‘Pond scum’ says Miller as comic book masters line up on opposite sides of the Occupy fence
Having departed DC Comics for the indie environs of Top Shelf Comix, Alan Moore returns with his most fun work, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And in this latest instalment, Century, the series is in rude health, with the meta-fictional concept as vigorous and compelling as ever.
Although it's Alan Moore that typically leaps to mind when the seminal, award-winning series Watchmen (1986) is mentioned, it's impossible to underestimate the enormous contribution of artist and co-creator Dave Gibbons. His virtuoso work was instrumental in the dazzling manipulation of Comics' visual language, and is justly being celebrated in this lavish hardcover book, flashily designed by Chip Kidd.
