About the author

Alan 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.

Reviews

[Urbon Adamsson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one was a difficult read. I like the concept and the plot but just like most comics written on the 80s or before, it can be difficult to read.

I know it is considered one of the best comic books of all time and I'm sure that back in 1985 it was amazing but nowadays it just doesn't feel the same.

That was incredible.

If I'm to project, I think the narration caught me rapt in the dark because I'm at my base a rather cold person outside of my mirroring and could relate to the logical indifference under the assault of another's emotions. I felt the tone so strongly.

Uma conclusão épica para uma grande obra de bd.
