About the Author

Perhaps the most widely respected comic writer of the modern era, Alan Moore's contribution to the comics' industry is incalculable. Co-creator of some of 2000 AD's most popular series, including The Ballad of Halo Jones and DR & Quinch, he also has numerous Future Shocks and Time Twisters to his name.

Outside of 2000 AD, Moore is best known for his work on the epic comic series, V For Vendetta and Watchmen, the latter of which redefined the superhero genre in 1986. Both have been adapted into big-budget Hollywood movies by Warner Brothers, along with two other Moore books, From Hell and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
