The Ballard of Halo Jones


Well it's not been that long since I won these three trades on ebay and I've not wasted too much time getting round to reading them.


It's early Alan Moore and it's very good. I'm not a massive fan of Gibson's angular work (although the three covers are lovely) but he's OK and the story more than compensates.

 I particularly liked the way it was neatly diveded into 3 parts (or books) and the ending was never obvious. In fact I half suspected our heroine not to survive. Ballards can be sad after all.

I'm very glad I have managed to read these after all these years. This originally came out in 1985 for goodnessake!
