5.0 out of 5 stars A strange idea that works, 18 May 2007

By	Mark Grant (Canada (was London, UK)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Somehow the idea of producing an audio book version of a comic, particularly one as visual and complex as 'Luther Arkwright', had never even occured to me. But this is a very valiant attempt and it's hard to see how anyone could have done it better.

While a few elements of the Arkwright story are a little cliched decades after it was first put on paper, it still works well and the writer of the audio adaption has done a good job of converting the comic into dialog and sound effects; though I could imagine a few parts might be a little confusing to someone who's never read the comic. The acting is good, it's nice to hear Paul Darrow in a role more recent than 'Blake's Seven', I particularly liked the portrayal of Harry Fairfax and Queen Anne, and the mix of adventure, SF, humor and romance kept me following it to the end.

It's well past time someone made a 'Luther Arkwright' movie, but until then this is probably the closest we'll get. I'm sure that if someone does make a movie they could learn a thing or two about how to adapt the story from the audio version too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic book that everyone should own., 6 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Adventures of Luther Arkwright (Paperback)

Luther Arkwright is probably the best comic book published in the last 15 years - better than even Grant Morrisson's Invisibles, or Garth Ennis' Preacher - a cult classic that deserves fullest attention. One of the most sprawling and complex plots, which at the same time is simple enough to follow, it's hero owes a big debt to Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius. It's wry mix of political satire, sci fi, fantasy, adventure and fart gags make this a magnificent work of art.I can't recommend this enough. 5 Stars, and that's only because Amazon don't let me award 20.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Boggling Brilliance., 28 Dec 2000

By	"mr-sprout" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adventures of Luther Arkwright (Paperback)

I'm not even going to pretend I followed most of what was going on in this book, it needs re-reading when I have time. What I could follow, though, was incredible. Huge battles across countless multiple universes that skip through several time periods, the death of an empire, and the birth of a new. Metaphysical arguments, the evolution of a new species of human. Gore, subtle humour, fart jokes, graphic sex... There's room for it all here, and more. The story is far too complex to go into, but it involves Luther Arkwright, a typical heroic type, who works for a multi-dimensional watchdog sort of thing that keeps a track on all of the other dimensions and keeps it's enemies at bay. Things mount and mount, building tension right the way through to the final battle. Bryan Talbot ranks up there with Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore for bringing intelligence back into comics (and he draws his own scripts), but for some reason doesn't get as much attention... Check out the sequel, 'Heart of Empire', which may or may not be released as a trade paperback soon. If not, pop down to your local comic shop and ask about it, it was nine issues long and ran during 1999. It's a very different tale and doesn't actually feature Luther Arkwright himself, but focuses on his daughter about twenty years after the end of this volume. It's very good. Buy this first though.
