Slaine is a British fantasy comic from the worlds of 2000AD, marking it as one of the rare pure fantasy stories to run in that anthology, which instead tends to focus on science fiction, horror, and Science Fantasy.
How to describe Slaine... borrowing deeply from Irish Celtic mythology and history, but with rampant sexuality, gore and profanity, Slaine could be considered 2000AD's counterpart to Conan the Barbarian. The titular Slaine is a badass brute of an Irish Celt who roams the land, banging women and battling fools and monsters, ultimately being used as the agent of the triple-aspected Earthmother Goddess, Danu.
Like Judge Dredd, Slaine is /tg/relevant because he got a D20 System tie-in RPG produced by Mongoose Publishing.
