The Complete D.R. & Quinch (The Alan Moore Collection)

Product Information

The technique of showcasing opposites when used in combination with the setup and reversal technique provides numerous jokes in the comic.

R." Dobbs: A Hatchway in the craft opened with this sound which was just like, y'know, the sound of a hatchway opening.It’s fine, short and sweet but nothing that special, and it’s a shame in some ways that Moore didn’t bow out with Go To Hollywood rather than this breezy but unsubstantial effort.

Writing for Time, Douglas Wolk described it as, for the majority of its run, "one of the funniest comics ever" [4] and Neil Gaiman has credited it with being one of the greatest 2000 AD stories. Occasionally, the narration tells us the exact opposite of what we're actually seeing or is a general understatement.R. and Quinch for me, apart from the magnificently wonderful artwork of Alan Davis, was the, seemingly, 1000 different ideas Alan Moore would stuff into each page. It might seem odd that Moore wrote a pretty popular and successful comedic series during the 80s when he was also writing some of most thoughtful and audacious comics of that same decade. Kind of like the reverse of Malcolm McDowell’s Alex in A Clockwork Orange crossedwith Sandy from Grease.
