Alan Moore

Alan Moore (born 18 November 1953) is an English author known primarily for his work in comic books including Watchmen, V for Vendetta, The Ballad of Halo Jones, Swamp Thing, Batman: The Killing Joke, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? and From Hell.[1] He is widely recognised among his peers and critics as one of the best comic book writers in the English language.[2][3] Moore has occasionally used such pseudonyms as Curt Vile, Jill de Ray, Brilburn Logue, and Translucia Baboon; also, reprints of some of his work have been credited to The Original Writer when Moore requested that his name be removed.... Moore is an occultist, ceremonial magician (maagick),[6] and anarchist,[7] and has featured such themes in works including Promethea, From Hell, and V for Vendetta, as well as performing avant-garde spoken word occult "workings" with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some of which have been released on CD... As a comics writer, Moore applies literary sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium as well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes. He brings a wide range of influences to his work, such as William S. Burroughs,[90] William Blake,[91] Thomas Pynchon,[92] and Iain Sinclair,[93] New Wave science fiction writers like Michael Moorcock, and horror writers such as Clive Barker.[94] Influences within comics include Will Eisner,[95] Steve Ditko,[96] Harvey Kurtzman,[97] Jack Kirby,[98] and Bryan Talbot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore
