British Update: The Ballad of Halo Jones – Volume 2
*Collected Editions: Continuing the acclaimed series from 2000 AD by Alan Moore and Ian Gibson, this volume details our peripatetic heroine’s outward exploration of the galaxy, working her way from planet to planet in the most un-glamorous of jobs – and, along the way, experiencing painful betrayals from two of her best friends! Originally conceived as a lead for a girls’ SF weekly, ‘Halo Jones’ was the only series far enough along to be salvaged when the project was cancelled, and she was the first solo heroine (Judge Anderson really being a gender-flipped Judge Dredd spin-off) to successfully break into the ‘Boys’ Club’ of 2000 AD. Pick this newly-recoloured tome up, and find out why! Brand new at £10.
