This preview and sketch book, published by the comic periodical, Wizard, and written by Alan Moore, uses a framing device in which Tommy Turbo, a character from Tom Strong, takes the reader on a “tour” of America’s Best Comics’ offices. The tour introduces the reader to characters and creators as though the process of comic creation was similar to movie production, with the characters as actors and the creators as set designers and directors. Moore indulges in a little self-aggrandizement satire in which subservient acolytes attempt to contact the exalted writer through a Ouija Board because he has gone beyond this dreary material plane.
