Like all collections a mixed bag and some of these haven't aged well but there's darkness and taboo throughout this horror collection with big names like Moore, Moebius, Sim, Gaiman and Jodorowsky providing some highlights.
The great Taboo re-read continues with the best volume so far. This edition has a greater level of reprint material than the first three volumes, but don't worry: you probably didn't read the material before it appeared here and you likely haven't seen it since.I'm not going to mention every piece in the book, but I'll call out the highlights. Taboo 4 opens with the excellent "Dreaming and the Law" by Phillip Hester, who does more in 2 pages than more can do in 20. Great piece, a bit rougher in
This huge issue is anchored by a long, atmospheric Jodorowsky/Moebius piece, and a chapter from Moore/Campbell's "In Hell". The detail in Moebius' art is just gorgeous.The rest is very mixed, mostly short forgettable miniatures. There's a 2-page Phil Hester piece, interesting but not as striking as his later contribution in Taboo #9.
