Hello all, I need some help, as I know nothing of the genre.
I need to buy a present for a friend of mine. She is an American, self-confessed comic-book nerd, and I like to get her some British stuff, maybe stuff she doesn't know of.
She likes fantasy-horror stuff, a little pornographic (!) Any ideas? John |

'V for vendetta', very british, although she may have already read it. regards jim |

What about something 2000 A.D.? |

It is pretty much impossible to get 2000 A.D. here in the US, so Pictors' suggestion is a good one. I have no idea what from that series would be good. |

If she likes fantasy and horror then try one of these series from 2000AD (all should be available as graphic novels): - Durham Red (vampire science fiction in a sort of 40K universe).
- Slaine – particularly the Horned God series are they are the early stuff (Celtic barbarian).
- Leviathan (fantasy horror on a Titanic type cruise liner)
- Scarlet Traces (steampunk horror) And there's a series about paranormal investigators that has vaguely Hellblazer or Call of Cthulhu type plots but the title completely eludes me at the moment… |

Just gone and looked it up on 2000AD Online 2000adonline.com
That paranormal series was Cabalistics Inc |

Look for some old Jon Sable comics (First Comics). |

This is great stuff, thanks. How about the, er, more, 'adult' themed horror fantasy that she seems to like? John |

Slaine is borderline "adult" horror fantasy… |

Thanks to all; Stronty girl, got a cabalsticallythingy compendium, looks like the sort of thing! Many thanks. John |
