Skizz by Alan Moore
A darker, more adult, more English, version of E.T. Fun and I like the art, but nothing Earth-shattering.
This volume reprints Oz, as well as a few other short stories (including an early Democracy storyline). Oz isn't my favourite of the long stories and the long, long race section is a bit tedious by the end.
This edition has some problems. It's a thick volume, so quite a lot gets lost in the gutter, making some dialogue unreadable. At this stage 2000AD was printing Dredd with the first two pages in colour, but these have been printed in greyscale here. Quite a lot of detail gets lost in the process. Subsequent volumes switch to full-colour printing on better quality paper.… (more)

Skizz by Alan Moore
Another classic Alan Moore tale from 2000AD. Skizz is the tale of an alien interpreter, who crashes near the outskirts of Birmingham. He is rescued by a local resident who, along with her friends, vows to protect him from the authorities who seem to be hell-bent on capturing and destroying him.
