The Complete D.R. & Quinch (The Alan Moore Collection)

Product Information

In any event, as a long term reader of 2000AD comic (I started with issue 1 in 1977) one of my early introductions to Moore's work was this lesser known series of somewhat madcap and subversive humour.

I suspect, however, that's less to blame for my dislike of the collection than that this is 2000 AD fodder, and really just the sort of thing bookish British males seem unable to live without.When I asked what they might have that was local and interesting and hard to find in the States, they were stumped at first. R. or Quinch may try to portray their actions as being far more well-intentioned and sincere, even though they never really are. R.' Dobbs and Ernest Errol Quinch are the chaotic, planet-trashing duo – meanwhile, Intepreter Zhcchz of the Tau-Ceti Imperium has crashlanded on Earth, and must rely on his human friends to help him get home. Moore apparently disowns this one as having lacked any redeeming social values, which is a shame, and I know at least one person who regards it as the only decent thing the man ever wrote. In fact, my only real complaint, apart from the fact that there's far too little of it, is that I'd have liked to see a bit more of D.

An artist who’s slick, clean lines could effortlessly capture the frantic pace and detailed descriptions of a Moore script. Things seem to be going well until they get to basic training and have to suffer under a nasty drill sergeant right out of Full Metal Jacket.That’s not to say that his writing is better or worse by definition (though it is often better), only that his career has been repeatedly marked with literary ambition and the skills to back that up. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. As something so obviously different when compared to the rest of Moore’s body of work, this series deserves mention. After the judge gives the boys a month to perform honest and charitable work so that their sentence might be shortened they head off to recruit their friend Pulger who’s a war veteran even more murderous than they are. You think he's going to totally fall for the girl and it's going to turn into some lame-o love triangle where he falls in love with her and D.
