One of my favorites artist is Alan Moore. Alan Moore is a comic writer born November 1953 in Northampton, England. Is one of the most important comic writers of the history, producing famous novels like V for Vendetta, Fron Hell, Watchmen and participating on famous titles like Green Lantern, Superman and Batman.

Alan Moore in the childhood was a prodigious reader, since the five years is started to read novel and comic books, make of this an advance child on his class. Then, Moore was transferred to the Northampton  Grammar School. That’s was his first contact with the high class people. This caused in Moore a shock to see the difference in the education of this Childs. After that, Moore lost interest in the academic education and a formal training. He says: “covert curriculum" being taught that was designed to indoctrinate children with "punctuality, obedience and the acceptance of monotony"

In the 60, Moore star to publishing own poetry and fanzines, added to a arts lab and his first experiences with the LSD.  Moore describes his self like the "one of the world's most inept LSD dealers". For this, Moore was expelled of this school in the 70’.

The most famous period of the work of Alan Moore is in the 80’. In this, he published the most important works of his carrer like a comic writer, overall in the middle of the 80’ whe hi stard to work on DC Comics. Here Moore worked in titles like V for Vendetta (1982), Superman:  Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? (1986) , Batman: The Killing Joke (1988), Wachtmen (1986), Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual 2, etc…

The most important feature of his work is the “pitch dark” of his stories and the re-configuration of the Superheroes perspective, giving that more profundity to the personality of the characters and to the scripts, this really like cause marks the beginning of a new era of the comic books, with another writers like Frank Miller and give a important legacy to he new generation of comic writers and reader.
