A review by cubhyde
The Adventures of Luther Arkwright by Bryan Talbot

4.5

Excellent. Very reminiscent of V for Vendetta and Moore’s Swamp Thing in it’s formal experimentation and dense gonzo science fiction (although also in its unfortunate interest in sexual perversion and mushy grab bag Golden Bough mysticism). Clearly an underacknowledged  influence on and classic of British comics. Talbot uses the multiverse concept to better ends than anyone has seemed to have done recently- tangling itself in  oversignifying images of British identity and asking if there is any intrinsic meaning to them.
