Due to unprecedented fan demand, Rebellion is pleased to announce that the forthcoming release of Nemesis the Warlock: The Definitive Edition will be bigger AND better – printed larger than any previous edition of the landmark 2000 AD series!
Both paperback and hardcovers editions of the five-volume Nemesis the Warlock: The Definitive Edition series will now be published in a large-format size measuring 307 x 231mm (as opposed to 276 × 210mm).
Long regarded as one of the crown-jewel epics from the pages of 2000 AD, this new series of paperbacks of Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill’s Nemesis the Warlock is being published alongside gorgeous hardcover editions with stunningly designed new covers – available only from the 2000 AD webshop – that present O’Neill’s groundbreaking and mind-bending art in all its glory.
After considering feedback from fans, Rebellion has boosted the
dimensions of the collections to an over-sized format, making it larger
than any previous edition.
And, for the first time, these editions will properly reprint the
Nemesis the Warlock stories in their original publication order. They
will also feature colour pages, as well as new high-resolution scans of
the original stories, and all the covers and pin-ups from each era.
The first 176-page volume is on sale from 5 December, with pre-orders open now from 2000 AD and online retailers. Copies will be available to order through Diamond’s Previews catalogue.
The first volume will feature the stories ‘Terror Tube’, ‘Killer
Watt’, ‘The Sword Sinister’, ‘The World of Termight’, ‘Alien Alliance’,
‘Secret Life of Blitzspear’, and ‘A Day in the Death of Torquemada’ from
2000 AD, as well as development sketches showing the evolution
of the cloven-hoofed alien freedom fighter Nemesis and his living
spaceship, the Blitzspear – plus a panel from 1981 drawn by series
creator O’Neill that acted as an apology to readers when the last few
episodes of ‘The World of Termight’ were late.
Burning with iconoclastic fire and wild invention, Nemesis the
Warlock is the satirical sci-fi space opera that helped place 2000 AD as
the true cutting edge, and catapulted Mills and O’Neill into the comics
stratosphere.
Termight is the ruling planet of a cruel galactic empire, an empire led by the diabolically evil Torquemada, a twisted human despot intent on purging all alien life from the galaxy and punishing the deviants. His motto: Be pure! Be vigilant! Behave!
But there is rebellion and resistance to his rule in the form of a devilish-looking alien warlock called Nemesis, who represents everything that Torquemada hates and fears. Together Nemesis and Torquemada are locked in a duel which will affect the fate of humanity and each of them on a personal level as their conflict spans time and space!
The first volume of Nemesis the Warlock: The Definitive Edition
is out on 5 December from all good book and comic book stores, with a
digital edition and the hardcover edition available exclusively from
2000AD.com.
And now, this week's release...
