The Adventures Of Luther Arkwright
The Adventures Of Luther Arkwright
by Bryan Talbot is probably one of the most thought-provoking graphic novels you’ll ever read if you’re into hard science fiction. Combining telepathic and psychokinetic powers with time/space continuum-hopping, we follow the… Adventures Of Luther Arkwright as he seeks to prevent the Disruptors from unleashing a doomsday weapon.
While the sequel, Heart Of Empire, is probably a better “story” as a whole (not to mention it’s in color), Luther Arkwright is definitely one you will read many times over just to catch every nuance Talbot has inserted into the page.
Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen, has even acknowledged that Talbot is a big influence of his, and with Michael Moorcock doing the forward, you know it has to be good stuff.

AND if your name is Moorcock (or Moarcock, or hell lets face it MORE COCK) you must be awesome.
It’s interesting you say that, because I was thinking about adding “The War Hound and the World’s Pain” for October.
