I started reading comics in the UK when I was about 9 yrs old. At first it was marvel reprints, then 2000AD came out in the mid 70's and everything changed. Every week, pure thrillpower would beam into my brain. The stories were variable, the art wide ranging in talent, but it was a breeding ground for some of the very best the industry has to offer. Alan Moore, what can I say? The man has produced incredible work that stays with me. I bought this hoping to revisit my youth, and was astonished at what I had forgotten, how much of the pithy shorter tales in 2000AD were from his pen. Receiving this volume was like owning a time machine back to my more naive days. The stories may be simple, or based on old canards in some cases, but the execution is fun, and shows a side of Alan Moore that many may think difficult to find. The man has a great sense of humor! I cherished re-reading the Abelard Snazz stories, I had flashbacks to more innocent times with the time twisters tales. Reading these stories dredged up forgotten memories from the depths of my brain. It was like a 30th years reunion with my own past. I loved it.Best of all, this is Alan Moore I can share with my nine year old, he can read them, and appreciate the stories as I did.This was a great buy.
This book, like most of the really early Alan Moore material, is for a Moore completest... Most of it is not up to par with Moore's Swampthing or later material. However, you do get to see the beginnings of his genius.Most of the material is sort of tedious (by modern standards), but every now and again a story will stand out (mostly in the middle of the book - the reverse time material).If you want great Moore material go for his run on Swampthing, Promethia, From Hell, Miracleman, Neonomicon, or The Watchmen... If you want to see early Moore then this is an OK source, but I think Halo Jones would still be better.
enjoyable comic style .black and white. short sci fi stories with dark an sometimes humourous twist. light reading. in the vain of 2000ad
