Finn (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finn was the eponymous hero of a strip written by Pat Mills and appearing in British weekly anthology comicbook Crisis and 2000AD.

Finn was a Cornish mini-cab driver by day, and a white witch fighting an alien race based on the Freemasons by night. He had also fought in the Third World War, (a strip appearing in 2000 AD spinoff Crisis, and used military equipment alongside more traditionally mystical items such as the Hand of Glory.

After three full-length series, the character was suspended due to concerns that he was too similar to Mills' Sláine strip, despite many fans' requests for a cross-over story. It has not been revived since.
