Product Description
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!
About the Author
Alan Moore is widely considered to be the greatest comic book writer of all time. With over thirty years dedicated to the medium, his body of work includes Watchmen (the best-selling graphic novel in history), From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Swamp Thing, Tom Strong, Promethea, V for Vendetta, and Lost Girls, just to name a few. Avatar Press has published numerous Moore projects in recent years, including his seminal guide to graphic storytelling, Writing for Comics.
Jacen Burrows is truly one of the rising stars in comic book illustration, who has dedicated his talents to Avatar Press projects exclusively throughout the years. His artwork has brought to life the visions of such comics luminaries as Garth Ennis (Chronicles of Wormwood, Crossed), Warren Ellis (Scars), and Alan Moore (The Courtyard, Neonomicon).

5.0 out of 5 stars
WOW!,

This review is from: Alan Moore's Neonomicon (Hardcover)
I will keep this relatively short. Similar to the fellow reviewer, I had no idea what I was getting into when I grabbed this book. Alan Moore as the writer was enough for me, but when I opened the book and began reading, the story unravels into one of the BEST books I have read. To say the artwork is stunning, is something of an understatement. This is a must have for any fan of H.P. Lovecraft and murder/horror/gothic literature. Read it...and enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have!,
This review is from: Alan Moore's Neonomicon (Hardcover)
I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought this book and I was definitely not disappointed. This book has a great story to it and the art work is phenomenal. It is certainly not for children! This book has a lot of graphic sex scenes in it and quite a bit of ruthless horror. At points when a certain character talks they really get you into the way that he would be talking by the way it is written, so cool. Alan Moore is a legend and this is a great book by him so grab it while you can. The hardcover is a decent price as well and it is worth getting. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did.

Deviant sex, violence, and Cthulu.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alan Moore's Neonomicon (Paperback)
Allan Moore is one sick puppy. I'm sort of kidding. Seriously, this tale of Cthulu from Moore is fantastic. Great artwork brings this disturbing tale to life in vivid colour. The story is replete with Cthulu cultists performing ritual killings and participating in deviant sexual practices. I was simultaneously titilated and repulsed. Quite disturbing but fascinating material. I would have given it 5 stars, but was too disturbed.
