About the author

Alan Moore is an English writer most famous for his influential work in comics, including the acclaimed graphic novels Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. He has also written a novel, Voice of the Fire, and performs "workings" (one-off performance art/spoken word pieces) with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some of which have been released on CD.

As a comics writer, Moore is notable for being one of the first writers to apply literary and formalist sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson and Iain Sinclair; New Wave science fiction writers such as Michael Moorcock; horror writers such as Clive Barker; to the cinematic–filmmakers such as Nicolas Roeg. Influences within comics include Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby and Bryan Talbot.

Reviews

[Emilio Arias H. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Historias de descontrol, violencia y mucho humor satírico (y pinceladas de crítica social) de la mano del mago de Northampton en los guiones. Se parodia a la guerra (¿semejante a Vietnam?), al amor e incluso a la industria cinematográfica de Hollywood.

Mis puntajes:
-"D.R. & Quinch lo pasan bomba en la Tierra", 3.
-"D.R. & Quinch se reforman", 3.
-"D.R. & Quinch locos por una chica", 3.
-"D.R. & Quinch son reclutados", 4.
-"D.R. & Quinch van a Hollywood", 4.
-"D.R. & Quinch vuelven a la naturaleza", 3.
-"Las increíblemente insoportables páginas de agonía de D.R. & Quinch", 3.

Tras hacerse un lugar en la historieta británica, Alan Moore y Alan Davis intentaron escapar al encasillamiento con una sátira corrosiva y violenta para 2000 AD con resultados acordes a la línea del guionista en su etapa británica, logrando entretener pese a traicionar a ratos el contenido por el estilo. Los episodios finales escritos por Jamie Delano, aunque fieles a la propuesta base, evidencian el fácil desgaste en el que pudo caer bajo otras plumas.

One of my favourite comic books series ever. EVER!

Recopilatorio que aparentemente incluye todo lo que previamente publicó Dude Cómics más el agregado de las historias guionizadas por Delano.

Did I miss something here? This was not funny, not even silly. This was not violent as it tried to be, this was just a slap on a wrist with limp penis.
Nice pictures anyway.

Divertentissima collezione di storie semi-antologiche su un duo punk e senza freni. Scorretto, pazzo e anarchico. D.R. uno dei miei nuovi personaggi preferiti del medium. Incredibile come Moore sappia scrivere anche commedie che non invecchiano ma anzi, sta quasi al passo con i tempi

This collection was much funnier than I was expecting, although I don't know why I was expecting it to be less funny considering it's an Alan Moore penned comic-strip - I guess I wasn't expecting the material to still be poignant, but then again, war and violence never really do get old, do they?

I will say to the negative that this wasn't the best reproduction of the original material, I assume because they were working from the original, poorly-aged prints or something, because it had no business being as blurry as it was, so much so that some of the bolded words were practically illegible.

Silly, bombastic, celebrating the sociopathic and generally providing the brash sort of comedy that we've come to know and love from the 2000AD world. For those not familiar with 2000AD who are expecting Moore's more cerebral stuff (Watchmen, V etc), this ain't that. I thought Pulger looked lovely in the dress.

Alan Moore writes crazy teenagers. Decent-ish.

[Brent · Rating 4 out of 5]

Big fun: the word is farce of a high order.

[Lynne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'd forgotten just how nonsensical these two are. Very silly! However, the extremely small text in some panels made it a bit difficult to read at times. Nice wee blast from the past though!
