Alan Moore
1,578 books21.7k followersAlan Moore is an English writer most famous for his influential work in comics, including the acclaimed graphic novels Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. He has also written a novel, Voice of the Fire, and performs "workings" (one-off performance art/spoken word pieces) with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some of which have been released on CD.
As a comics writer, Moore is notable for being one of the first writers to apply literary and formalist sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson and Iain Sinclair; New Wave science fiction writers such as Michael Moorcock; horror writers such as Clive Barker; to the cinematic–filmmakers such as Nicolas Roeg. Influences within comics include Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby and Bryan Talbot.

There is nothing quite like an Alan Moore comic book. The writer is a genre unto his own. Though Moore may have left writing superhero comic books, his past work can still be found in back issue bins of history, with some books never collected nor transferred into the electronic medium. Top 10 isn't one of them. Trust DC to continue to churn out Moore's work for the publisher, always keeping them in print.
Top 10 was one of Moore's last works in superheroes, although his intention was to write a police procedural in a city of superheroes. It was like Moore telling his readers that there was more to comics than superheroes, and he was certainly right.
The first issue of Top 10 was certainly a treat, dense in both art and story, it worked well to introduce both the POV main character, and her milieu. The readers got a fully formed city with its backstory in the letters page. This certainly was a meatier read than a current comic book in this day and age.
