- Maze World
-
Mazeworld (all one word despite what it says above) is a fantasy story created by Alan Grant and Arthur Ranson for sci-fi comic 2000 AD.[1][2] A hanged man ‘wakes‘ in a world where both architecture and ethos are based in mazes. The hood he wears for his execution remains with him and he is used by both authorities and rebels as the awaited folk hero 'The Hooded Man'. The self-centred 'hero'
goes through a series of adventures involving treachery and magic that have connections to 'the real world' where a comatose version of him exists.
The strip ran in three parts. ‘Hanged Man’ July - August 1998. ‘Dark Man’ July–September 1999. ‘Hell Maze' July–October 2000.[3] It had what its creators call a ’disappointing’ reception[4], though there is now a Facebook campaign to see it reprinted.[5] 2000AD publishers Rebellion have bought out the complete story as a graphic novel.November 2011.
