2000 AD is collecting the five-volume series, Nemesis the Warlock into a Definitive Edition, which will present the complete storyline in order.
Along with the earliest stories “Terror Tube,” “Killer Watt,” “The Sword Sinister,” “The World of Termight” (Book 1), “The Alien Alliance” (Book 2), “The Secret Life of Blitzspear,” and “A Day in the Death of Torquemada,” this edition features development sketches showing the evolution of the cloven-hoofed alien freedom fighter Nemesis and his living spaceship, the Blitzspear.
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!
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 creators Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill into the comics stratosphere.
The first volume is 176 pages in length, and goes on sale on December 5, 2023.
