Complete D.R. and Quinch (2000 Ad) [Paperback]

Jamie Delano (Author)

Book Description

Series: 2000 Ad | Publication Date: February 2, 2006

From the subterrean depths of comics' most innovative mind comes a supremely deranged duo. Alan Moore (Watchmen, Promethea) and Alan Davis (Captain Britain, X-Men) are proud (and should be ashamed) to present D.R. & Quinch. Outrageous, unrestrained and heavily armed, college students D.R. & Quinch gleefully provide irredeemably poor role-modelling for today's youth. Comes complete with tips on death, extremely painful death and the art of total destruction. Wildly offensive tales of alien slime wars, deranged disaster movies, psychotic girlfriends and warped war veterans make for a volatile mix of malicious mayhem and deeply dark humour. Totally intense, manl

This review is from: The Complete D. R. & Quinch: 2000 Ad Presents (D.R. and Quinch) (Paperback)

D. R. and Quinch originally appeared in a British comic book/magazine called "2000 AD". (The same publication that spawned "Judge Dredd", among others.) It was written by Alan Moore, one of the better comic book writers of all time. (He is known for such comics as "From Hell" and "League of Extrordinary Gentlemen" (both made into films), as well as "The Watchmen", making "Swamp Thing" into an interesting comic, among others.

This is one of his lesser known works.

D. R. and Quinch are a couple of alien juvenile delinquents that make anyone out of the "Wild Bunch" look like Prozac munching vegitarians. They maim and kill entire civilizations just for the fun of it. However, the destruction is so over the top and the targets of satire so broad that it is not just mayhem for the sake of mayhem.

Alan Davis' art adds to the atmosphere. His aliens are all bizzare creatures that have traits that you will still recognize. (There is a pretty savage parody of Marlin Brando in one of the stories.)

Highly recommended. I am glad these stories are still in print.

Good for Alan Moore fans. A humourous stroll through the minds of two psychopaths who reject the sanctioned madness otherwise known as society. Moore always adds an interesting twist to the mundane realities that surround us. I wish it could have been longer but it collects all his work with these two characters. Good quality print but I somehow felt it was too short and thus a tad overpriced.

This review is from: The Complete D.R. and Quinch (Paperback)

Alan Moore (Watchmen) and Alan Davis (Excalibur) are true masters of comics, genius creators whose work is a cut above everyone else's. This book reprints a humor strip they did for the UK's 2000 AD comic in the early 80s.

D.R. and Quinch at two intergalactic hoodlums who start their careers by destroying the Earth in a practical joke. They go on to join the army, take over Hollywood and go girl crazy.

I got a chuckle out of the book but not much more, it's a fun little read but not all that memorable.
