Magnum Comics #1/1994
"Kärlek i Bagdad" kicks off Magnum Comics #1/1994 with a delightfully absurd premise: Big Dave, a hulking British agent, is sent to assassinate Saddam Hussein, armed with dogs and the enigmatic Big Terry, the archbishop’s henchman. But when Saddam acquires a love cannon from aliens—capable of pacifying Earth’s armies—his plan to conquer the world takes a wildly unexpected turn. Written by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, and illustrated with gritty precision by Steve Parkhouse, the issue’s cover by Simon Bisley delivers a surreal, high-octane vision that perfectly captures the comic’s anarchic tone.
In "Kärlek i Bagdad," Big Dave—Britain’s most unhinged operative—embarks on a mission to assassinate Saddam Hussein, aided by his loyal hound and the unlikely ally Big Terry, the archbishop’s flamboyant jester. But when Saddam acquires a mysterious alien love cannon designed to pacify Earth’s armies, the stakes of the mission spiral into absurd, high-stakes satire.
In the grim twilight of a forgotten war, the barbarian Kyrn seeks immortality to continue his endless crusade against the eastern cities. Haunted by a fate he cannot escape, he encounters the enigmatic Augur in a final, desperate battle—only to discover he can no longer die.
