This one gets three strong stars. Moore's work for 2000 AD is in the EC Comics tradition, so expect plenty of corny ironies and pun-based plots. That said, even at his fastest and least detailed, Moore is a very smart writer. At the age of ten, I would've adored this collection. (

Early Alan Moore. The Future Shocks themselves are of mixed quality with a few standouts, but I found the real gems to be in the Time Twisters also included in the collection. The use of time as a plot device has seldom been used to better effect. (

While a classic, has weathered the decades quite well. (

A great collection of Alan Moore's early work for 200AD. Mostly very short and sharp stories from the Future Shock thread. Normally with a sting in the tail. Also includes Time Twisters and Abelard Snazz which is mental fun. (
