Format:Paperback
One of Alan Moore's fairly early works, and among them only really bettered by The Ballad of Halo Jones and V for Vendetta. The story of two alien delinquents with a destruction addiction is just pure, ludicrous FUN, and absolutely hilarious. Do yourself a favour and buy this.
The only reason it doesn't get the full five stars is because some of the reproduction is really not as good as it could be, which is a shame (and there's really no excuse, given that earlier editions were fine) and it all ends far too soon.

Format:Paperback
One of the great 2000ad strips ruined by a terrible reprint that loses all the detail of the original artwork. Avoid this and buy the earlier version.

Brilliantly funny - and very silly - the adventures of the revolting Waldo "D.R." ("Diminished Responsibility") Dobbs and Ernest Quinch represent some of the best stories of their type from the early days of "2000AD". Moore's scripts are perfectly realised by Alan Davies' art as our "heroes" progress from the throwaway protagonists of a one-off "Time Twister" to fully-fledged stars. With digs at teen romance, the Vietnam War, celebrity and Hollywood (particularly apt in retrospect, considering Moore's now legendary contempt for the movies industry), the pair battle petty bureaucats, psychotic ex-girlfiends and deranged war veterans in universe dotted with some very familiar faces (the Marlon Brando cameo is now legendary).
A great collection of stories by a writer and artist on absolutely top form - an "must" purchase!

Back before all Alan Moore stories had to have lots of sex in them and he wrote for 2000AD, this was one of the funniest strips around. Read more

Still very funny..
Some parts of the artwork haven't reproduced very well, but this is still hilarious the second time round. Alan Moore at his best, before he got serious.

DR & Quinch
Not Alan Moore's best but, at the level of student humour, it can be very funny.

Genius
Alan Moores funniest writing. More famous for 'From Hel', and 'Watchmen', DR & Quinch was one of Alan Moores earliest works (1983!), and remains his funniest writing. Read more
