Written by Dave Gibbons Art and cover by Gibbons Don’t miss this softcover edition of the acclaimed original hardcover graphic novel by one of comics' most esteemed names, Dave Gibbons (co-creator and artist of WATCHMEN and Give Me Liberty, writer of THE RANN/THANAGAR WAR). Lel and Bok ― two best friends ― want nothing more than to join the Originals, the top gang on the streets. Through them, they'll meet the high-speed world of hover scooters, all-night clubs, and, for Lel, the girl of his dreams in particular. But with the fast life comes tough foes, and tribal loyalty will teach them the unforgettable meaning of unforgivable loss. Neither a science-fiction story nor set in a mundane reality, THE ORIGINALS takes place in a world both familiar and strange, where the young are angry, loyal and stylish. And the only thing more important than who your friends are is who your friends hate.

The Originals is as smart as a fashion-forward suit [and] has the powerful tug of a timeless fable. B+ --Entertainment Weekly, November 8 2004

"I discovered Mod when I was about 15 and have a vivid memory of seeing my first scooters. They were fantastic, almost science-fiction machines, gleaming with chrome and accessories. They rolled up one night at my local dance-hall, the riders dismounting and undoing their military-surplus parkas to reveal smart shirts and jackets.
The opening scene of THE ORIGINALS tries to capture some of that feeling. I merged it with another real incident where I helped a bunch of scooter boys to find the local motorcycle gang and give them a good beating.
That’s pretty representative of much of the book: I’ve gone for the feeling of incidents rather than the actuality. In many ways, it’s a truer approach."
