The Originals is a graphic novel by Dave Gibbons, published in 2004 by American publisher Vertigo Comics, and republished by dark horse comics on 2018.The semi-autobiographical story, deals with members of youth subcultures resembling the Mods and Rockers of 1960s England. Although the setting is mostly identical to post-World War II England, it is an unspecified alternate history where the characters ride on hovering scooters and motorcycles. Much of the story focuses on violent conflicts between the Originals and their enemies, a gang of bikers which they call "the Dirt". In particular, the Originals and the Dirt battle one another in circumstances very similar to the Second Battle of Hastings. Source: Wikipedia (en)
