Decent work from Alan Moore

While this certainly isn't the greatest story to ever appear in Britain's 2000AD magazine, writer Alan Moore and artist Jim Baikie do a serviceable job, telling the tale of a peaceful alien crash landing on Earth, and the not-so-peaceful government authorities who want him at any cost. Luckily, our hero "Skizz" has a group of sympathetic Earthlings who just want to help him return home. If this sounds familiar, well, it's basically "ET" set in Birmingham, England, with a bit more serious and practical tone. This is very generic work from Moore, and it shows in comparison to his later masterpieces. Still, SKIZZ is an engaging tale, with excellent characterization, and some genuinely funny moments.

From comics' greatest writer comes an early classic - a tale of alien contact - Alan Moore style!When a spacecraft from Tau Ceti crashlands just outside Birmingham (UK), its sole occupant - Interpreter Zhcchz - is left alone and incapable of escape, in a world he can't begin to comprehend. Terrified, hungry and disorientated, the alien finally finds warmth in a dark shed...But Skizz (as Roxy, the schoolgirl who befriends him calls him) becomes the object of a government search, led by the crazed alien-hunter Van Owen, after the wreckage of his ship is found. With Skizz still desperately trying to adjust to Earth, and only Roxy to protect him, will either of them survive, let alone cope with the strangest days of either of their lives?
