Actually, back in the early 90s Marvel UK didn't just publish super-heroes (thank god)
Anyone here remember the short-lived Marvel FRONTIER line? They were all intended for mature readers, and dealt with the occult side of the Marvel U (yes, it was Marvel UK's answer to DC's Vertigo, even though it ended up resembling the Marvel EDGE line a bit more). It originally launched in 1993 with three minis. The first one was MORTIGAN GOTH: IMMORTALIS, written by Nick Vince (WARHEADS) and with art by none other than Mark Buckingham, who would go on to fame and fortune with FABLES, but who had already worked with Gaiman on MIRACLEMAN.

As you can see, Buckingham's lovely detailed artwork couldn't be more different from the then-currently fashionable Image artwork. He even adorns the spaces outside the panels (fans of FABLES, of course, are already familiar with this technique)

Can you imagine one of the Founding Fathers of Image doing this sequence of panels instead of one of their typical splash panels?

Anyway, the story was interspersed with occasional flashbacks narrating Mortigan's origin back in 1349, when he beat Mephisto in a game of chess and became immortal. Yes, that Mephisto. Lots of guest stars from the regular Marvel U on this book. This book even had Dr. Strange (and Jacqueline Falsworth) showing up, as well as Baron Blood. Lady Falsworth (Spitfire) had not yet received her second blood transfusion, so she was still positively ancient (well, Buckingham gave her white hair, but her face looked like a 20-year old) and our friend Stephen Strange was at half-strength after having refused to serve the Vishanti during that "War of the 7 Spheres" arc on his own book at the time.

It's really too bad poor Mortigan never got a second mini as this story was actually not half-bad, and the character showed a lot of potential. I was actually surprised he never guest starred on Strange's book (particularly when Buckingham was drawing it, right at the end)

The second mini was DANCES WITH DEMONS, which dealt with Native American mythology, and which Todd might enjoy. It told the story of Nathaniel Great Owl, presumably a Hopi (although it's not entirely clear) the latest in the long line of Ghost-Dancers, who served as "gate-keeper, blocking passage of the unworthy into the world of spirits". The book was written by Simon Jowett (he also wrote BLACK AXE and WILD THINGS for Marvel UK) and with art by future great Charlie Adlard (currently illustrating Kirkman's WALKING DEAD)

Some of the mythological aspects were a bit dodgy, like the Manitou demon on this series (which had absolutely NO relationship with the Algonquin Great Spirit), but it was fun.

Lastly came CHILDREN OF THE VOYAGER by Nick Abadzis & Paul Johnson (whose name should be familar to Vertigo readers)

Again, Johnson's scratchy, almost impressionistic style was the complete opposite of the crap being produced at the time by Liefeld and his clones.

Just before the entire line collapsed, a one-shot came out (under a dreadful painted cover. This was still the 90s, remember)
image

As you can see from the contents, each of the three minis had a further short story continuation (well, the Mortigan Goth piece was actually a sort of prequel) plus the debut of a couple of new strips. "The Fallen" dealt with the Hellfire Club of X-Men fame, back in the 1700s. Not a bad little tale, although it wasn't the best artwork by the usually reliable D'Israeli.
