More Alan Moore
Grab an early work from a pretty OK comic writer
As an official comic book fan, you are contractually
obligated to care about everything Alan Moore has done or ever will do. Thus
Geek Chic Daily, as a fully licensed and accredited purveyor of comic book
information, is required to alert you to the release of Moore’s The Complete
D.R. & Quinch.
We’re also letting you know about it because it’s awesome.
Moore and renowned artist Alan Davis originally created the
characters of Ernest Errol Quinch and Waldo “D.R.” Dobbs (the D.R. stands for
“Diminished Responsibility”) in 1983 for the British sci-fi comic 2000 AD—a book which featured many rotating stories and is
best known for birthing Judge Dredd. With D.R. and Quinch, Moore created two pain-in-the-ass
alien teenagers who, in their first brief outing, mucked about with time travel
and made a complete shambles of Earth’s history. Their first tale proved so
popular, Moore and Davis brought the alien duo back several times over the
following years for further intergalactic shenanigans.
The new graphic novel collects all those adventures and
marks the first time in years the stories will be available in the United
States. Grab it before someone realizes the only Alan Moore books on your shelf are Watchmen,
From Hell and V for Vendetta. And The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And Batman: The Killing Joke.
And you call yourself a fan.
