Alan Moore (Northampton, 18 november 1953) is een Britse stripauteur en schrijver. Zijn grootste bekendheid verwierf hij met Batman: The Killing Joke, From Hell (1991-1993), Marvelman (in Amerika uitgebracht als Miracleman, 1985-1988), Saga of the Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta en Watchmen (1986-1987). Hiervan zijn er verschillende verfilmd, hoewel Moore zichzelf distantieert van het eindresultaat.[1] Hij had zijn eigen imprint bij uitgeverij DC Comics, genaamd ABC, wat staat voor America's Best Comics. Onder dat label bracht hij onder meer de door hemzelf geschreven titels The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (1999), Tomorrow Stories, Promethea, Top 10 en Tom Strong uit. Moore is een overtuigd vegetariër en hangt het anarchisme en het occultisme aan. Hij valt op door zijn enorme baard, en is zo een dankbare prooi voor karikaturisten. Nadat Frank Miller, een andere bekende stripauteur van o.a. Sin City, commentaar gaf op de Occupybeweging en anarchisme, ging Moore in de clinch door Miller een openbare brief te schrijven.[2] Selectieve bibliografie[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Strips

SMAX (Volume 1)Komik terbaik Amerika yang direkomendasikan membacaLiga Tuan -tuan Luar Biasa (Volume 1) Liga Tuan -tuan Luar Biasa (Volume 2) Promethea (Volume 1)Liga Tuan -tuan Luar Biasa (Volume 1) Anyone with a love for the peculiarities of comics will enjoy Top Ten. Not only does it contain allegories for almost every major superhero, but handles the idea Kurt Busiek plays with in Astro City with a sillier and yet at the same time more engaging tone. The mysteries are also tightly-plotted and a joy to follow along with, all the way to the story's horrifying revelation about heroes.Perhaps the most fun to be had in this series are the constant in-jokes. While some people may stretch one idea over a four-issue miniseries, Alan Moore drops ideas into the background of page 4, panel 5, and quickly moves on.Ex 1: A traffic accident draws 'rubberneckers': in this case, Plastic Man, Mr. Fantastic, Shape, and other stretchable heroes in comics.Ex 2: A Neopolis hospital ER has attending physicians such as Dr. Fate, Dr. Strange, and Dr. Who.Ex 3: In Neopolis, even the mice are super. In fact, their superheroes have names like the Saturnian Scraphunter, who contend with cosmic cats like Galactipuss.The scripts for this series must be beyond typical Moore enormity, as picking apart the panels for all of the in-jokes and clues can take up many an enjoyable hour. Also, the final chapter is a sadly overlooked, very human tale about two beings in a 'car crash' waiting to die. Well worth the price of admission. Moore from one of the best writers in comics.Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago (Excuse the pun.) Alan Moore, author of the excellent "Watchmen", "Miracleman", "Swamp Thing", and (arguably the best graphic novel I ever read), "V for Vendetta"; scores high marks with "Top Ten", part of his "American Best Comics Line" published by Wildstorm Productions, a division of DC Comics.In terms of plot structure, "Top Ten" has a lot in commmon with television writer/producer Steve Bocho's "ensemble" police dramas, like "Hill Street Blues" and "NYPD Blue", except that it's set in a city populated by superpowered beings, where everyone, from the Mayor on down to the lowliest street bum, has some kind of superpower, special ability, or exceptional skill. A premise that leads to dozens of fun and interesting visual ideas, gags, and subplots, that enrich the storylines while being presented in a rather offhand and humorous fashion; but what really impresses me about this series is the interplay between the characters, the cynical humor of the "cop banter" and the way Moore uses situations and incidents to reveal each character's personality, pecadillos, strengths and weaknesses. Each character is distinct and multi-layered, gradually revealed through the course of the narrative. Given what usually passes for character in most comic books, Moore's writing really is remarkable, and like the same author's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", signals a welcome change of pace from the dense, dark psychological drama one usually associates with Alan Moore. (But then, one could say the same about most of the title's the prolific Moore writes under the DC/WS/ABC imprint.)In a recent interview, Moore referred (rightly) how DC Comics Vertigo Line of Comics was built on "a mood" that infected his writing back in eighties and nineties, a set of ideas and general tone that along with Frank Miller's (Sin City, Batman: Dark Knight Returns) storytelling style and Howard Chaykin's satirical bent, has had a great impact on (read: been widely copied in) American Comics. May this newer turn, toward more light hearted by equally interesting and dramatic work, have an equal and lasting impact.Gene Ha and Zander Cannon's art is a revelation: the best work I've seen by either artist. By choosing to avoid the visual hyperbole common to the superhero genre, and playing it "straight", their work actually serves to highlight the exceptional, irrational and wonderful while humanizing the superhuman. Their contribution to the success of this enterprise shouldn't underestimated, nor go unmentioned.I can't believe I didn't pick this title up when it first came out in comic book form: what was I thinking? An entertaining, fun adult comicPublished by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago It's funny, when I saw Top Ten in the store, I really wasn't too interested but for two facts: it was recommended by the store I was in, and it was written by Alan Moore. Those being two notable exceptions, I took a chance and bought it. And I guess, given my five star review, you can guess that I didn't regret it. (The only thing I do regret is getting the particular copy I got; I just noticed that the binding is coming loose in the back. But I would guess, unless there are further complaints, that this is just this particular copy, as the book doesn't seem to be cheaply made at all.) Top Ten takes place in an alternate universe city called Neopolis, which is best described as a futuristic version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. This city, built shortly after World War II, is charged with housing the world's superheroes keeping the rest of the population safe. By 1999, the year the events here take place, Neopolis is quite overcrowded, as you might expect. The story follows Robyn "Toybox" Slinger, who is a rookie at the 10th precinct police station, casually referred to as Top Ten. (Her "power," incidentally, is her box of robotic toys she carries around, which can search and destroy upon command)What impressed me most about this comic is the character interaction. Each of the characters, and there are quite a few, are well-designed and genuinely interesting. It's very nice that while they all have definite personalities, no one can really be pigeon-holed in a one-word adjective. A lot of characters in other books (and not just comic books) can be described accurately as "the grouchy one" or "the stupid one." Not so here. (The only exception is Smax, Slinger's partner, who is the grouchy one. But it's easy to forgive this, because there are many other qualities to him) One particular standout is the boss, Sergeant Caesar, who is a dog in a robotic suit, sort of a quadripedal version of Earthworm Jim. The credit for this book really is equally divided between it's artists, Gene Ha and Zander Cannon, and it's writer, Alan Moore. Moore, who at least I had only known to write downbeat stories like V for Vendetta, Watchmen and Swamp Thing, here shows that he can write upbeat, funny stories as well. Of those books, I would say this is sort of comparable to Watchmen. It has a lot of similar observations about superheroes, although using a far less dark storyline to make them. And Ha and Cannon's artwork is simply incredible, showing amazing amount of detail in every panel.Basically, if you have any interest in comics, you really should read Top Ten. It's probably the most well-drawn, funny and fun comics for adults I've yet read. Hill Street Blues dan NYPD Blue Meet SuperpowersDiterbitkan oleh ThriftBooks.com Pengguna, 22 tahun yang lalu Pikirkan Hill Street Blues dan NYPD Blue digabungkan, kecuali di dunia di mana kekuatan super adalah norma. Tulisannya sebagus yang ditemukan di acara pemenang Emmy. Fakta bahwa semua orang memiliki kemampuan yang sangat kuat mungkin menyesatkan kepada seseorang yang belum membaca sepuluh besar. Karakternya sama seperti fakta ini, karena itu adalah urutan hal yang normal. Tidak ada slugfest di sini. Serial ini benar-benar lucu-salah satu petugas wanita menghabiskan seluruh waktunya telanjang, karena dia "pakaian" dirinya dengan menggunakan kemampuannya untuk memigmen kulitnya warna apa pun dan di tempat yang dia inginkan. Ini membuat ketelanjangannya tidak dapat dikenali oleh siapa pun kecuali letnannya, anjing dengan kecerdasan manusia yang hanya melihat dalam warna hitam dan putih seperti yang tidak akan dilakukan anjing. Reaksinya ketika dia menyadari ini lucu karena dia telah bekerja dengannya selama bertahun -tahun. Dia keluar dari itu dengan mengatakan kepadanya bahwa dia hanya tertarik pada anjing lain (Wink!). Seni ini sangat detail sehingga Anda bisa menghabiskan banyak waktu di setiap halaman untuk menyerap semua kejutan tersembunyi. Ini umumnya dipandang sebagai salah satu dari jika bukan buku terbaik di bidang komik. Sungguh, jika Anda bukan pembaca komik, Anda akan menikmati ini.
