the ballad of halo jones full colour omnibus edition

Not to mention the brilliance of a career as the greatest living comics writer. What did she do? Everything…Ģ000 AD & Rebellion have a new full-colour omnibus edition coming out in January 2023, coming out in hardcover and deluxe slipcased edition exclusive from the 2000 AD web shop, complete with new introductions by Kieron Gillen and original commissioning editor Steve MacManus, examples of Moore’s original type-written scripts, Gibson’s restored artwork and Barbara Nosenzo’s subtle and sympathetic colouring of Gibson’s delicate art.įirst published in 2000 AD between 19, Halo Jones was Moore’s last work at 2000 AD before he went on to go make a few pretty well-known books – you know, Swamp Thing, Watchmen, The Killing Joke, that sort of thing.

Which brings us to the latest iteration of The Ballad Of Halo Jones, Alan Moore and Ian Gibson’s wonderful feminist space soap opera of hope, loss, change, meaning, and a desire to just … get out. Sure, you’ve already got them, but then a new version comes out and you just somehow find yourself ordering the new version even though you can see the multiple versions sat there on your bookshelves. (And that’s just comics – let’s not even start about the whole Kraftwerk thing – German and English versions in every possible medium I can find.)

We’ve all got them, the things we buy and buy and buy and buy – I’ve got multiple versions of Love & Rockets collections, Bone, so many Alan Moore collections with the same strips again and again, and anything with the words Luther Arkwright on them.
