5.0 out of 5 stars Another classic from Edgington & D'Isreali, 30 Aug 2008

By	P. A. Keating "houshin" (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Stickleback, a mysterious figure in Old London Town. Some say he is a myth others refer to him as the Pope of Crime.

This collects, what is currently, both Stickleback stories. Mother England and England's Glory. Both published originally in 2000AD. They are set in a version of London that never existed, set during a Victorian period with clockwork machines and grotesque monsters.

Both stories have an underlying Cthulhu vibe to them with otherworldy monsters not found in normal horror books. Ian Edgington is turning out to be another excellent writer, acting as a follow up to his work in the excellent Leviathan (2000 Ad) and the two wonderful War of the Worlds related books Scarlet Traces Scarlet Traces: Great Game.

The other selling point is the art supplied by D'Isreali. In Leviathan he came up with some excellent designs like the stokers. But here he has surpassed himself. In the opening chapters there are wonderfully bizare clockwork creations (an exploding cow being a particular highlight). But it is when we are introduced to Stickleback himself we find the true beauty of his work. Stickleback with his exposed spine, Mister lug with his two heads, Fiery Jack who appears to be an animated charred corpse. Then there are the Cthulhu type creatures, zombies and wild bill hicock.

If you are a fan of any of Edgington's and D'Isreali's previous works then you owe it to yourself to get this as soon as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars up there with my favourite comic books, 29 Aug 2009

By	nawa - See all my reviews

Having been a bit of a sporadic reader of 2000ad I have missed out on a lot of good strips no doubt, this is because I find gratuitous violence a bit much to stomach if there isn't a solid plotline behind it. Having said that the publication is probably the closest thing to what i want out of a comic and it has been responsible for a great deal of innovation, I also find a lot of the American publications to be too sanitised and unwilling to see the flaws of a story's protaganist(though i'm sure thats a generalisation).
AAAAnyway Stickleback escaped my notice because of my 2000ad sabbatical and so I only picked up on it through this compilation of the two stories, and I'm very glad it was published.
The hero is a villain, its set in Victorian times, involves fantastical characters and Paganism. P.A Keating has already summarised it quite well, I just wanted to add my voice to say that i think this is a great story and that i love it. Stickleback himself is a bit of an enigma and really i think he should be picked up for a film. I wasn't massively impressed by the artwork on a first quick flick through but when you actually read the stories D'Israeli's work suits it absolutely perfectly, black and white with I suspect signs of photoshoppy goodness.
Stickleback you crafty cockney anti-hero! whats your dark secret?
