Je dobojováno. Bažináč se vrací z Pekla a chce jen spočinout v Abbyině náruči. Právě to mu je ale odepřeno – v jeho nepřítomnosti fotograf Howard Fleck zveřejnil fotografie Bažináče a Abby a vyvolal tím skandál. Abby byla obviněna ze zoofilie a nakonec utekla do Gothamu. A právě tam se za ní Bažináč vydá, vstříc konfliktu s Batmanem, Lexem Luthoren i gothamskou policií… Tato klasická sága od legendárního tvůrčího týmu v čele s Alanem Moorem, Stephenem Bissettem, Johnem Totlebenem, Stanem Wochem, Rickem Veitchem, Ronem Randallem a Alfredem Alcalou líčí přerod Bažináče z netvora z bažiny v mocného elementála, jehož moc by mohla přesáhnout samotnou Zemi.

Některé komiksy fungují v žánru jako milník – a Sága o Bažináčovi je jedním z nich. Alan Moore si vzal staré a zapomenuté postavičky a vdechl jim nový život. A co víc, povedlo se mu vzkřísit hororový komiks, proti vůli cenzorů z CCA, pro něž byla kombinace nahoty, rozkládajících se zombií, incestu a nekrofilie příliš. Alec Holland uhořel, jeho duše však žije dál. Příběhy zeleného monstra se z akčních dobrodružství proměnily v atmosférické a ponuré horory, v „Sandmana z bažin“. Po zemi kráčí ďábel, dává lidem rady do života a na pomoc si z pekla povolal řadu mrtvých. A zlu se může postavit jedině bytost, která možná kdysi byla člověkem. Americký jih nikdy nebyl nejdokonalejším místem pro život – teď se však stává dokonalým místem pro smrt…

In "Not Even Legend," a paranormal study group is infiltrated by one of the otherworldly beings they seek to investigate. In "Illuminations," a nostalgic older man decides to visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too close at hand. And in the monumental novella "What We Can Know About Thunderman," which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque history of the comics industry's major players over the last seventy-five years, Moore reveals the dark, beating heart of the superhero business.From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to theoretical Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the big bang, Illuminations is exactly that--a series of bright, startling tales from a contemporary legend that reveal the full power of imagination and magic.

Jeden z nejslavnějších týmů zmizel ve vesmíru a je třeba okamžitě sehnat náhradu. Jakýmkoliv způsobem – lhaním, vydíráním či vymývání mozku. Takový superhrdinský tým nebude zřejmě normální, a tak se v něm potkávají nájemní zabijáci, manipulátoři a psychopati. Zatímco na druhém konci galaxie se původní členové týmu potýkají se svým vlastním peklem. Moorovy WildC.A.T.s je inteligentní a zábavný mainstream, který si hraje se žánrem, překvapuje zvraty a narušuje oblíbená klišé. Tento příběh nabízí akční zábavu plnou hlášek, bizarních nápadů a výrazných postav, ale také se dotýká témat deziluze, demontáže mýtů, politické satiry a antiutopie. Alan Moore nikdy nepřistupuje k jednoduchým zápletkám; WildC.A.T.s lze vnímat jako monumentální superhrdinskou řežbu, cynickou komedii, drama nebo politický román. Na sérii se podílela řada slavných jmen, v čele s perfekcionistou Travisem Charestem, jehož jemná a precizní kresba je náročná na čas. Charest se střídal s dalšími umělci, jako jsou Kevin Maguire a Kevin Nowlan, kteří spolupracovali s Moorem i na dalších projektech. Další legendy, včetně Jima Leeho, přispěly do galerie.

AN ANTHOLOGY of inter-conected stories by Stephen R. Bissette, Mark Morris, Christopher Golden, Tim Lebbon, Stephen Volk.“I think it’s true to say,” says horror wunderkind Stephen Volk, “that many of us horror writers of a certain generation have treasured memories of Hammer Films, Amicus Productions and their ilk. In fact, their output of genre classics is so important that some of us have secretly longed for a way to relive and recapture the excitement we had when we first experienced them."That was my exact impulse when I first talked to Mark Morris about a book proposal entitled The Blythewood Horror Film Omnibus—an unashamed homage to John Burke’s Hammer Horror Film Omnibus, a fat paperback that came out in the sixties, comprising four novellas based on upcoming horror films. The difference being that our “Blythewood” would be a studio that never existed. Our four films would be movies that we’d invent from scratch. Movies we wished we could have seen as feature films when we were growing up. And now we can – in book form – thanks to PS."CONTENTS* Prologue (by Stephen R.

Alan Moore's highly-influential classic of British comics, presented to a new generation coloured and remastered for the very first time.

Best of 2000 AD is the milestone new quarterly graphic novel series, bursting with stories hand-curated for a whole new generation of readers who may never have picked up 2000 AD in its traditional format.

In a story full of lust, madness, and ecstasy, we meet twelve distinctive characters that lived in the same region of central England over a span of six thousand years. Each interconnected tale traces a path in a journey of discovery of the secrets of the land. In the tradition of Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, Schwob's Imaginary Lives and Borges' A Universal History of Infamy, Moore travels through history blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing. This edition presents Voice of the Fire for the first time in hardcover format, with full color illustrations by Jose Villarrubia.

Edited by Alan Moore. After the appreciative reception afforded to its premier edition, lauded throughout the gutters of the world, the second issue of Alan Moore's mystifying new underground publication DODGEM LOGIC is now available.

And much much more!And extending the ingratiating policy of quaintly and nostalgically including a free gift with every issue, and replacing the astonishing free CD of our debut, DODGEM LOGIC's unkempt figurehead and founder also contributes a questionable eight-page mini-comic, Astounding Weird Penises, being the only solo comic book that he has managed to create in his otherwise lazy thirty year career.Published by Mad Love/Knockabout (and available from Top Shelf as well). -- 52-page magazine with mini-comic, 8" x 11.5"
