Alan Moore
Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
Alan Moore
Vertigo
, 1998
Sophisticated Suspense
The above title was once the series tagline. Anyway, Vol.1 starts off with the autopsy of Swamp Thing by the Floronic Man showing that Swamp Thing was never human. He was only the memories of Holland combined into the living swamp. He soon returns to the swamp and sets ...
Watchmen
Alan Moore,
Dave Gibbons
DC Comics
, 1995
Near Perfection
I finally bought Watchmen after hearing and reading about its greatness, and looking for something epic to fill the void I've seen in comics recently, I decided to give it a read. Watchmen truly deserves its title as one of the greatest graphic novels/comics ever, ...
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1
Alan Moore
America's Best Comics
, 1999
Don't order this title for your kids
I liked Watchmen, so I ordered TLoEG Vol 1 and 2 for my 10 year old son for Christmas. Thankfully, I started reading it before he did as it is very much an adult themed graphic novel, with a couple of rape scenes in the first half of Vol 1 alone. I haven't finished ...
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2
Alan Moore,
Kevin O'Neill
Wildstorm
, 2004
The League at it's best!
I loved volume 1 and volume 2 was even better. I thoroughly enjoyed the Almanac section of the book and the cool board game and other little "quips" that were added by Moore and O'Neill. There is a little more sexual content in this volume, but it doesn't detract ...
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
Alan Moore
Wildstorm
, 2007
An Extraordinary Title
To anyone familiar with the world of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (and I certainly do not mean the movie), this latest volume - The Black Dossier - will still manage to both surprise and delight. Set in a post Big Brother 1950's Britain, the story revolves ...
Batman: The Killing Joke
Alan Moore,
Brian Bolland
DC Comics
, 2008
Batman: The Killing Joke
This is one of the best Batman Comics. Great artwork and story! Well, I'm a great Joker fan and I like almost everything of his stories but this one is really really good! It also comes in great hardcover with some extra materials inside. If you want a great Joker and ...
V for Vendetta
Alan Moore,
David Lloyd
Vertigo
, 1995
Freedom, Self-Rule, and the Government
The most interesting thing about "V for Vendetta" is that the main theme of the novel isn't actually one man standing up to Fascism, though that's an aspect of it. The more relevant political theme is Anarchism, though it's still only partly about that. The primary ...
Alan Moore's Writing For Comics Volume 1
Alan Moore,
Jacen Burrows
Avatar Press
, 2003
Jump starts the imagination
Alan Moore takes us behind the scenes of comic writing as he explores his creative process and the important factors all new authors should consider when starting out in the comics medium. Even though it's very short, Moore packs insightful and relevant concepts into ...
From Hell - New Cover Edition
Alan Moore,
Eddie Campbell
Top Shelf Productions
, 2000
Jack the Ripper's story in a comic book
From Hell is kind of confusing for the first four or five chapters. You really don't have too much of a clue what's going on and who every character is. However, after the first murder, it really starts to weave all of the confusing parts of the first few chapters ...
Lost Girls
Alan Moore,
Melinda Gebbie
Top Shelf Productions
, 2006

Finally the complete work of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie. Between dream and lust, the erotic adventures of three girls of our imaginary: Alice, Dorothy and Wendy. A luxury edition that exalt Melinda Gebbie's superb drawing .
Swamp Thing Vol. 6: Reunion

Here is the final installment of Alan Moore's tremendous and groundbreaking run on the Swamp Thing series, collecting original issues #57-64. Moore brings to a precise ending his take on the character and his breathtaking development as an elemental spirit, but with ...
Promethea (Book 1)
Alan Moore
Wildstorm
, 2001
Trust the Snakes
I'm up to Promethea Part IV by now so I should back up and rein in my thoughts on Volume 1 (which collects the first 6 comics from back in 1999 it looks like). Anyway hats off to Alan Moore for serving up another variation on his "superwoman" ideal, as if Mina Harker ...
Promethea (Book 4)
Alan Moore
Wildstorm
, 2005
Welcome Victor Neuberg
I have been slogging through the Promethea books, always learning a little something, but mostly dazzled by the inventive methods Alan Moore and his collaborators have been activating what is otherwise a fairly static story and one that I barely understand. The ...
Swamp Thing Vol. 5: Earth to Earth
Alan Moore
Vertigo
, 2002
His Blue Heaven
If you've read the prior collections in this series and you thought things couldn't get any better, well you ain't seen nothing yet. This installment of the Swamp Thing graphic novel series contains just six issues from Alan Moore's run (#51-56), but that does include ...
Promethea - Book 5 (Promethea)
Alan Moore
Wildstorm
, 2006
The Big Finish, or Going Out With Style
I've been reading comics for nigh on thirty-five years now, and PROMETHEA is one of my all-time favorites. This concluding volume wraps up the show in fine fashion as Promethea ushers in an "apocalypse" that is wholly unexpected, and is based on the original Greek ...
