Hero # 26
(US Comics Magazine) August 1995
IN THE WORKS
In
case you don't remember the word "Abiogenesis" from your high school
biology class, it's the spontaneous formation of life from unliving matter
- which is as good a description of the creative process as any. At present,
it's a one-man outfit run by newcomer Gary Spencer Millidge out of Southend-on-Sea
in Essex, England. Abiogenesis' first series is Strangehaven, and if you're
a fan of Twin Peaks, Picket Fences or the old Prisoner series, this is the
book for you. Alex Hunter finds himself trapped in the mysterious village of
Strangehaven, but with the idyllic surroundings, pleasant company and great
beer at the Minotaur tavern, why should he ever want to leave? Why indeed….
If you didn't catch the first issue when
it hit the stands in July, # 2 ships in September and features Megaron the
ex-Amazon shaman, the secret brotherhood of evil, Adam the Alien, Suzie Tang
and, of course, Alex. Gary Spencer Millidge writes, draws and paints some mighty
cool covers as well. If you can't wait that long, Millidge has done an eight-page
Strangehaven story for the August issue of Negative Burn (#26) that has Strangehaven's
local constable, Sergeant Clarke, trying to track down a missing amulet.
