Zitat:
John Hicklenton: 100 Months
After a long, agonising battle with Multiple Sclerosis, famed 2000AD artist John Hicklenton took his own life at the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland on March 19th 2010. 100 Months unleashes the vengeance of Mara, Earth Goddess, in a mythic metaphor both for the environmental evils of capitalism and for John’s own struggles with his illness. It stands as his tortured, crowning masterwork, as seen in six pieces of his remarkable, large-scale original artwork. A special Comica tribute event for Hicklenton and this book is being planned with his long-time collaborator, writer Pat Mills.
