The Ballad Of Halo Jones

Comic legend Alan Moore's highly-influential classic of British comics, presented to a new generation coloured and remastered for the very first time. "Where did she go? Out. What did she do? Everything..." Bored and frustrated with her life in 50th-century leisure-ghetto housing estate `The Hoop', 18-year-old everywoman Halo Jones yearns for the infinite sights and sounds of the universe. Pledging to escape on a fantastic voyage, she sets in motion events unimaginable; a spell on a luxury space-liner, a brush with an interstellar war - Halo Jones faces hardship and adventure in the name of freedom in the limitless cosmos. A galaxy-spanning story, comics' first bona fide feminist space opera, and the first true epic to grace the bibliography of arguably the greatest comic book writer the world has ever known. * The first in a brand-new prestige format series collecting the utterly compelling and groundbreakingly ambitious classic. * Written by Alan Moore (Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke) and illustrated by Ian Gibson (Robo-Hunter, Mister Miracle) This edition contains expertly re-mastered artwork, coloured for the very first time by Barbara Nosenzo. * To be supported by extensive marketing campaign with a focus on US.
