[...] Back in the summer Leah Moore and John Reppion chatted with me about their work, most notably Albion, which finally came out in collected graphic novel form just before Christmas (and ended up being a present to myself), which teamed them with Leah’s dad, a certain Mister Alan Moore and artist Shane Oakley (who Lew Stringer praises over on his new blog) for a brilliant modern tale of classic British comics characters; seriously good stuff, mixing classic characters like Robot Archie and Captain Hurricane with modern sensibilities and political events.
