Alan Moore (November 18, 1953, Northampton) is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the history of graphic media. In 1979, he began publishing his works in the music magazine Sounds, under the pseudonym Curt Vile. Moore, with a nonconformist spirit, decides to jump into the world of scripting and in 1980 creates Ro-Jaws Robo Tales and Abelard Snazz, in addition to contributing to the Marvel Comics UK series Dr. Who Weekly.

With this background, he creates works like WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, SWAMP THING, and MIRACLEMAN, which have earned him numerous awards. He is also the brain behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has produced (along with many talented illustrators) THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, PROMETHEA, TOM STRONG, TOMORROW STORIES, and TOP TEN. As one of the most important innovators in the medium since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comic creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience.
