The Filth by Grant Morrison
From the twisted imaginations of Grant Morrison (New X-Men) and Chris Weston (The Invisibles) comes sci-fi weirdness of the deepest level. Officer Edward Slade has retired in the guise of sad pervert Greg Feely. However, he is suddenly pressed back into service with ethereal police force The Filth, when a rogue officer threatens Earth with contamination by a nanobiotic life form. As he's suffering from amnesia, this is all a bit of a shock to Greg, especially when his back-up is a talking Communist sniper chimp. This fabulous new collection encapsulates the superb talents of two amazing creators into one of the most original graphic novels in many a moon! Warning: Adults only!
Leeds Guide, 8 September 2004: The art is pretty spectacular, but it's the dialogue that really sparkles..Morrison has created a kaleidoscopic world in which nothing is as it seems. Go! 1st October 2004, : Quite simply unique, and it's not often you can say that about any work of fiction these days.; Lincolnshire Echo 1 February 2005: ..tortuous but oddly compelling...
