The ultimate edition of Alan Moore and Ian Gibson's feminist space opera!
Halo Jones is bored. Trapped in The Hoop,a futuristic world where jobs are scarce and excitement non-existent,Halo sets out to see the galaxy any way she can and to rewrite her destiny. From drudge work on a glamorous cruise liner,to serving in a brutal war zone,Halo experiences love and loss and she grows up into the woman who will change the course of the galaxy's history.
Radical and revolutionary,Rebellion is proud to present Alan Moore and Ian Gibson's ground-breaking feminist space opera and science fiction classic in a full colour omnibus for the first time.
A cultural icon and a high mark for British science fiction,this timeless tale of one woman's endurance amidst a sea of dead-end and deadly jobs remains one of Alan Moore's most beloved sagas. Restored and lovingly coloured by Barbara Nosenzo,and featuring a new introduction and bonus content,The Ballad of Halo Jones remains essential reading.
