The written intersections in the book ( of varying ‘written’ nature) required my patience but added perspective. In a historically twisted world, numerous layered tales are served, that eventually all interact and interconnect ( with the Pirates’ book-in-the-book and its writer’s role as supreme example). Guess why it took 4 years.Īs usually with Alan Moore it was worthwhile. Moore’s works are truly ‘Graphic Novels’, balancing images and narration (both of high quality). Because of the figuring personas, their psychology and backgrounds, a complete society sketched and, not to be underestimated, the plot.
As I (luckily) also did with From Hell and V for Vendetta.Īs usually with Alan Moore it took me some time to get through it. Because I first wanted to read the Watchmen book.
