Alan Moore, master and magician of storytelling, tears back the veil of one
of the most arcane of enchantments - The Magic of Television! Part
grimoire, part grim invocation of things that are all too ordinary, Light of
Thy Countenance - an original and breathtaking story by Alan Moore
- is adapted to graphic novella format by Antony Johnston, preserving
every word, with each page painstakingly painted by Felipe Massafera.
Maureen Cooper is not real. She is an apparition summoned to screens, into
homes, into the hearts and mind of the viewing audience by Carol Livesly. But
Carol Livesly is not the god that creates the illusions that capture the mind
and bind the soul. She is only a servant of a higher power. A higher, hungry
power, as old as the world and eternally new. As, perhaps, are we all.
