Book description
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. John Hicklenton was one of Britain's leading
