For over thirty years, from his earliest work in underground Arts Lab projects, through the From Hell and America's Best Comics period to the current and controversial Lost Girls, Moore has pushed the perimeter of the comic's medium. Moore's work crosses genre boundaries like few others, ranging from farce and high comedy to the dark, grim work that epitomized the graphics novel and comics revolution of the late eighties.
This book examines recurring themes and how Moore's work has evolved over the years from his early comic work in Captain Britain and 2000AD, through milestone series like V for Vendetta, Marvelman, Swamp Thing and Watchmen, to the genre-stretching work, Lost Girls and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. On the way, Moore has written definitive stories of America's greatest superheroes Batman and Superman, penned some of the most widely read graphic novels of all time, and helped turn comics into an indispensable art form.
In the Pocket Essential Alan Moore you'll meet Moore the pop icon ( everyone from Shriekback to Transvision Vamp have hung out with Halo Jones), Moore the performance artist and magician, Moore the novelist and, above all, Moore the writer who helped change the face of comics forever. As well as an introductory essay, this book is a comprehensive survey of Alan Moore's career. It also contains a complete list of his works, including projects that never saw the light of day.
