Night Raven is one of the best, almost completely unknown, Moore works that I can think of. I'm amazed at the number of people who haven't read it or turn up their noses at it ("Well, they're text-only stories, not comics.").I guess it's not that surprising considering they've never been reprinted until just recently. England has different copyright laws, so nothing Moore wrote for Marvel UK could be reprinted without his permission, which he refused to do out of his hatred for Marvel. Alan Davi...
I loved pulp fiction before I even knew that's what it was. I was between 10 and 14 when these stories were originally printed and I immediately fell in love with the character of Night Raven- a masked vigilante, at first prowling the streets of Prohibition Era New York, then much, much later an old man still wearing the mask in the 1980s. I had no idea these were pastiches of a genre I would grow to love as an adult (just as I had no idea who Robert E Howard was, really, despite buying Marvel U...
It came from the Marvel UK vaults. It should have stayed there.
Not a graphic Novel - I came to this with very clear memories of Night Raven, and indeed had spent some time attempting to collect the missing stories in my collection. So to have this collection published at last was a great find. The book comes in three distinct parts.Part 1 - The first 60 pages are comic strips taken from the HULK comic from the late 70's. I clearly remember and have fond memories of these strips although they are scant on character depth and plot but given that they were ori...
One of those where the stars are an average because different parts get different ratings.Three stars for the early strips portraying Night Raven as a Shadow-type vigilante in 1930s NYC (despite which his name is English rooted, coming from a poem by Milton). Two stars when it turns into text pages instead of comics. Five for Alan Moore's text pages. Maybe a half star for Jamie Delano doing a bad Alan Moore imitation.
I found it difficult to get through this book. Alan Moore’s contributions were amazingly enthralling and felt as if he used Night Raven as a precursor to his work with Rorschach on Watchmen. The rest though felt somewhat uneven. The original strips are reminiscent of the early Marvel Man comics mixed with the artistic style of what we would see in black and white V for Vendetta comics. This is to say, these strips are brief and are fairly surface level, but look gritty in a way that has some app...
this is the kind of comic that i would erase my memories & read this again from the start
