Alan Moore

Alan Moore was born November 18, 1953 in Northampton, England, an industrial town between London and Birmingham. The oldest son of brewery worker Ernest Moore and printer Sylvia Doreen, Moore's childhood and youth were influenced by the poverty of his family and their environment (as well as the eccentricities of his highly religious and superstitious grandmother). Moore married in 1974, eventually having two daughters.

Moore's early contributions were to Doctor Who Weekly and the famous science-fiction title 2000 AD, under which Moore created several popular series, such as The Ballad of Halo Jones, Skizz, and D.R. & Quinch. Moore then worked for Warrior, a British anthology magazine. It was on this title that Moore began two important series: Marvelman (known in the United States as Miracleman), a revisionist superhero series, and V For Vendetta, Moore's groundbreaking tale of the fight for freedom and dignity in a fascist and dystopian Britain, both of which earned him the British Eagle Awards for Best Comics Writer in 1982 and 1983.

In 1986 Moore finished Watchmen. This became the first comic book to be a recipient of the prestigious Hugo Award.

Later, Moore finished his run on Swamp Thing, completed the V For Vendetta storyline and wrote quite possibly the best Joker story ever in Batman: The Killing Joke.

Currently, Moore has his own imprint under which he's once again paving new territory with several new series: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tom Strong's Terrific Tales, Tomorrow Stories and Top Ten.

Alan Moore lives in Northampton, England.

Alles van Alan Moore

Samenvatting

Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted world s self-destruction. Alan Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium s top artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the late twentieth century. Book One begins with the story 'The Anatomy Lesson,' a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond. In this second collection, The Swamp Thing says goodbye to the illusion of his own humanity after learning that he is 100% plant, meets a crew of benevolent alien invaders inspired by the classic comic strip Pogo (also set in the swamp), and consummates his relationship with Abigail Arcane as only he could. The third volume is brimming with visceral horrors including underwater vampires, a werewolf with an unusual curse, the hideous madman called Nukeface. Best of all, this volume features the comics debut of John Constantine, Hellblazer, who launches Swamp Thing on a voyage of self-discovery that will take him from the darkest corners of America to the roots of his own long-hidden heritage. Volume four brings Swamp Thing s quest for self-discovery with the mystic John Constantine to its shattering conclusion. A harbinger of doom has been released with the sole charge of waking an evil beyond comprehension, and Swamp Thing, John Constantine, Deadman, The Phantom Stranger, Etrigan the Demon, The Spectre and other masters of the occult must unite against the dark forces that threaten to eradicate Heaven s light. The fifth volume begins as Swamp Thing returns from his sojourn to hell, only to learn that his girlfriend Abby is being persecuted for their 'unnatural relations.' When she skips town for Gotham City, he follows and runs afoul of Batman, Lex Luthor, and the Gotham City Police Department. The sixth and final volume collects Moore s entire run, reprinting issues #57-64 and features the classic stories 'Loving the Alien' and All Flesh is Grass.'

Het mooie aan deze editie is dat je eindelijk de hele saga als 1 product kan aankopen. Weet echter dat de kwaliteit ervan toch wel ondermaats is.

Vooral volume 2 van de 6 is huilen met de pet op. Van dat ruw bruinig gerecycleerd papier waar uiteraard alle kleuren enorm dof op zijn. Dit volume is het dikste van alle 6 en wellicht daarom hebben ze ervoor gekozen om deze door DC vertigo te laten printen terwijl de overige 5 welke van iets betere kwaliteit zijn door DC black label zijn geprint.

Ik ben geen verzamelaar dus ik kan er op zich best mee leven, hoewel ik beter had verwacht. Wil je echter het beste van het beste dan koop je beter de aparte volumes van 'Absolute Swamp Thing'. Maar dan betaal je uiteraard een veelvoud van deze...
