Alan Moore

    18 november 1953

    Alan Moore is een Engelse schrijver die gevierd wordt om zijn invloedrijke bijdragen aan het stripboekmedium. Hij was een pionier in het toepassen van literaire en formalistische gevoeligheden op mainstream strips, waarbij hij uitdagende onderwerpen en volwassen thema's integreerde. Moore put uit een breed scala aan invloeden, van literatuur en film tot andere stripauteurs, om verhalen te creëren die de grenzen van het medium verleggen. Zijn werk staat bekend om het verkennen van complexe menselijke toestanden en maatschappelijke kwesties met een onderscheidende artistieke visie.

    • From Robert Johnson to Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson to John Lee Hooker, blues and gospel artists figure heavily in the mythology of twentieth-century culture. The styles in which they sang have proved hugely influential to generations of popular singers, from the wholesale adoptions of singers like Robert Cray or James Brown, to the subtler vocal appropriations of Mariah Carey. Their own music, and how it operates, is not, however, always seen as valid in its own right. This book provides an overview of both these genres, which worked together to provide an expression of twentieth-century black US experience. Their histories are unfolded and questioned; representative songs and lyrical imagery are analysed; perspectives are offered from the standpoint of the voice, the guitar, the piano, and also that of the working musician. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact the genres have had on mainstream musical culture.

      From the subterranean depths of comics' most innovative mind comes a supremely deranged duo. Alan Moore (Watchmen, Promethea) and Alan Davis (Captain Britain, X-Men) are proud (and should be ashamed) to present D.R. & Quinch. Outrageous, unrestrained and heavily armed, college students D.R. & Quinch gleefully provide irredeemably poor role-modelling for today's youth. Comes complete with tips on death, extremely painful death and the art of total destruction. Wildly offensive tales of alien slime wars, deranged disaster movies, psychotic girlfriends and warped war veterans make for a volatile mix of malicious mayhem and deeply dark humour. Totally intense, man!

Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.

      In 1949 London, hapless second-hand bookseller Dennis accidentally discovers a novel that defies existence, originating from The Great When, a magical shadow-London where reality intertwines with fiction. In this extraordinary realm, concepts like Crime and Poetry manifest as mystical beings roaming the streets. Dennis's find opens a perilous doorway between the two Londons, threatening to expose The Great When's secrets. As he navigates the city's occult underbelly, he encounters sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers—some imaginary, some disturbingly real—each with their own agendas. With time running out, Dennis must return the book and close the gate, or face dire consequences. The collision of history and magic unfolds in a darkly humorous, propulsive narrative that challenges the boundaries of fantasy. Esteemed authors praise this genre-busting tale, highlighting its ability to reveal new perspectives and the complex truths of identity and history. Alan Moore's masterful storytelling peels back layers of London, showcasing both its dark and beautiful realities, ensuring neither London will ever be the same again.

Tying up the slenderest of plot threads and allusions from the three preceding volumes, The Black Dossier, and the Nemo trilogy into a dazzling and ingenious bow, the world's most accomplished and bad-tempered artist-writer team use their most stylistically adventurous outing yet to display the glories of the medium they are leaving; to demonstrate the excitement that attracted them to the field in the first place; and to analyse, critically and entertainingly, the reasons for their departure."-- Amazon

      Alan Moore, the best-selling graphic novelist of all time, delivers an original dystopian fairy tale set against the backdrop of nuclear winter. Alan Moore’s 1985 time-lost screenplay written with Malcolm McLaren (Sex Pistols) is finally brought to life as a graphic novel. Doll was unfulfilled in her life as a coat checker of a trendy club. But when she is fired from the job and auditions to become a “mannequin” for a reclusive designer, the life of glamour she always imagined is opened before her. She soon discovers that the house of Celestine is as dysfunctional as the clothing that define the classes of this dystopian world. And she soon discovers that the genius of the designer is built upon a terrible lie that has influence down to the lowliest citizen. This unique retelling of Beauty and the Beast was written in 1985 alongside Alan Moore’s comics redefining work on Watchmen. Beautifully illustrated by Facundo Perico (Anna Mercury) and meticulously adapted by Antony Johnston (Yuggoth Cultures), this is another entry in the graphic novel masterworks library by Alan Moore.
