Sorprendido me hallo de encontrar en un sitio como Image a un disc��pulo de 2000 A.D. en general y de Pat Mills en particular y que dibuja como Fernando de Felipe (el veterano lector de la ��ltima etapa de Zona 84 se acordar�� de cosas como Museum, o fuera ya de la revista, de El hombre que r��e). Me he divertido mucho con esta demenciada versi��n del "h��roe de las mil caras" entre orcos enloquecidos, que, aunque cae en el t��pico argumental en varias ocasiones, Stokoe es capaz de rematar con soltura y mucha gracia, dej��ndome con ganas de m��s. Bizarre and grotesque and cheeky, yet wonderfully illustrated and beautifully colored. The most compelling aspect of it, though, is not really the illustration or the outlandishness, but how succinct Stokoe is at world-building. Every detail is laid out very naturally; some elements are worth explaining, while others are subversively placed in the background. It's all very rich and suggests that Stokoe is very skilled at creating an absorbing environment as much as he is at illustrating or telling a good story (the plot isn't very fresh or original, but that's excusable given how fresh [or rotten, rather, in the best possible way] the rest of the book is).
What do You think about Orc Stain, Vol. 1 (2010)?
Tank Girl meets Lord of the Rings trilogy, vibrant colors nice brushwork, humorous storyline.

Possibly the craziest fucking thing I've ever read. But damned fun. Look forward to more.

the best art with a story centered around gonches (dicks). what's not to love.

The art is trippy. That's pretty much all it has going for it.
