Product Description

Product Description
Finally collected, here is one of Alan Moore's greatest works and his most critically acclaimed novella of all time, painstakingly adapted to comic books. Moore's frequent collaborator Antony Johnston has carefully preserved the story as it is presented in sequential form with stunning grey-painted art by sensations Lorenzo Lorente and Sebastian Fiumara. What would you pay to learn the innermost secrets of wizards? Young prostitute Som Som has made the ultimate sacrifice; literally sworn to secrecy by cosmetic surgery, the two halves of Som Som's brain have been severed, leaving her able to hear and see...but not speak or act. Now Som Som's unique attributes will put her firmly in the center of an impossible dilemma, as an old friend return to The House Without Clocks, and a deadly game of domination begins...This collected volume contains the entire four issue series, the full text of the original story, and both artist's original design sketches. It is also available in a limited hardcover edition (978-1-5929-1039-7).

2.0 out of 5 stars Only half a GRAPHIC novel! beware!, 27 Feb 2009
By K. bruce "Creative Thinker" (U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just thought I would take the time to review this book after purchasing it recently- having been intrigued by the storyline and of course the fact that it was written by Mr. Moore himself!

Now I'm not afraid of text only books, in fact I have plenty and at one point that was all that I read, I only discovered the graphic novel recently and since then I have been collecting and reading as many as I can get my hands on! I have read watchmen, the swamp thing saga, tank girl, some 30 days of night, tekkonkinkreet, the league of gentlemen-moore, wildcats, silent hill, black hole, silverfish etc etc.

And whilst I find color more interesting to look at, I don't mind B&W if there is alot of shading, so that the predominant colors are blacks and greys rather than white with black outlines- I find that visually chaotic and it gives me a headache just trying to work it out! (halo jones for example, another disappointment due to the chaotic black and white scrawls everywhere) anyway this book is also in B&W but with shading, so the result is a pleasing array of blacks, greys, and whites, giving you nice clear image and the text is clearly definable from the image-(unlike halo jones in which the text and drawings are exactly the same so there is nothing interesting on the page just black and white everywhere- yuk!)

Anyway my review is about this book, which I HAVE NOT READ because after flicking through discovered that only half of it is a graphic novel and the other half is text only, this gives the impression that the artists could not be bothered to finish the work but it was published anyway, so it feels like a half-hearted attempt basically to make some cash! The first half that is a graphic novel doesn't flow like a typical GN does, ie: people talking to one another, action, etc, it's just a series of images with narrator type speech in boxes above the image, with some occasional dialogue, it's more reminiscent of the internet (now on DVD) flash based series "Broken Saints" which was basically a graphic novel/comic that was mildly animated with sound for the internet - after much success the creators were given a budget to do it again as a DVD...

anyway I give this novel 2 stars for the fact that it's Alan moore, has some nice artwork and an interesting premise, however I wouldn't really recommend it, buy his other stuff instead.

NOTES: This was a book before it was translated into an illustrated graphic novel, however that does not excuse the fact that is was not finished as a graphic novel.
