2000 AD in Stages

American Reaper

Pat Mills & Clint Langley collaborated for years on Slaine with The Books of Invasion (2002-2006) and Slaine the Wanderer arcs (2002-2010). One of the key aspects of Clint Langley's work on Slaine was a unique blend of photography and art: something that is also used here.

Going beyond just an art style, there's an entire design aesthetic that presents a USA that's near-future in terms of its cyberpunk plotting but steeped in a mythical post-war americana redolent of American Graffiti, but with a dystopian flavour.

Rather than just present the tale in comic strip form, there's also a supporting structure of adverts, wanted posters and one-shots (in the form of the Reaper Files) that provide depth to a world in which young people have become a commodity to be consumed by the old and rich.
