About the Book



Collection and analysis of Alan Moore's difficult to find short comics stories.



Book Synopsis



EISNER AWARD Nomination Best Scholarly/Academic Work

A collection of Alan Moore's (Watchmen, From Hell) difficult-to-find comics short stories. From bold experiments, through early takes on his favorite subjects, to self-critiques of his older work, this wide-ranging collection is an essential look at Moore's illuminating short stories. Each story is drawn by some of the best artists in comics from mainstream mavericks like Steven Bissette(Swamp Thing, Tyrant), Rick Veitch (Swamp Thing, Bratpack) & John Totleben (Miracelman) to underground iconoclasts like Mark Beyer (RAW) and Peter Bagge(Hate, Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story). Comic book critic Marc Sobel provides insightful commentary and context for each of the stories.



Review Quotes




"What is apparent on reading the comics and the essays here is just how brilliant an author Moore is. There is so much depth and nuance to his work, easily missed without Sobel's guiding hand. This is an exceptional book, essential for fans but also able to serve as a brilliant introduction."--The Quietus
