Ukko

Ukko is a small, cantankerous dwarf who serves as the companion and chronicler of the warrior Sláine in the 2000 AD series. He narrates Sláine's mythic Celtic adventures, offering sardonic commentary while tagging along through ancient, supernatural conflicts.

Debuting in the pages of 2000 AD #330 back in 1983, Ukko is a Bronze Age creation of P. Mills and A. Mills who has proven themselves a remarkably durable presence in British comics — 279 catalogued appearances across three full decades is a testament to genuine staying power. Nine of those appearances carry key-issue status, making Ukko a name that serious collectors of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic have good reason to track down. Sharing the anthology's wild, anarchic pages with legends like Joe Dredd, Johnny Alpha, and Rogue Trooper, Ukko has kept some of the most iconic company in all of British comics history. If you're exploring the rich, irreverent world of 2000 AD beyond the obvious headliners, Ukko is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you how deep and rewarding that universe truly runs.
