Supreme: Story of the Year - Alan Moore ... Supreme began life as an exceptionally violent Superman rip-off. Moore took over in 1996, jettisoning everything except Supreme's blond, muscular good looks and turning a copycat into an ingenious homage to the Superman archetype. This clever work retells the history of superhero comic books as reflected through Moore's retro drawings and superheroes modeled on characters and narrative styles from the 1930s to today. Suffering from amnesia, Supreme has returned to Earth, but must also return to his roots - his smalltown family, allies and bombastic enemies - to discover his origins. In his everyday identity, he's a mild-mannered comic book artist who draws a line of violent superheroes. As Supreme investigates his past, readers are treated to a delightful series of tongue-in-cheek flashbacks to revised versions of the Golden and Silver eras of comics.

Crowned Review Overture (1475 words)

Rating:

for that focus on everyday life rather than adventure. I’ll get back to you on that in a couple of weeks. As with all my favourite work from Alan Moore, the depressing situation of the slums for the unemployed is balanced out by a large smattering of ironic humour, leading to an alternative, propagandised description of the Hoop as a haven for ‘increased leisure citizens,’ whose generously provided habitat seems to double up as a convenient collector of tidal energy that’s not so convenient for the Hoop dwellers themselves. Moore uses the futuristic setting to comment on present-day concerns like all good sci-fi, with plenty of digs at unreasonable concerns over ...
