And Eddie Campbell.

Alan's artist collaborators tend to rightfully get quite annoyed when people insist on talking about "Alan Moore's Watchmen", "Alan Moore's V For Vendetta" etc.

It takes two or more people to make a comic, usually.

No offence to Eddie meant! it's just I don't recognise the name, whereas I know a story with "Alan Moore" stamped on it is a sign of good quality.

Has Campbell done anything I'd recognise in 2K?  I've read very little comic stuff outside of the Megs & the Progs...

[GordonR]

No. nothing at all in 2000AD, or mainstream comics in general, at least as far as I'm aware.

Eddie's known best for his own writer-artist stuff like Bacchus and some autobiogrphical work.

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't buy a graphic novel just because of David Lloyd or Eddie campbell, even though I like the artist!  

In fact I only ever bought a graphic novel once because of an artist and that was Camelot 3000 by Brian Bolland, and I regretted that!

Thats because great art doesn't make a great story (though if you get Carlos in, it can cover up some inadequecies) yet bad art can hamper a good tale.  Of course, Alan Moore treats his work as a collaborration as it should rightly be.

Well if you don't like 'Camelot 3000' I'll buy it from you. I sort of fancy it but aren't too sure. Second hand appeals...

Glad you posted that PVS, as well as drooling after Alan Moore (if you know what i mean ) I also love Brian Bolland - hence Killing Joke is right up my alley!

I've been looking for other BB graphic novels and I've been pondering Camelot 3000 - reckon I'll give it a wide berth now.
