2114. Our world and the Mega-Cities that are home to the last vestiges of humanity are constantly preyed upon by bestial forces from beyond the realms of decency. Thankfully such things are kept at bay by spiritual envoys employed by Vatican City, such as Devlin Waugh a Brit-Cit born bon viveur dandy and jolly good fellow to boot. When Vatican precognitive telepaths predict a horrific presence at the underwater prison of Aquatraz, Devlin is sent in to investigate and uncovers an uncompromising evil which will cause him to cancel elevenses and throw away the Queensbury rulebook in order to survive! A 2000 AD graphic novel.

Product description

From the Back Cover

In Judge Dredd's world, where psychic phenomena are commonplace, and horrors from beyond the imagination can invade our reality at any time, one man stands against the terror - freelance Vatican operative, athlete, aesthete and bon vivant Devlin Waugh, whose talent for fisticuffs is matched only by his penchant for vicious tongue-lashings! When the Vatican's pre-cognitive telepaths detect a future problem in the high-tech underwater prison of Aquatraz, Devlin is sent to investigate. But when he discovers the truth, will he turn out to have bitten off more than he can chew?

5.0 out of 5 stars Vampyric fun ahoy!

Very nice artwork, Devlin is a great character who has a fantastic way with words.
The combination of upper class, body-building, ultra violent enforcer for the church (no-less) is refreshing and leads to some brilliant dialogue.
Now lets see how you fare against an Englishman when his dander is up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Camp vamp-buster!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2004
Devlin Waugh is like few other comic-book heroes. A bodybuilding, flower-arranging priest with an eye for beautiful boys and a handy way with extremely big guns, Devlin survived a steroid abuse scandal in the Olympics to become the future Vatican City-state's chief exorcist and paranormal warrior.
As Aquatraz underwater prison - home to some of the world's most vicious killers - is overrun by a vampire infestation, a loose gang of nurses, wardens and pest controllers must come together to fight this evil menace. But around the corner lies someone even more scary. Clenching a cigarette holder between perfect teeth, he purrs "You can rest easy, gentlemen. Fingers OFF the triggers. My name is Devlin Waugh. I'm here to steal the show..."
This series, originally run in The Judge Dredd Megazine, had a positive reaction like no other before or since. In the annual poll of readers' opinions, Waugh became the first and last character ever to knock Judge Dredd off the top spot as Favourite Character.
If you've ever wondered what would happen if Oscar Wilde and the cast of Brideshead Revisited were to be merged with Deathrace 2000, The Evil Dead and the Terminator, now's your chance to find out...
