“Thine is the task of blood.
Discharge thy task with mercy.
Let thy victim feel no pain.
Let sudden blow bring death;
Such death as thou thyself would ask for.”
The Slaughterman’s Creed
Sidney is a professional killer working for Big Lenny Addison, a London ganglord specialising in human trafficking. He is almost completely uneducated except in his family’s trade – at which he is an unparalleled expert.
When he is called upon to breach his code and bring a pregnant woman to slaughter, Sidney's world is changed forever. Betrayed by those he has served his whole life, the Slaughterman embarks on a bloody vendetta - determined to bring Addison's entire monstrous empire to the blade.
The short form pitch for it would be “Get Carter” meets “Lone Wolf and Cub” in an abattoir.
I will be joined once again by my Cancertown co-conspirators, with art by Stephen Downey (whose initial concept sketches can be seen on this page) and letters by Nic Wilkinson.
Slaughterman's Creed is a 5-issue mini-series:
