Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Considered by some to be Alan Moore's magnum opus, and also his most famous incomplete work, The Ballad of Halo Jones is a trilogy of stories written by Moore and drawn by Ian Gibson that feature the life of a young working class woman who went on to become a legend.Planned to run nine volumes, with each volume skipping ten years in her life to show Halo at different points in her existence, only the first three volumes were completed and published in 2000 AD. The serial was abandoned due to disputes between Moore and the publisher over ownership rights to the characters.Warning: spoilers follow.Halo Jones is an 18-year-old living in futuristic floating housing estate on Earth called "The Hoop." The Hoop is filled with the poor, beggars, Proximans, and a strange cult called the Different Drummers (who have an implant which generates a perpetual drumbeat in their heads that occasionally make them violent). Halo, along with her friend and house-mate Rodice and mechanical dog bodyguard Toby, traverse the Hoop and get into various adventures in trying to buy food for their other house-mate Brinna, who shelters them. Hilarity Ensues as they encounter various obstacles to getting home, but they finally get home in one piece...to find Brinna murdered and their other house-mate Ludy joining the Different Drummer cult. With no place to live, Halo announces her decision to go into space.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Book Two features a Time Skip as Halo is working as a hostess about a space cruise ship, with fellow hostess and roommate Toy and the Invisible to Normals Glyph, various events happen. The first hints of a war in the Tarantula Nebula emerge and it's revealed Toby killed Brinna because he loves Halo and wanted to be with her. The book ends on a cliffhanger, revealing that Halo is destined to become a great war hero.Book Three begins after another Time Skip, showing various occupations Halo was in after she left the Clara Pandy. She ends up, ten years later, on the planet Pwuc "where the Catsblood never runs out but the dreams do." There, she meets Toy again, who persuades her to join the army, currently engaged in brutal guerrilla war in the Tarantula Nebula. As a part of Platoon B, Halo sees the horrors of war, as most of her platoon mates die, culminating in the death of Toy. Halo quits the army after that, but with nothing to do and no job, she starts to go crazy and reenlists. And then gets sent to Warzone 1, the planet Moab, where the intense gravity does strange things to time, where the battles last five minutes and two months, and where Halo meets General Cannibal. As the war ends, Halo discovers her inadvertent complicity in Gen Cannibal's war crimes, kills him and is last seen stealing his spaceship to take her off to new adventures.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Love-Interest Traitor | |
| The Ballad of Halo Jones (Comic Book) / int_1a235210 | comment |
Love-Interest Traitor: Near the end of book three, Halo starts a relationship with General Luiz Cannibal. After Earth's government falls, he's accused of war crimes by the new regime and denies the charges, saying that a Kangaroo Court is making him The Scapegoat. Halo realises that the allegations are true, and that (long before they met) she was unknowingly complicit in his plan to use 'ratwar' - rat-controlled plagues - to kill an entire world's population. She secretly sabotages his gravity suit so that he'll be crushed to death on the surface of Moab. | |

Orphaned Series | |
| The Ballad of Halo Jones (Comic Book) / int_2c18b9a3 | comment |
Orphaned Series: Book three delivers a fairly satisfying conclusion, but it's only a third of the way through Moore and Gibson's original arc. The Ballad of Halo Jones was work for hire, and is owned by 2000 AD's current owners, who could theoretically continue it with a different creative team - but, as of 2023, they have chosen not to. | |

Shameful Source of Knowledge: At the end of book one, Halo gets a job on the space liner Clara Pandy because she can speak Cetacean. When challenged by Rodice she admits she learned it as a member of the (deeply uncool) Ritit Rikti Fan Club, but didn't want anyone to know that she was a teenage Aqua-Boppette. | |

Distant Finale: There was foreshadowing that this device would be used, with a scene set in a university history lecture several thousand years after the events of the main story discussing Halo's significance as a historical character/folk hero. However, the comic was, unfortunately, never finished. | |

| The Ballad of Halo Jones (Comic Book) / int_607df6c | comment |
Recruiters Always Lie: There's a whole chapter dedicated to this trope, where Halo re-reads her recruitment pamphlet as ironic narration to a flashback montage of her training. When the montage ends, it's shown she's on a drop ship in a spacesuit, about to be deployed, right after she's found the spot in the pamphlet she remembered where it said 40% of recruits never see combat. | |

Perception Filter: Glyph had their sex changed so often they ended up with a gender-neutral body and this ability. While they find it much easier to get whatever they want (being able to bypass a checkout counter and so on), they are very lonely since they can't turn off this 'power'. | |

Time Dilation: The planet Moab has such an extreme gravitational field that all the soldiers have to wear high pressure armor to fight. When the Amazon Brigade marches towards combat, the fight is frozen but gradually speeds up as they get closer to it, being at normal speed by the time they arrive. Every time Halo goes out on a mission for an afternoon, she misses another birthday. She ends up getting promoted this way, and she returns one last time to find that war ended months ago. | |

When can afford second word in name, will be Snivelling Earthquake." | |

Action Girl: Halo is a subversion. Even when she becomes a soldier, she doesn't fight much—most of it is running around, trying not to get shot.

Love Makes You Evil: Toby the robot guard dog murders his owner Brinna, staging the scene to look like a break-in gone wrong. When Halo listens to audio from his old memory tapes and hears Brinna dying, she asks herself why he did it. Toby promptly appears in the room and says it's because he loves Halo, and because Brinna left him to Halo in her will. | |
