.

Just taking up space better filled by Hookjaw...

JK.

Sorry to be prejudging something unfairly again.

But Mills and Hickleton?

Christ, no!

I think Mills and Hicklenton were bleedin' ace on Nemesis. However, I am wary of their return: Mills and O'Neill were also once good on Nemesis.

Yeah, I'm up for Mills and Hicklenton again if the material is suitable for the meg.  Hicklenton made the two torquemadas an absolute joy.

[Jared Katooie]

Hicklenton?!

Nooooo!

They started a strip together n Toxic too, called "Fear Teachers". I've often wondeered how much these two strips were based on each other.
I'd like to read both of them.

Fear Teachers didn't actually finish its run due to the cancellation of Toxic! It's basic premise was that humans are born without fear and have the ability to fear forced into them. It was a good idea in theory, but on paper, very dull and preachy (quelle surprise!).

If you want to see what was published in Toxic! I'd be willing to scan and send you it. It's worth a look for the artwork.

Karne: Sorry, you misunderstood what I meant... I have read all of the Fear Teachers story that was printed ( I have all Toxic's, and am/was a huge fan of it, at the time it was better than 2000AD, IMO).
What I meant was that I would like to see the rest of this story, as well as Torturer.

[karne]

Ah, oakley, doakley Dane. It was this bit that threw me:

"I'd like to read both of them."

Do you know if there's any of the unpublished art/episodes on the Net anywhere?

[ukdane]

Don't know, hence the "I'd like to read both of them" statement. :-)

[karne]

Ahh, but you could've meant "I'd like to read both of them completely." ;)

Mills and Hickleton?
i could ask my six year old son to submit a story and art work which i would feel may have a higher thrill rating.
he would follow hickletons style  though by using crayons.

Hicklenton?

Yay!!!
