Alan Moore
Perhaps the most widely respected comic writer of the modern era, Alan Moore's contribution to the comics world is incalculable. Creator of some of 2000 AD's most popular series, including Abelard Snazz, The Ballad of Halo Jones, D.R. & Quinch and Skizz, he has also worked on A.B.C. Warriors, Ro-Busters, Rogue Trooper, Ro-Jaws' Robo-Tales, Tharg the Mighty, Time Twisters and several one-off strips.
Outside of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, Moore is best known for his work on the classic Watchmen, which redefined the superhero genre in 1986, but this is simply touching the surface of a career which has included 1963, A1's Warpsmiths, Bojeffries Saga, Maxwell the Magic Cat, AARGH!, Batman, Big Numbers, Brought to Light, Captain Britain, Deathblow, Flesh and Bones, From Hell, Glory, Green Lantern Corps, Lost Girls, Miracleman, A Small Killing, Snakes and Ladders, Spawn, Supreme, Swamp Thing, Superman, V For Vendetta, WildC.A.T.S. and Youngblood.
