Alan Moore

By David Pepose Move on over, Bono and Spider-Man — this is what I really want to see. The Guardian reports that Alan Moore has been contacted by Damon Albern and Jamie Hewlett to work on the follow-up to their opera Monkey: Journey to the West. Read on: “They came down to Northampton last week because we’re pl...

By David Pepose It was golden. Moore and Lloyd’s work was groundbreaking, as it got Moore in particular a shot at the big times — DC Comics. In 1983, Moore was writing Swamp Thing, moving onto icons such as Superman in “For the Man Who Has Everything” and Batman in “The Killing Joke,” and would soon move on to th...

By Nick Nadel Though I'd rank From Hell somewhere below Sleepy Hollow (but above The Corpse Bride) on the Johnny Depp Halloween movie spectrum, the Hughes Brothers's underrated 2001 Jack the Ripper tale still works for some real scares. It only slightly resembles Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's mass...

By David Pepose The inspiration? Hemingway’s favorite short story: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” So Wired asked tons of writers — including some of the best and the brightest comics storytellers — to give their spin on the six-word story. Here are three of my favorites, from comics and sci-fi lumina...

By bunnylette This tale of Jack the Ripper and how it’s inculcated into a scheme of cover-ups, misleading events and political insurgence makes one good piece of reading. Alan Moore’s words are chilling, dry yet addictive (kinda like how i got hooked up on his V for Vendetta book).I have yet to grab myself...

By schlockmaster O.K., I have re-read the comic books and just looked at the video again, there´s things that you can like about the motion picture and there´s things that I can´t. In fact I have quite a few problems with this and most of the other comic book movies of the last decade. But in comparison with superhe...

Herald & Review, IL In comics, I guess I give it to Alan Moore, even if he DOES insist on writing “Lost Girls” (which in all fairness, I haven't read). In animation (and guys who will be summoned at the sound of the trumpet to destroy evil in the great war to come), ...

The works of Frank Miller, along with creator Alan Moore, have added velocity to comic book styled feature films. “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”, however, on singular merit have been the character and story motivated movies in the Batman ...

By Andrew Hickey My problem with this comic isn’t so much with the comic itself, as with it being yet another exemplar of a rather worrying trend in Alan Moore’s work – in a large, large proportion of Moore’s work – the overwhelming majority of it, in fact – there is a rape scene or other scene of seualised viol...

By Riot Because of its comparatively light tone – though Alan Moore certainly does not shy away from serious and potentially controversial content in his comedy – the Smax miniseries has more in common with Terry Pratchett’s Discworld franchise than his other deconstructions. Both men know ho...

By J. Caleb Mozzocco The format is similarly something between the two previous models; it’s not a six-issue comic book series, nor an original (hybrid) graphic novel, but a series of three original graphic novellas, each set in a distinct part of the 20th century.

By comicbookjesus Fans of Watchmen will be familiar with typical Moore devices, particularly the panels that are filled with details that go over this uneducated fanboy’s head. After reading Century, I’m still a fan, but one of the earlier, and simpler tales. I don’t mean to say that I’m a fan of the much-dilu...

By comicbookjesus The characters we all know and love from Watchmen are amusingly tweaked here, so The Comedian resembles Krusty the Clown, Rorschach becomes the “Jewish” Spottyman and Dr. Manhattan becomes a man who walked under a falling tin of blue paint and became Mr. Broadway.

By Richard The Guardian had a nice piece about Alan Moore the other day that I forgot to link to, luckily Joe caught it. And I also received an email that I thought I’d share with you, a little tale of Alan Moore as told by Paul Rainey, who kindly gave permission to reprint it here:

By Rahul Victor That probably crossed the minds of a few movie-goers who already had read the revered graphic-novel Watchmen as they watched the credits roll on Zac Snyder’s recent adaptation. Indeed, Watchmen presents a plethora of challenges for a filmmaker attempting to bring Alan Moore’s unconve...

By comicbookjesus Hollywood has been trying to make Watchmen ever since the lauded 12 issue series from DC Comics was released twenty years ago. With a variety of writers and directors attached, the adaptation kept going nowhere. Director Terry Gilliam (Monty Python,  The Brothers Grimm) was attached to t...

By David Pepose Consensus: Gritty and visually striking, Watchmen is a faithful adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel, but its complex narrative structure may make it difficult for it to appeal to viewers not already familiar with the source material.

By Jeet Heer I have a confession to make. Although I’ve often written on comics, indeed have co-edited several books on comics, my bona fides as a fan can be question. You see, I’ve never really enjoyed Watchmen, the celebrated Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons graphic novel.

By J. Caleb Mozzocco DC hasn’t published any of these in a while, but they used to be rather common. There was 1992’s Batman Gallery, which collected various covers and pin-ups into a comic book format, with a cover by young Joe Quesada (Which reminds me, when is DC going to publish their Complete Joe Quesada DC U...

By COED Staff Author Alan Moore turned the comics genre on its head and opened the doors for more mature stories in a medium that is considered child-fare with his seminal series Watchmen, soon to be a major motion picture. But Watchmen isn’t Alan Moore’s only work of genius - he is responsible for many of...

By Zac Pritcher Alan Moore is known as one of the best comic book writers in the world. He’s written critically acclaimed greats like V for Vendetta, From Hell, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Not to mention he was also behind the single greatest comic in all of history: Watchmen. He also wrote a sm...

By beeslo Hey, so remember that review of Watchmen I did…like yesterday? Remember how I said, it would be cool if Alan Moore had made some more back story concerning the partnership of Rorschach and Nite Owl? But also remember how I said that would be, in fact, more of a bad idea?

By Elisabeth Rappe There was a test screening of Watchmen last week. And according to the gang at /film, the buzz is building that the ending of the graphic novel has been changed in the movie.

By Brian Cronin Promethea #32 But one of them would have been the nod, that is, until Promethea #32 came out - the final issue of Alan Moore’s classic run on Promethea (probably the best of his America’s Best Comics books), the conclusion TO the entire line of comics AND an amazing comic book in its own right.

Despite the rise of the so-called graphic novel over the past few decades—self-contained, morally complex comic series like Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns—comic books are still widely regarded as kiddie stuff. And when X-Men and Spider-Man recently...

By Brian Cronin 5. Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing – 942 points (30 first place votes) During his run, Moore also introduced John Constantine, who would be Swamp Thing’s guide on a number of stories (more accurately, he would con Swamp Thing into getting involved in stuff).

By Brian Cronin 40. Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III’s Promethea – 220 points (4 first place votes) Promethea #1-32 36. Alan Moore’s Marvelman/Miracleman – 234 points (3 first place votes) Warrior #1-21, Miracleman #7-16 (#1-6 reprinted the Warrior stories)

By Brian Cronin While he certainly had competition for the honor, Steve Englehart might be the most acclaimed comic writer working at DC and Marvel during the 1970s. Englehart left Marvel for DC and did a notable run on the Justice League, also using a great deal of DC’s past history.
