No matter what dictionary you look in, there are no words that can
capture either who Alan Moore is or what he means to comics. But
it doesn't mean we aren't going to give this the old college try.
Alan Moore did something
to comics that was wonderful, magical and beautiful. He brought
a renaissance - a revolution to the art form, armed only with his
vision and pen. Moore brought a cerebral edge to comics, the like
of which have never been seen, making innovations and bringing back
imagination. He expanded the boundaries and destroyed any limitations
with his storytelling. His writing gained the love of the fanboys
and the respect of the mainstream because he is a great writer in
any medium.
The British six-foot-two
resident of Northampton has earned a well-deserved place in comics
folklore alongside Jack Kirby and Harvey Kurtzman. His work on Swamp
Thing, Watchmen, From Hell and other classics
will forever stand as a testimony to the kind of greatness comics
can achieve. And every month, a whole new generation of readers
continue to get dazzled by his work on America's Best Comics.
