The Slaughter Swine

The Slaughter Swine is a satirical slasher villain who parodies the overused tropes of horror franchises. Originally introduced as a recurring antagonist, the character has undergone various transformations, often reflecting the absurdity and excesses of the genre. Each installment in the series reinvents the Swine, placing him in increasingly bizarre and humorous scenarios that both homage and lampoon classic slasher conventions.

This edition collects the three chapters of the Slaughter Swine series, presenting them together in english for the first time:

The Slaughter Swine XIII – New Blood
Chapter one reboots a long-running slasher franchise, with the Slaughter Swine rising from the dead once again—only this time, he becomes the hunted. Chaos erupts when he faces a silver-medalist athlete from Øster Bøvlinge Idrætsefterskole.

The Slaughter Swine – Meat Chaos in Circulation
Chapter two catapults the Slaughter Swine into space, where he is experimented on aboard the Thunderbird II. The result: a remote-controlled killing machine. Predictably, everything goes wrong, and he wreaks havoc with upgraded weapons, ending with a shocking twist that proves even legendary slasher villains aren’t safe in orbit.

The Slaughter Swine – Raised for Terror
Chapter three follows superhero Big Bad Wolf and sidekick Little Red Riding Hood as they battle the Slaughter Swine, while Verden i dag examines comics as corrupting youth, citing Heino Svendsen as a cautionary example. Amid the chaos, the characters clash violently, with a nod to a real 1955 book adding an extra layer to the story.
