Writer
Alan Moore
Alan Moore is a British comic book writer and novelist known for literary depth, complex characters, and political themes. His work brought mature storytelling to mainstream comics and challenged genre conventions.
Moore's major works include Watchmen, a deconstruction of the superhero genre, V for Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Batman: The Killing Joke, and his celebrated run on Swamp Thing that redefined the character.
He is known for rejecting corporate control over creators' rights and has distanced himself from film adaptations of his work, declining association and royalties. Outside comics, Moore has written novels including Jerusalem and Voice of the Fire.
