Recenzii
Ayres' comprehensive study explores Moore in all his contradictions: a superstar who was exploited by the system; a champion of minority representation who has been criticised for his use of stereotypes; the man who made graphic novels 'grim and gritty' yet embraced gentle comedy alongside dark realism. This critical examination is perfect for those discovering Moore, but long-term fans will also find new angles and insights, encouraging them to revisit the work of this towering, complex figure.
In Alan Moore: A Critical Guide, Jackson Ayres takes on the daunting task of covering Alan Moore's career historically, chronologically, formally, thematically and ideologically. He does so with impressive thoroughness, sensitivity and panache. Ayres reminds us of why Alan Moore is so important to the history of comics in the first place, while also productively and impressively examining recent challenges to his canonical status. This book is a great place to start for Moore fans, but also for those who are more skeptical about his work's value and relevance. Ayres leaves very few stones unturned in the quest to grapple with Moore, his legacy, and the development of the comics medium and industry over the past 40 years.
