Jacen Burrows

    Tento umelec je známy svojou prácou na komiksoch, najmä svojimi spoluprácami s uznávanými autormi. Jeho tvorba sa často ponára do sveta okultného hororu a skúma temné zákutia predstavivosti. Práca na sérii inšpirovanej dielom H.P. Lovecrafta ukazuje jeho schopnosť vytvárať atmosférické a znepokojujúce príbehy. Jeho umelecký štýl oživuje tieto mýtické svety s jedinečnou víziou.

      Jeden z největších komiksových opusů velmistra komiksového média Alana Moora vychází v jediném svazku. Vnitroblok, Neonomicon i Providence se tak dostávají českému čtenáři v opulentní knize, která je povinností pro všechny fanoušky kultovního autora. Sága vrhá světlo na dodnes neprozkoumané hrůzyplné aspekty děl H. P. Lovecrafta. Opulentní hororový komiks je proto právem oslavován jako jedna z nejobsáhlejších knih věnujících se znepokojujícím motivům Lovecraftova díla. Epos představuje události předcházející napsání nejslavnějších povídek z mytologie HPL. Zároveň ukazuje důsledky jejich stvoření pro naši realitu a sny. Moore nenechal nic náhodě a podílel se na všech fázích výroby – od příběhu přes kresbu a lettering až po samotné vydání. Výsledkem je mistrovské dílo posouvající hranice žánru, které umožňuje znovu si prožít všechny příběhy klasického kánonu v nových, překvapujících souvislostech.

      Alan Moore, the best-selling graphic novelist of all time, delivers an original, chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror! Comic book legend Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, FROM HELL) and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror! Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax –the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful… but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore’s 2010 comic book series for the first time in its entirety – including his original story, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax’s tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones!

      Ohne Vorwarnung geht die menschliche Zivilisation über Nacht vor die Hunde. Wer die Apokalypse heil übersteht, gehört jedoch nicht zwangsläufig zu den Glücklichen. Denn es haben auch genügend Psychopathen und Sadisten überlebt, die schon immer das Böse im Menschen verkörperten. Und dann sind da ja noch die grausamen Gefirmten, die sich durch eine mysteriöse Infektion in perverse, dauergeile und mordlüsterne Barbaren ohne Hemmungen verwandelt haben. Wer durch diese hoffnungslose neue Welt wandert, wird also eher früher den später auf irgendein brutales Monster treffen – oder irgendwann zwangsläufig selbst zu jemandem, der unaussprechliche Dinge tut, um den nächsten Tag zu erleben…
