Avatar's Other Plug Of The Week: Neonomicon HC and TPB by Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows

Published Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:30:30 -0500

Alan Moore's Neonomicon by Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows is published by Avatar today for $19.99. Hardcover for $27.99. As well as the series, it also contains the original Courtyard adaptation by Anthoiny Johnston and Jacen Burrows years before Neonomicon was published.

Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax –the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful… but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore's comic book series for the first time in its entirety – including his original graphic novel, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax's tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones! Available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by Jacen Burrows (CROSSED).

Do let us know if any copies have reached the UK, there seems to be some confusion about that…
