Never really 'got' this comic. I mean it has an interesting core idea but Christ it just goes on and on with little rhyme nor reason and its nauseating art. Killing Joke is much better.

I really like it but I'm a fan of Morrison's stuff in general. I also think the art is fucking gorgeous and enjoy that style. Horses for courses and all that I guess.

>Is it a uniquely British thing that our comic book writers are all occultists?

It does seem that way doesn't it. Although I guess the medium maybe attracts the sorts of people who might have fringe interests anyway? We do seem to produce the best comics writers regardless though.

I enjoy it for it's unusual look at the psyche's of the various Batman characters. It takes the premise of Killing Joke a lot further. Plus Dave McKean's artwork is fantastic. I'd post his magnum opus "Cages" but it's 450-odd pages.

I'm sure Alan Moore talks about how comics are a form of magic spell on a number of occasions. I can see what he means but I'm not sure how that redefinition has any real impact.

This is one of my first comics, oddly enough - they used to have a good comics section at dulwich library.
