Watchmen, V, From Hell... The man is nothing but a legend
His comics also happen to be the best comics
Other essential books of his include his massive synthesis of the Jack the ripper crimes/Victorian England, From Hell, his gargantuan literary/pop-cultural melange of a mash-up, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, his brilliantly written prose novels set in his hometown, Voice of the Fire and Jerusalem, and his dark, amusing, clever filtering of Lovecraft's works, Providence, not ignoring the epic fable of human sexuality and pornography, Lost Girls. Not many writers have that kind of range.
Providence/The Courtyard/Neonomicon for me. I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, and this series as so many easter eggs and hidden trivia/references in it!
Thanks for all the new content!
His well known masterpieces V for Vendetta,Watchmen,From Hell,The League’,Saga of the Swamp Thing are rightly held up in praise.While watchmen is undoubtedly a serious take of superheroes & it is a masterpiece but it’s far from fun.If you want the most fun Alan Moore superhero books you need to read his TOP 10 series.Get the ABSOLUTE EDITION if you can because it includes top 10 vol’ 1&2,SMAX & the prequel TOP 10 the 49ers.It costs a small fortune 2nd hand though but it’s amazing & shows a love for superheroes that I never knew existed in Alan Moore.Gene Ha & Zander Cannons artwork matches the quality of the writing,you can tell they all had a blast creating this world of superhero’s,the fun they had jumps out of every panel/page!
Loving the amount of Comics Guide content these past few weeks!
Thanks man!
Me too!
My favorite is From Hell. Eddie Campbells art is amazing and Alan Moores take on jack the ripper is really good. It's his grand epic so epic that there is 2 appendixes for the damn thing
Why does no one mention Alan Moore's "Top 10"😩? That one is my personal favorite! A world where everyone is super powered!
From Hell is, for me, Alan Moore's most accomplished and emotionally powerful work. Patriarchy, the dark abyss underpinning the human soul, becomes the root of all evil. Moore subverts God, religion, the bible and our entire social and political structure. From Hell shows a hopelessness alleviated only by a V for Vendetta.
I just bought it recently. Was going to wait to finish his swamp thing run but I might just have to drive in.
I would love 4 someone 2 do a list of Mr. Moore's best Image Comics from back in day. plenty of content I've noticed
"watchmen" isnt a group tho, there were the minutemen, and the first meeting of "the crimebusters" is depicted in the story with the comedians rant etc and the crimebusters never became a group.
I know this has nothing to do with this video, BUT after watching your last video again I just wanted to tell you Lemire and Sorrentino didn't just work on Green Arrow and Gideon Falls. They also did an Old man Logan run together a few years ago and it was pretty damn good!
I need to check that out!
Bolland used David Bowie as an inspiration for his Joker. If you look at pictures from the Diamond Dogs era it's super obvious.
I'm a huge Bowie fan and cant believe I never caught this.
I didn't notice it until Cartoonist Kayfabe covered Killing Joke a few months back.
I've read The Killing Joke and The Watchmen. I think The Killing Joke is solid but I do think it's kinda overrated. I don't consider it cream of the crop when it comes to Batman stories. The Watchmen, I've read all the way through and whilst I do appreciate certain aspects in the book, I had a hard time keeping engaged. I don't mind deconstructing characters and such since I do find that sorta stuff interesting but maybe Alan Moore's writing style isn't my cup of tea. Perhaps I should probably reread them at some point to see whether I change my stance on it. I do want to check out V For Vendetta and Swamp Thing as well. I do understand that he was a very revolutionary writer for his time and inspired those during his time as well as those that came after him.
All good man. Not every writer is gonna fit what you enjoy. I don't like Chris Ware's books but the man is praised in the industry.
Definitely read Swamp Thing, it's great! It's a dark deconstruction, but it's not cynical and actually quite optimistic.
@@HardcoverReviews Hey, it's all love man. This was a good video regardless, so keep it up. You've definitely made my backlog bigger and I mean that in the best way possible.
@@edwardgrierson1460 I went on holiday this summer, came across a book store which had a lot mangas and comics. They had Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and I read a bit of the first volume. It seemed quite promising and it could be the book from him that really resonates with me like that.
All of the ones you mentioned plus the first two arcs of the league of extraordinary gentlemen
One of his few books I have not read.
@@HardcoverReviews League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in fantastic, though the first book is far and away the best of the lot
My favorite from Alan Moore is Top Ten comics
Yeah TOP 10 is very UNDERRATED & over looked,the ABSOLUTE TOP 10 is not just my favourite absolute edition(I have 6 absolute editions)but it’s my favourite book full stop!It has TOP 10 1&2/SMAX & TOP 10 the 49ers,Gene Has art is truly AMAZING with an uncountable amount of background sight gags!Zander Cannons art for the SMAX mini series is VERY different & cartoonish but just as accomplished!TOP 10 showed a love for the superhero genre that I nvr even knew ‘Moore had,all three of them clearly had a blast creating TOP 10,that shows in every panel of every page!His best works(very different from favourite works)are Swamp Thing vol1-6,From Hell & Watchmen imo.That’s some trilogy
From hell is another honorable mention. But we can call it a Graphic Novel
Great video! Have u read Promethea by any chance? If yes, is it worth checking out? Thanks & keep up the good work!
alan moore comic books need u to come out of retirement and do a great new series
That Absolute Swamp Thing was pushed back twice from what I've seen. Looking forward to it.
where the hell is from hell?
Ladies, gentlmen & others 🤔🤔
