Alan Moore’s “Wild Worlds” – A first look

I am currently reading a compilation of Alan Moore’s work at Wildstorm Comics, with characters like Spawn and WildC.A.T.S. (sic?).  Not much to say yet about the writing, which could still go either way, but I will say beyond a doubt that this is the worst-illustrated set of comics I’ve yet set eyes on.  It literally, and I actually mean literally, made me nauseated to look at.  The women have breasts that seem to depend from their collarbone areas.  Their waists appear to be about six inches in diameter.  The men’s muscles have overwhelmed their bodies to the point where they seem to have giant striated worms writhing beneath their skin.  And not only does everyone look alike, all their eyes are about four inches apart.

I like Alan Moore’s writing as much as you do, but this is the first time I’ve ever had to struggle through the art to read it.
