	The Adventures of Luther Arkwright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Luther Arkwright is a work of apocalyptic science fiction set in parallel universes.
		Luther and Rose are agents of a parallel known as "zero-zero", whose stable position in the multiverse has allowed the development of a world at peace with itself and sufficiently high technology to monitor the parallels for signs of the malign influence of the "Disruptors".
		The storytelling of the early episodes is complex, with flashbacks to Arkwright's upbringing by the Disruptors, escape to the parallel of his birth and early missions for zero-zero intermingling with the course of his mission in neo-Cromwellian England, with story-telling techniques and art styles shifting to match.

	Graphic novel review - The Adventures of Luther Arkwright - Bryan Talbot
		One such individual was Bryan Talbot, whose Adventures of Luther Arkwright was perhaps the first graphic novel to come out of Britain, and certainly the first specifically targeted at a mature readership.
		Luther Arkwright is a kind of trans-dimensional agent who exists in only one parallel universe at a time and can cross between them at will.
		The hunt for Firefrost takes Arkwright on a journey of his own though, and his character develops as the story moves along, leaving behind his philandering as he comes to understand the importance of his destiny.

	A Commentary on 'The Adventures of Luther Arkwright' - #1 The Disruption Spiral
		It is difficult to summarise The Adventures of Luther Arkwright.
		Both appear to be experiencing pleasure, and the symmetry and composition of the image seems to recall images of Luther meditating, suggesting that the pleasure is both physical, and metaphysical.
		In a frame beneath this Luther is seen in close-up - eyes and nose - and is telling someone that he "gained the confidence of King Charles" and that he "met the Czar a couple of times".

		I think it was Alan Moore who said that Arkwright was ahead of its time when it was first published, and that only towards the mid-to-late 1980s did the medium really start to catch up with what Bryan was doing.
		Arkwright was the first self consciously experimental british graphic novel.
		I was also struck by the resemblance of the idea of Luther as Homo novus to some of the mutations in New X-Men, and specifically the idea of evolution beyond the human (where the merely human is dying out).

		LUTHER ARKWRIGHT is probably the single most influential graphic novel to have come out of Britain to date.
		ARKWRIGHT informs Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis, me, and all the rest of us.
		But it remains one of the medium's richest works of science fiction, is as close to the definition of "novel" as anything on this site, and will always be one of the most explosive creative experiences comics have yet undergone.

		Luther Arkwright is probably the best comic book published in the last 15 years - better than even Grant Morrisson's Invisibles, or Garth Ennis' Preacher - a cult classic that deserves fullest attention.
