Alan Moore is about the greatest graphic novel writer ever. Before him, I think they were just called comics. Therefore, I was interested to start reading a novel I'd seen he had written called The Great When. It had a sort of prologue, which was so crummy I thought I would only give it one more chapter's chance. However, the official first chapter is not too bad. I will have to see how it goes. The blurb on the back made it sound a bit like a book by China Mieville called The City & The City.
