1963 #2

"I'd been working outside super-heroes for a long time. When I returned to them I felt that I'd probably prefer that super-heroes have all of the energy that I remember from the comics of my youth; sort of less of that misery that Watchmen, in part, had brought to them. So yeah, that was probably part of the decision to have some fun with an older style of comics in 1963."

This is some groovy stuff, man. Like, far out. This Moore cat, he could go far in comics if he simply applied himself.

I'm liking this Reconstruction thing he's doing here. I wouldn't mind seeing him do more of it.

This isn't a purple monstrosity killing an entire universe of superbeings for 24 pages, but it's still good.

His name is Richard and he's fighting the Voidoid? More like 1977, amirite?

I love how The Fury's costume looks like a gaping, sharp-toothed maw if you look at it just right.

Fun factoid: "Nobody Escapes The Fury" was the tagline for the character/creature co-created with Alan Davis in their Captain Britain run back in the day for Marvel UK. Due to the way copyright worked with Marvel UK back then, Moore still owns part of the Fury's copyright.
