As so the climactic battle begins, the land is convulsed and Sláine would have to lead his people not only to victory but to new lands which, through legends and myths, would come to be known today as Ireland.

A new edition of one of the most influential graphic novels ever – in incredible detail and at a scale never before seen! Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition is coming in 2024. I think they’re combined! I mean look at Bill Sienkiewicz – or even some of my stuff. You can see the use of abstract in it. Comic book artists, a lot of them, are real and true artists. The people who draw that line with fine art – they’re the ones that are pretentious. They’re defining themselves and defining me and people like me, and defining themselves against me and separate from me and us and them. You can’t get more pretentious than that. It’s a class system that’s entirely wrong because, again, look at Sienkiewicz’s stuff – you can take his frames and blow them up and it’s a whole other process, I think, because you’re not doing it solely to tell a story for a corporate company. laughs] Well, I mean, pretentiousness is a consciousness of art as it’s being presented and regarded. Talking with Grant, we were talking about the purest form of art – so to do art and to do real art is to do something that would be so utterly unconscious, unpretentious and unconscious. Why paint anything at all? Why even bother? If you’re doing fine art and you want to paint something for yourself, why bother at all? Because when you paint you’re considering a lot of things. How are people going to react to it? Am I going to be a great artist or am I going to be a bad artist? Shall I do this or not do it? If somebody has doubts about it, you’re being pretentious because you’re not really actually doing what you really want to do.

His discoveries would lead him to not only to become the High King, but to become the new Horned God. The Horned God is not only the 'husband' of the Earth Goddess, but also means he has to replace the old Horned God, which turns out to be Slough Feg, who is suppose to have died at the end of his reign, but clings on to life, driving him insane.

They’ve taken 35 years of my hard work to come up with something and they just press a button and just create these images. I think there’s something illegal there, without a doubt, because they’re using my process in a roundabout way. Even without me. The fourth collection of the adventures of Sláine, the Celtic warrior, this one follows his trials and tribulations as, after becoming king of his tribe, he now proposes to gather and unite the tribes of the Earth Goddess under a High King to fight off the twin threats of enemies from the north (the monstrous Fomorians) and the south (the drunes armies lead by the Lord Weird Slough Feg). In the early 2000s Bisley was commissioned to create artwork for the drum kit used by System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan, an avid comic book collector and vendor. Dolmayan commissioned Bisley to illustrate the Hulk and Thing on one drum, while the art for other drums in the kit, which depicted other characters and scenes, were produced by Kevin Eastman, Tim Vigil, and Arthur Adams.

On the other end of the spectrum for you… I found an interview from around – oh jeez – probably from ’93 or ’94 in Tripwire Magazine that was between you and Grant [Morrison] , talking about art – specifically fine art. And one of the first things that you say in this interview is that art is pretentious. Yeah, yeah. There’s a responsibility to a degree. I think it’s nice when people come up to talk to me and ask for advice. It’s kind of nice, isn’t it? But what it’s like being the old guard now..hm..
