| Master of Reality by T. Faraci (story) and P. Frisenda (art) |
Some contributors played with Moore-related characters and concepts but others had Moore himself as "special guest" of their story. The last one is the case of
Master of reality (with an obvious reference to the
Black Sabbath's album too), the 2page story shown here, created by acclaimed Italian artists
Tito Faraci (writer) and
Pasquale Frisenda (art).
It's a silent story full of "Easter eggs" in each panel. For example in the opening one you can see a lot of characters from the
ABC line such as
Promethea and some
LXG members (on the left),
Tom Strong (on the center) and
Top 10's Toybox and Smax. Have fun trying to find them all! :)
The story can be read at page 100 of the sold-out volume and it appears
here on AMW with the artists' permission. Again, many thanks to Mr.
Faraci &
Frisenda for their great contribution to the
Alan Moore: Portrait.
