The Originals
(DC, 2004)
™ and © 2004 Dave Gibbons
This ashcan issue previews the 2004 hardcover graphic novel from writer/artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen). The Originals reflects Gibbons’ youth as a Mod in 1960’s London, as well as the youth cult’s philosophy of “exclusivity and antagonism” that manifested itself in stylish haircuts, fine Italian clothes, and sleek motorbikes. However, Gibbons insists that this graphic novel is not autobiographical, nor is it an actual representation of the London of his era. Sure, it feels like London, but the subtle science fiction trappings pull it into its own place. Still, the hate between the Originals and the Dirt is palpable enough, recalling the conflicts between the Mods and the Grease that Gibbons mentions in his exquisitely written essay. This ashcan includes the first thirteen pages of the hardcover graphic novel.
