A Disease of Language

This 2005 graphic novel from Knockabout collects two collaborations between writer Alan Moore and artist Eddie Campbell: "The Birth Caul" and "Snakes and Ladders." Presented as a single, dense volume, it adapts Moore's performance pieces into comic form, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the occult. The work is a key example of Moore's experimental, literary approach to the medium, with Campbell's expressive linework grounding its abstract, poetic narrative.
