Missionary Man

by Gordon Rennie, Frank Quitely (Illustrator), Garry Marshall (Illustrator)

In the Cursed Earth, the radiation-poisoned wasteland that spans most of what used to be America, there is little justice; even the almost-legendary Judge Dredd was almost killed by its harsh and unforgiving sun. Now, one man has come to set things right. Some say he was a Judge, others say a madman: but with a bible in one hand and a firearm in the other, Preacher Cain stands tall against blasphemy, corruption and intolerance - and much, much worsel With artwork from 2000 AD favourite Garry Marshall, and the enormously successful Frank Quitely, artist on the red-hot New X-Men, this is a must for every fan of hard-boiled action!

Reviews

[Simon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Recent Reads: Missionary Man. Gordon Rennie's Megazine graphic shorts explore life in the radiation deserts of the Cursed Earth. Preacher Cain may have been a Judge, but now he walks the radwastes dealing with supernatural terrors. It's frightful dark out, so don't go alone.

[Alex Sarll]

Dreddworld weird Western, its lead a lawman turned gun-toting preacher, which would be wholly unremarkable but for the art. The majority is early Frank Quitely, already showing the solidity and dirt he can do so well; the rest is the lurid yet oddly humane work of Garry Marshall.

[Timo · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nice action and nice stories but way too much religious blabbering.
