Alan Moore




Alan Moore in my opinion is the greatest writer in the graphic novel industry. After seeing the work of Ditko i started looking into comics and graphic novels. Graphic novels i felt were much better. They are usually a lot more dark, and have more going on in terms of sub-plots and hidden meaning than a average comic dose. Alan Moore has wrote a lot of brilliant stories including V for Vendetta, From Hell, The league of extraordinary Gentlemen, Swamp thing and Watchmen. Watchmen is considered by many as the greatest graphic novel ever wrote. In it he explored the idea of what would happen if superheros were real, but there is a lot more to it than that, with the story questioning a lot of world issues. The character Rorschach is Moore's idea of what Batman would be like if he was real, and Moore believes he would be a absolute sociopath who people wouldn't like and would be scary. It makes sense when you think about it, a masked vigilante beating people to a pulp at night would be.
