So obviously this is Alan Moore, and even in this work of "youth" (Lloyd and he began in 82-83), we feel writing a very large. The characters are searched and credible, always just dialogues, and writing quality is undeniable. The drawing of David Lloyd, although he accuses a little getting old, remains admirable, perfectly illustrating this very romantic struggle between man and system. Yet it is not my favorite comics Moore: the secondary characters are so numerous that sometimes loses some yarn, the apology of anarchism is too heavy, too "teenager", and the story is too conventional for my taste. But hey, that these minor points certainly do not stop you, it is anyway a very healthy reading :)
