3.0 out of 5 stars The Magician's House Party, 18 Jun 2003
A comics website made the wry comment in previewing this book that it contained lots of well-disguised adverts for other people's books. I would revise that to say it contained lots of BADLY-disguised adverts for others' works. In fact, some aren't disguised atall. Dave Sim, I'm looking at you.

Yes, this is a 'tribute' work. The best material in it are conversations/prose correspondance with Moore himself, in which he expounds (at length and very very entertainingly) about his interests in such concepts as magic, storytelling, the comics industry, meme theory and his research for From Hell).

However, the rest is of varied qulaity and sit unsure next to each other - comic strip biographies next to silly but fun cartoons next to academic reviews next to personal reminisces (some of which are deadly dull and revolve around what a nice man Mr Moore is to share a drink with, one of which comes scarily near to shattering all your preconceptions of the man as nice gent)next to bizaree short stories obsessed with referencing every single Moore comic.

Hardly an essential item by any means, it does provide a good read and some nice new artwork of Moore charcaters... but don't expect anything comprehensive or definitive.
