Product Description

Product Description
Alex Hunter tries to make sense of being trapped in England's weirdest village, the ghost of the beautiful woman who haunts his dreams, and why the villagers celebrate Christmas in mid-summer. The Amazonian Shaman, Megaron, reveals his tribe's deadly cycle of vengeance; and the village's resident extraterrestrial, Adam, explains away the UFO phenomenon, while behind the scenes a clandestine brotherhood pulls the strings. A complex and intriguing journey through romance, mystery, and the supernatural with a twist of bizarre humor, beautifully illustrated with pencil, pen & ink, painted watercolor, and manipulated photographs. Introduction by Heart of Empire creator Bryan Talbot. New, full-color painted cover by Millidge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comics with originality and intelligence (no really!), 9 Jun 2003
By Shani (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I don't really read many comic books (I read Neil Gaiman's /Sandman/ and then for a while was horribly disappointed at the lack of other good comics out there) but this managed to completely grip me.

Millidge's art is a bit unusual and takes getting used to, but it adds to the whole eerie atmosphere of the Strangehaven comics. It keeps changing from what he calls "slice of life" (about ordinary people going through life) to truly bizarre (like secret societies and talking animals) without ever telling you which is supposed to be the "real".

Strangehaven is populated by a large number of people, each with their very individual personalities and histories and relationships (my favourite is Megaron, an Amazonian Indian :)). Every issue wanders around the village from character to character, weaving several plotlines together into a complicated whole and leaving you desperate to know what happens next.

I would recommend you read the first book before this one, although you can probably enjoy this even without (In my opinion, it's much better than the first - his art has improved as well as his skill at telling stories). The story moves quite slowly, telling it at its own pace rather than relying on sudden great adventures and superheroes like too many comics seem to. All his characters are strangely believable (yes, even when they wander around outside at three in the morning for no apparent reason) and I was immediately drawn into their stories.

All in all, this book is really a great buy. The only drawback is that new issues are rare (quaterly, I think) meaning you are probably left at a cliffhanger for months at a time!

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 3 Feb 2003
By A Customer
I am not a great fan of comic books, but this is one of the few that can hold my attention and leave me longing for the next issue. I think the most brilliant thing about Strangehaven is the characterisation. I really want to know what happens : will Pete leave Beverley? Will Alex and Janey get together? Who are the members of the brotherhood? I love the mix of subjects covered in the book - at one moment you are in the Amazon rainforest; the next you are thinking about aliens in outer space; the next you are in a small village in Devon.

Buy this. It's worth every penny. I wish the issues would appear more often... but if you go for quality rather than quantity I guess it takes time...Keep working Gary - your fans need you!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Prisoner meets The Wicker Man, 6 Feb 2002
By Mr. Paul S. Bird "dagadadagada" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is a real treat. Starting slowly and with an art style that some may take some time to get used to, Strangehaven tells an odd tale of a man who may or may not be trapped in a village after the breakup of his marriage. The inhabitants are an odd bunch, including a Big Liebowski style hippy who claims to be an alien - and may well be. There's also a shamen from the amazon who's resettled after some problems, and a secret society of masonic style men.

Millidge has created a slow moving story that concentrates more on character and detail than fast paced events and shocks. This works well - especially in these two collected volumes where you can allow yourself to get into the unfolding events. The art is interesting - What appears to have happened is that Milledge has taken a series of photos and then drawn over them. This leads to a slightly staged feel, but this adds to the atmosphere of the town.

Certainly I would advise you to read this. Just bear in mind that the individual episodes are most infrequent and once hooked you'll be aching for the next edition!
