THE BALLAD OF HALO JONES
Written by Alan Moore
Art by Ian Gibson
Another highly regarded classic for the weekly. Moore's scripts are exceptional, and his entire portrait of a future world very detailed. It's this attention to continuity that makes all of his work so very readable. Ian Gibson's artwork helps too, with Book III probably the best thing he's ever done.
