After a decade and a half of living my sci-fi swashbuckling dreams, we've finally told Dante's last tale. Yes, it's been a bit like sending my first-born son off to college. Moving to a different topic briefly, you recently closed your epic, decade-plus saga 'Nikolai Dante' for '2000 AD.' What was that experience like for you?
