Alan Moore Americas Best Comics Graphic Novel

Alan Moore Americas Best Comics Graphic Novel. An amazing combination of action, adventure, parody, and humor, AMERICAS BEST COMICS COLLECTED is an incredibley entertaining and diverse volume of satire and iconic heroics. Featuring the likes of THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, TOM STRONG, PROMETHEA, TOP 10 and more! When writer Alan Moore returned to mainstream comics in the late 1990s, he demonstrated his imaginative fecundity by whipping up an entire line of costumed adventurers from scratch. All 10 creations in his America's Best Comics group--inspired by traditional superheroes but marked by Moore's singular ability to reinvigorate the genre--appear in this compilation, including the infamous League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen who require no introduction; Tom Strong, a Doc Savage for modern times; the mystical heroine Promethea; Top 10, often described as "Hill Street Blues with superheroes"; kid genius Jack B. Quick; the Cobweb, a steamy, lingerie-clad lady crimefighter; and Greyshirt, a "gentleman sleuth" inspired by Will Eisner's famous character the Spirit. The longest story spotlights Tom Strong's headstrong teenaged daughter, Tesla Strong, as she travels through a half-dozen alternate universes in search of her family's simian manservant, Solomon; illustrated by a variety of standout artists, this multidimensional yarn shows Moore dipping into several comic-book genres. Not as weighty as Moore's Watchmen (1987) or From Hell (2000), these strips offer superhero kicks for those who may think themselves too sophisticated for juvenile pleasures.
