Alan Moore, Out from the Underground

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Alan Moore's multifaceted career, the book examines how his roles as a poet, illustrator, musician, and playwright influenced his work as a cartoonist. It traces his journey from the underground comix scene of the 1970s to the punk-infused commercial music press, highlighting the impact of performance on his comics and their political implications. By referencing Bertolt Brecht's blend of political dissent and experimental art, the text offers insights into the visual and material aspects of comics, as well as the performance and politics involved in their creation and interpretation.
