History[]
Harry Kipling, the hero of the 2000 AD strip Harry Kipling (Deceased), is the last bastion of Britishness in a world that's gone to Hell. The Empire of Neo-Britannia has collapsed, and the Earth is now infested by the minor gods and demons, sprites and pixies and other random nonsense of a thousand tiresome foreign climes, as well as more'n a few of our own, for that matter. They sit around, bickering amongst themselves and generally cluttering up the place while trying to impose their own damnable creed on good old England and the world entire, and someone's got to stop them. That someone is Harry Kipling, undead but unbowed, a zombie god-killer with an elephant gun and a taste for Earl Grey tea, who has dedicated his afterlife to clearing the decks of these supernatural Johnnies and their filthy foreign ways, aided by Neesha (a bewildered but loyal refugee from another world) and Klux (an intelligent weapon).
Trouble is, Harry has been manipulated since his unexpected resurrection by an unnamed god, and he's very far from happy about it. Mister Kipling intends to track down his unwanted patron — and when he does, he won't be presenting him with any cakes!
