I loved Watchmen, and Thee League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series, nothing whatsoever like the movie. I have Saga of the Swamp Thing waiting to be read with The Killing Joke. I wanna read The Lost Girls just to see how trippy and erotic it is. Anybody here see it yet?

I have a huge soft spot for Top 10 though. Not sure why.

The packaging is absolutely brilliant and the artwork truly something else. I'd only recommend Lost Girls (as of far) if you are a big fan of Moore and want something "different" in regards to read. Plus it helps if you know what you are getting in to

Watchmen looks amazing, i think i'll have to check out his stuff.

QFT although the From Hell film sucked and V was very liberal compared to the source Alan Moore created... for example V sure as hell isn't as graceful in the graphic novel...

Infact, here's a great interview for you: [www.stewartlee.co.uk] Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/15/2009 04:15PM by MacabreMagpie.
