100 Months

By John Hicklenton

John Hicklenton was one of Britain's leading comic book artists, who took his own life in March 2010 with the assistance of Dignitas in Zurich. 100 Months is an apocalyptic parable of environmental devastation written and drawn in fore knowledge of his own impending death. An intense, hallucinatory story with overtones of Dostoevsky's 'Legend of the Grand Inquisitor' and artwork of breathtaking intensity, it is the crowning achievement of a brilliant career, a true graphic novel that engages ultimate themes of life, death and salvation. Controversial, haunting and tortured in all senses, it will inevitably fuel debate around the issues of taking one's own life. Includes a foreword by Pat Mills.

Reviews for 100 Months

[Migman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Powerful piece of art by a master artist. I remember reading stories he illustrated in 2000AD many decades ago.

[amobogio · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a stunningly gorgeous, beautifully horrific tone poem on despair and death. I loved it and will look for this artist's work (John Hicklenton d. 2010) wherever I can find it.
