Alan Moore Biography

Alan Moore is one of the most popular and richest Novelist who was born on November 18, 1953 in England, England, United Kingdom. Graphic novel writer and artist whose best-known works include Watchmen and V for Vendetta. His work on DC Comics’ Swamp Thing gave the character depth and dimension. He founded America’s Best Comics in the 1990s.

His Watchmen character Edward Blake was played by Jeffrey Morgan in the 2009 film.

The other series that Moore began for Taboo was Lost Girls, which he described as a work of intelligent “pornography”. Illustrated by Melinda Gebbie, with whom Moore subsequently entered into a relationship, it was set in 1913, where Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and Wendy from Peter Pan – who are each of a different age and class – all meet in a European hotel and regale each other with tales of their sexual encounters. With the work, Moore wanted to attempt something innovative in comics, and believed that creating comics pornography was a way of achieving this. He remarked that “I had a lot of different ideas as to how it might be possible to do an up- front sexual comic strip and to do it in a way that would remove a lot of what I saw were the problems with pornography in general. That it’s mostly ugly, it’s mostly boring, it’s not inventive – it has no standards.” Like From Hell, Lost Girls outlasted Taboo, and a few subsequent instalments were published erratically until the work was finished and a complete edition published in 2006.

The first series published by ABC was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which featured a variety of characters from Victorian adventure novels, such as H. Rider Haggard’s Allan Quatermain, H. G. Wells’ Invisible Man, Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Wilhelmina Murray from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Illustrated by Kevin O’Neill, the first volume of the series pitted the League against Professor Moriarty from the Sherlock Holmes books; the second, against the Martians from The War of the Worlds. A third volume entitled The Black Dossier was set in the 1950s. The series was well received, and Moore was pleased that an American audience was enjoying something he considered “perversely English”, and that it was inspiring some readers to get interested in Victorian literature.

He and his first wife, Phyllis, had two daughters, Leah and Amber. He and Phyllis shared a lover named Deborah. Their relationship ended in the 1990s when both women left him. He married his second wife and frequent collaborator, Melinda Gebbie, in 2007.

He was an artist for DC Comics early in his career, but he later abandoned mainstream comic book work. His time with DC produced such classics as Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? and Batman: The Killing Joke, which effectively ended the crimefighting career of Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl.

His graphic novels inspired films such as 2001’s From Hell, 2003’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and 2005’s V for Vendetta.

Meanwhile, Moore began producing work for Taboo, a small independent comic anthology edited by his former collaborator Stephen R. Bissette. The first of these was From Hell, a fictionalised account of the Jack the Ripper murders of the 1880s. Inspired by Douglas Adams’ novel Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, Moore reasoned that to solve a crime holistically, one would need to solve the entire society it occurred in, and depicts the murders as a consequence of the politics and economics of the time. Just about every notable figure of the period is connected with the events in some way, including “Elephant Man” Joseph Merrick, Oscar Wilde, Native American writer Black Elk, William Morris, artist Walter Sickert, and Aleister Crowley, who makes a brief appearance as a young boy. Illustrated in a sooty pen-and-ink style by Eddie Campbell, From Hell took nearly ten years to complete, outlasting Taboo and going through two more publishers before being collected as a trade paperback by Eddie Campbell Comics. It was widely praised, with comics author Warren Ellis calling it “my all-time favourite graphic novel”.
