Writers: Alan Moore, Antony Johnston
Artist: Juan Jose Ryp

Publisher: Avatar

Just enough is what Moore and Johnston have delivered amongst the carnage of Ryp's beautiful pen line. It's all detail and destruction, like Geof HARDBOILED Darrow, with all the perspective but none of the space.

So don't judge this book by its improbably ugly cover, the real goods lie inside (loved the Alsatian with the machine gun choker and the hurricane left in The Hairy One's wake). And as I said, the information overload is quietly countered by a minimum of language.

The series of three shorts read like poetical pop promos, as a chap pops out for a summertime stroll (well, maybe), the second short reports a glamour of gunfire, and, finally, old man Alan plays the Pied Piper, and takes in the trash for a final defiant romance.
