    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, 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.[4]
    Moore started writing for British underground and alternative fanzines in the late 1970s before
    achieving success publishing comic strips in such magazines as 2000 AD and Warrior. He was
    subsequently picked up by DC Comics as "the first comics writer living in Britain to do
    prominent work in America",[3]: 7  where he worked on major characters such as Batman (Batman:
    The Killing Joke) and Superman (Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?), substantially
    developed the character Swamp Thing, and penned original titles such as Watchmen. During that
    decade, Moore helped to bring about greater social respectability for comics in the United States
    and United Kingdom.[3]: 11  He prefers the term "comic" to "graphic novel".[5] In the late 1980s and
    early 1990s he left the comic industry mainstream and went independent for a while, working on
    experimental work such as the epic From Hell and the prose novel Voice of the Fire. He
    subsequently returned to the mainstream later in the 1990s, working for Image Comics, before
    developing America's Best Comics, an imprint through which he published works such as The
    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the occult-based Promethea. In 2016, he
    published Jerusalem: a 1,266-page experimental novel set in his hometown of Northampton, UK.
    Moore is an occultist, ceremonial magician,[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.
    Despite his objections, Moore's works have provided the basis for several Hollywood films,
    including From Hell (2001), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), V for
    Vendetta (2005), and Watchmen (2009). Moore has also been referenced in popular culture and
    has been recognised as an influence on a variety of literary and television figures including Neil
    Gaiman[8] and Damon Lindelof.[9] He has lived a significant portion of his life in Northampton,
    England, and he has said in various interviews that his stories draw heavily from his experiences
    living there.
