Recensioner i media

Ayres' comprehensive study explores Moore in all his contradictions: a superstar who was exploited by the system; a champion of minority representation who has been criticised for his use of stereotypes; the man who made graphic novels 'grim and gritty' yet embraced gentle comedy alongside dark realism. This critical examination is perfect for those discovering Moore, but long-term fans will also find new angles and insights, encouraging them to revisit the work of this towering, complex figure.
