Product Description

Review

"Top 10's density of ideas confirms Moore's preeminence in comic-book writing." - The Guardian"

Product Description

From the awesome imagination of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" creator, Alan Moore, comes Jeff Smax, blue-skinned hero cop with a poetry-spouting sword! Returning to visit his aunt on his backwater home dimension of Parallel Earth 37, Smax is threatened with death by boredom at his uncle's interminable funeral, must avoid marrying his sister and must unravel the mysteries of his dragon-slaying past which just happens to contain an encrypted warning to his cop partner, Robyn! All that, and he has to avoid being mugged by bunnies too! Featuring gorgeous artwork by an Alan Moore favourite, Zander Cannon, this is a fairy tale grimmer than "The Grimms'". Warning: Not for young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last Exit To Narnia . . ., 6 Jan 2005

By	"paul-o-connor" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Smax (Hardcover)

Spun off from 'cops-in-capes' series,'Top 10', 'Smax' takes our eponymous hero back to his sword'n'sorcery roots.

Get ready for a Moore-wellian take on all things Grimm and Tolkienian in Parallel 137 - pixie-slums, 'Disenchantment', 'Great-Hearted Folk', why you really can't trust elves, and the effects of inflation on the value of the Golden Egg.
The story of Jeff's attempts to come to terms with the past he ran away from and Robyn's experience of 'real' fairytale life, contain passages of Moore at both his funniest and most poignant. As usual with a Moore script, even the most seemingly trivial, throwaway lines, seem to reference an astonishing breadth of (in this case, fantasy and faerie) sources. The plot zings along, too, revealing more than you could expect to discover.
Topped off with a Happy-Ever-After ending that would have the Rev. Jerry Falwell spitting bile, 'Smax' is yet another brilliant addition to Moore's current crop of ABC titles.

Cannon and Currie pencil and ink a prefect dayglo a-go-go world - prepare to go slightly insane trying to identify the references to every single fantasy character, ever - and I'm not kidding!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, 21 April 2008

By	D. L. Wilkinson "Dean" (London,UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been away from comics/graphic novels for quite a while.Apart from Batman:Killing Joke and Steampunk I haven't really paid much attention to the form since late eighties Love and Rockets and Watchmen.
Recently just browsing around a fine comic shop (Dave's I think)in Brighton I found this.I'd not heard of it before but Alan Moore's name drew me in and the art was nice.
Happily it's great.I love the grim fairy tale style with a modern edge and the characters are equally as appealing and brilliantly drawn.Some very adult themes mingle with the old tales of childhood.
Along with some other GN's,like Matabarons and Batman:Under the Hood that I got recently my interest has been fully revitalised.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, 30 Mar 2006

By	"duncang21" - See all my reviews

This is an 'origins' story from the wonderful world of 'top ten' the artwork is so so, not aweful, but not up to the standard of the other top ten stuff. But the story line is hilarious, as jeff smax has to reluctantly reveal his wierd past to toy box, his cop/partner whom he convices to come to his homeworld with him. A lot of D&D, lord of the rings [mick] takeing (it's a sword and sorcery world)
