A DISEASE OF LANGUAGE - Hardcover

Alan Moore is the best known comic book writer, author of From Hell, Watchmen, V for Vendetta and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Eddie Campbell is the creator of Bacchus, The Fate of the Artist and has won multiple awards for his autobiographical Alec stories.Moore resides in the UK and Campbell in Australia.

The Birth Caul is probably the most affecting thing Alan's yet written. It fulfills the promise of his novel, Voice of the Fire, and of Big Numbers and the best bits of From Hell. This is Alan Moore's summoning his powers and finally delivering a pure burst of the way he sees things, divorced from genre and postmodern game
play and any of those other touchstones by which we habitually identify Alan Moore's work. --Warren Ellis

Moore is speaking in tongues here -- as a student of art, history, literature, modern theoretical science; as a post-grad in mysticism; as a day laborer up to his armpits in the world's treasures and detritus; as enthralled paramour -- but first and foremost, this is an intoxicated poet's monologue. --Rich Kreiner, Comics Journal

Probably because it is not necessary for him to tell the story (Moore's words do that more than adequately), [Eddie Campbell] has let rip with the art, diving off in all directions and puching back conventions with every other page. And being Eddie Campbell, he pulls this off wonderfully. --Pete Ashton, bugpowder.com
