Alan Moore Light Of Thy Countenance Hardcover

This is a bit of a meditation on TV by Alan Moore, perhaps it goes on a little longer than is really necessary to make its point, its not linear in the sense of really having a beginning, middle and end or conclusion to the tale (unlike, for instance  Alan Moore's The Courtyard (Color Edition) ) but it is interesting.The artwork and visuals are interesting, a little thought provoking, like the essential point, which I felt was that TV had been deified (although there it is implied, cosmic horror and cthulu/lovecraft styling that it is an emination/imprint of another entity).It did make me think about my "screen time" but its not really, or rather, not totally, polemic it is entertainment and the narrative in the captions is unmistakeably Alan Moore. He's got the whole Lovecraft, weird fiction, mystic-magic thing going on and his prose is totally steeped in it.Some nice content about relationships between people and fictional characters, personal histories and Televisual plots and how TV effects your judgement or competence to evaluate things by yourself. Recommended but not as good as The Courtyard. Alan Moore's The Courtyard (Color Edition)

I hate television programming. I really dislike how TV has invaded our homes and worked against the family structure. Alan obviously has an eyes-wide-open view of how TV has been able to spin our worlds and mutiliate human experiences. I wasn't sure what to expect with this book when I bought it, but I find it really enjoyable. I do not care for the actual artwork as much as the story that is told.

Very well written, but do bring a dictionary to any reading of this short yet very challenging work by the legendary Alan Moore.

I did not do my research and mistakenly expected this to be a larger volume.
