Thistlebone
Author(s): T.C. Eglington, Simon Davis

Review(s):
"Simon Davis’ artwork really is some of the best he’s ever done. Magnificent." -- Comicon.com
"Hits all the right buttons ... More please." -- All-Comic
"Feels like visiting a novel by Stephen King. The eerie atmosphere, the supernatural undertones but, perhaps most importantly, the grounded approach to storytelling," -- Multiversity Comics
"It’s an incredible strip, full of taut, tight storytelling, a lesson in how to build tension, send a chill down your spine, make you wonder just where it’s all going to go, Thistlebone is one of those strips that may well be remembered long in the memory of comic fans." - comicon.com
"Very firmly in the British horror vein that 2000 AD does so well" - All-Comic
"Brings serious chill-power to 2000 AD" - Doomrocket
