After four years of Hellblazer, we felt like an opportunity to cut lose into a world of outrageous language and sumptuous imagery… and no-one held us back. The scenario of the story is fantastical and allegorical rather than speculatively futuristic. I guess its themes are more broadly philosophical than some of the specific socio/political trends I have engaged with through the more near-future settings of works such as 2020 Visions, Hellblazer: Bad Blood and Narcopolis, etc.[3]

Reception
Black Gate magazine described the series as "everything comics have the potential to achieve…a psychic thought-bomb of words and pictures that blew my mind to bloody smithereens".[4] They finished their review by saying that World Without End is:
A science fiction allegory mixed with fantasy adventure, told with style and skill that any comic creator has to envy. It’s a glorious, mad excursion into a world of erotic dreams and brutal nightmares. Jamie Delano’s power to evoke an entirely strange world ranks with that of sci-fi grandmaster Jack Vance. John Higgins’ stunning paints, his storytelling ability, his dynamic use of color to create surreal moods and absurd realities, it’s all the stuff of legend.[4]
