| Abstract |
|
Are comics just kids stuff, or are they a window onto our troubled times? In this book, John Newsinger examines 2000AD and the Judge Dredd strip and asks why it is that the most popular comic strip character in Britain is an authoritarian neo-fascist. He goes on to look at the writers 2000AD has nurtured: Alan Moore, Peter Milligan, Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis and others, and at their impact in America. Comics like Hellblazer, The Preacher, From Hell and The Invisibles are at the cutting edge, he argues. They shine light in dark places.
