Meet Halo Jones. She wasn't anyone special. She wasn't brave, or clever, or strong. She was just somebody who had to get out. Escaping the Hoop, Manhattan Island's land of mindless leisure, is just the first step in a cosmic adventure that takes Halo to the far ends of the galaxy, through war and peace, trial, despair and triumph. But as she said: "Anybody could have done it."

"Possibly the first feminist heroine in comics" wrote the Observer of Alan Moore's epic tale of one woman's search for her place in a galaxy out of control. Beautifully illustrated by Ian Gibson, this is the ultimate sci-fi opus. Don't dare miss it!
