	Alan is the boss. Watchmen, From Hell and V for Vendetta all blew me away. In fact, even my girlfriend was hooked on From Hell. Reading Moore was the point where I said - okay, I've always loved comics, I've always loved novels, but in different ways. But here is a graphic novel that stands up there with any "proper" novel. There's no difference between the two formats in my mind now. Anyone else a fan of his work...? -----signature----- http://boards.outerrimsieges.com/index.php

	I’ve only read V for Vendetta and Watchmen, and there’s no question the latter secures Moore’s claim to greatness. Time Magazine picked Watchmen as one of the 100 best English language novels, and I can’t agree more that the work’s place is rightfully deserved on such a list.

	The Killing Joke That is all. The man is a genius.

	Watchmen was by far the best thing he has written, followed closely by The Killing Joke. I still read my trade paperback of Watchmen from time to time. Speaking of Watchmen, has anyone picked up the new Absolute Watchmen bokk? I heard its basicaly the same as the slipcase edition that came out in the late 1980's with some additional material. -----signature----- MEPA http://www.mepa-nyc.com G'Kar - "There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom" Sic Semper Tyrannis Veni Vidi Vici The Revolution Has Begun
