Alan Moore is the prolific and perennially popular comics' author behind titles such as Watchmen, The Killing Joke, V for Vendetta and From Hell. 'Alan Moore Knows the Score', as Pop Will Eat Itself sang. For over twenty years, from early work on 2000AD and Warrior to today, as the writer of From Hell and the America's Best Comics line, Moore has stretched the boundaries of the comics' medium.

Moore is prolific and his work crosses genre boundaries like few others, ranging from farce and high comedy to the dark, grim work that epitomised the comics revolution of the late eighties. This book examines recurring themes and how Moore's work has evolved over the years.
