 The Friday Review: Button Man: The Killing Game
The creation of Brit-comic stalwarts John Wagner and Arthur Ranson, BUTTON MAN was originally conceived for the ultimately ill-fated anthology title TOXIC, but eventually found a home at the perennial Brit-weekly 2000AD, becoming, in fact, the galaxy's greatest comic's first fully creator-owned strip.
BUTTON MAN was clearly intended as an antidote to the watered down antiheroes, pantomime villains and cartoonish violence characteristic of so many Anglophone comic books of the time, and Wagner remains faithful to that vision to the end; concluding the story with a typically satisfying and fittingly grim resolution.
Reading the collected edition, it's obvious BUTTON MAN was always intended as a graphic novel; whilst this meant it occasionally read awkwardly in episodic format, it obviously pays off here, giving the book a sense of flow that's often absent from Wagner's other serialised works.
