Dom Morris' strip Sadist ran in Deadline magazine from May 1994 to November 1995 when the magazine folded. This guide covers those episodes. For details on previous incarnations and scans from Lobster Telephone visit The Official Home of Harold Sadist
Episode

Deadline 62 (May 1994)
Harry Sadist is called away from the football by his employer Teenscene after
a heated debate about who owes who a favour. Mr Teenscene has been approached
by the Palace to increase Princess Mink's publicity. Teenscene asks Harry to
'babysit' her...
Episode 2

Sadist and Nev interrupt Mink's suicide and take a severe beating before Harry

Jaques Meoff in a HGV allows their escape.

Sadist and Mink get their Kebab-burger and bond. Unfortunately Mink sets off
on a PCP-fuelled Off-Licence robbery to finance her new life.
Episode

Deadline 65 (October/November 1994)
Mink's drug assisted robbery ends in carnage when the police arrive with guns
and a tank. This issue also features "R.T.A." The Official Sadist
Boardgame. The closing panel features the newsline "Mink in PCP Fuelled
Drink Drive Armed Robbery Homo Sex-Op Slaughter"
Episode 5
Deadline 66 (December 1994/January 1995)
Harry awakes in hospital after a six month coma. Sadist confronts Teenscene
and they go to Minks trial. Sadist's intevention leads to Mink's death and a
renewed public love of the Royals. As revenge Teenscene has Sadist molested
by a polar bear named Otto.
Episode 1 Tough Shit
Deadline 69 (June/July 1995)
Teenscene is off to a conference about censorship, Sadist abducts a schoolgirl
who turns out to be an old flame, and an accident involving Urban Pacifier and
one of Sadist's turds, turns the population to zombies hungry for brains.
Episode 2 - Chicken Shit
Deadline 70 (August/September 1995)
Amina Warren gets speedgunned and tasered, Sadist gets into a cockfight, and
the gang torture Julian Pope, son of Careen's Headmaster, about his fathers
whereabouts.
Episode 3 - Heavy Shit
Deadline 71 (October/November 1995)
Sadist plays chicken with the UN taskforce sent to quell the zombies, and Teenscene
and entourage go to have a 'quiet word with Fred Pope'. Unfortunately they are
ambushed and beaten senseless by Pope's goons who bear an odd resemblance to
Tor Johnson and Vampira. The episode features Christian comics Cock and Bull
and ends with a brainwashed Sadist talking about God.
And that was that. The next issue was apparently to be called Holy Shit, but Deadline folded (something to do with the Tank Girl movie - don't get me started...) and no collected graphic novel appeared.
I have since found The Official Home of Harold Sadist which contains Harry Sadist's earlier incarnations, and an earlier version of 'series one'. There are also scans of the final, unpublished, episode of Holy Shit!
