Halo Jones has become an iconic figure, one who has stepped out of the pages of the comicbook to become a significant literary creation. The premise is straightforward. A young girl feels trapped in a boring and montonous life and longs for excitement and escape. Halo is continually on a quest to make more of herself and as the naive girl grows into the battlehardened soldier, she never loses her youthful desire for something more. The storyline is both inspirational and tender, we never see Halo winning. She loses her friends and is very much on her own. The illustrations are superbly detailed and dramatic.
