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.

I freakin' love Tom Strong! The Alan Moore stories in this collection are all fun, but Steve Moore and Peter Hogan do most of the heavy lifting here and everything hits nicely and fits in perfectly well with the tone and heart of the main Tom Strong book. So far, this has been my most enjoyable read of the year, laughing out loud at some parts, and being totally gripped by the tension in others. Great read!

I enjoyed it well enough, no where near as good as the first Compendium but it was still a worthwhile experience
