This collected edition of the Mazeworld stories contains all three volumes of the saga, originally published in 2000AD. The book was reprinted due to massive fan support on 2000AD's website, which prompted their publisher, Rebellion, to release this premium collection. The book itself is well made with a nice glossy feel to the pages, making it seem much more of a collector's item than some graphic novel reprints.
The story concerns Adam Cadman, a convicted murderer, who becomes the first person sentenced to death by hanging in 30 years since it was outlawed. The hanging is botched and Cadman finds himself at the end of his tether (quite literally) and drifts between two worlds. His body remains in our world, but his consciousness seems to travel to the Mazeworld, where he finds himself embroiled in a rebellion against the Maze-Lords, the corrupt ruling body of this fantasy world. The theme of mazes is utilised heavily with the corrupt Maze-Lords building them to use as dungeons to punish those who dare speak out against them. Mistaken for the legendary 'Hooded One', a figure from Mazeworld's history, Adam finds he has a second chance at his life, allowing him to find redemption for his crimes in our world and to become a hero.
The story is very well written by Alan Grant, who doesn't delve too deeply into the history of the Mazeworld or its politics, letting the reader piece together the mythology themselves. Where the story really sets itself apart from other fantasy strips published in 2000AD is the amazing artwork by Arthur Ransom, whose photo-realistic art immediately draws you into each panel and believe in this world of Mazes....

An absolute work genious. Super story. Unfortunately, nowadays way too many graphic novels (and comic books) lack dramaturgy and a sense of chronology. Mazeworld is one of the rare exceptions. This isn't your average "wet" comic, rather one that leaves you thinking about the story long after you have finished reading it. While the artwork isn't as precise as a Segrelles one it supports the story well.

I love Arthur Ranson's art and I had to have this item. Having read this story in 2000AD, years ago, I had forgotten how it finished and I am glad it has been released as a trade paperback. The gorgeousness of the cover is Mr Ranson at his brilliant best and the story is well worth a read.

I expected more from this but I found it very disjointed and pasted together from what I think was a bit filler for 2000AD
