This is kind of a sequel to Moore's Noir, revisiting the characters Sammy "Two Toes" Tiffin and his girlfriend Stilton (aka The Cheese). The story is a convoluted tale of Chinese immigrants, prostitutes, Lesbians, drag queens, an overambitious anti-gay head of the vice squad, an alien (space type), and dragons of the mythological type all inhabiting post-WWII San Francisco. I can't really explain the connections between all the different elements but Moore makes it work. I admit to some confusion during the story but it all works out in the end. This is far from Moore's best work and doesn't come close to his Shakespeare satires but I enjoyed it. The theory of what caused the 1906 earthquake makes it worth reading.
