On with the show...


It's New York, the year is 4949, the local 
unemployed live in a gigantic, nearly prison 
like sanctuary called the Hoop. 
These jobless people live on state provided 
credit cards and watch brainless holo-soaps 
in the small world of their own, because the 
chances of getting work are practically none.

But Halo Jones is through with this, and she's 
getting away from this stinking rock. 
She's going out, and she's going further than 
anyone before her. at the age of eighteen, 
she leaves earth with her faithful hound
Toby and meets various wonderful and not so 
wonderful people.

This skin started off as another Halo Tribute
but somehow turned into a skin based around
Toby, either way it works and ultimately is
a tribute to the series as a whole.

I first came to the Halo Jones series, back in 
the mid '80s in it's original format in the 
comic book 2000AD, it struck me,even then , 
as something different to the usual big guns and
bigger explosions  type of comics of the day, 
and that something has stuck in my mind even to 
this day. I still read the collected story 
every so often, and still find new things even 
today.

Now nearly 20 years on from it's original 
publication it's still is one of the most 
original, different stories you could ever read,
and still contains possibly the greatest final 
line EVER, I dare not repeat it here, for of 
pre-empting genius.

If you've never read it, run down to your local 
bookstore or dive on Amazon.com and order up 
"The complete Ballad of Halo Jones" today, you 
will not regret it.
