Preacher, while happily dipping into the ersatz mythological/ supernatural hinterland that forgivably pretentious comic artists have found so convenient - God, the devil, angels, the Grail, vampires, Illuminati-inspired conspiracy theories, and millennial tension - uses them as a means of meditation on more human and timeless themes: friendship, masculinity, honour, love. Still, as I have said, this is the best example of it around, barring Posy Simmonds's Gemma Bovery, of course.
Whether it offers the same satisfaction is another matter entirely, and dependent on one's tolerance or liking for this artform. On a brutally prosaic level, the Preacher series offers, at the cost of about 14 paperback novels, the reading time of about two.
