Alan Moore is a cantankerous mentally-unbalanced British anarchist-wizard who authored supposedly "epic shit" including From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lost Girls, V for Vendetta, Watchmen and Swamp Thing. While he is generally regarded by comic book nerds as the greatest writer ever, he has also been the center of lulzy incidents involving the debate of creator's rights and fistfights with other writers of the comic book media, particularly Frank Miller and Grant Morrison, who, interestingly enough, are writers of likewise batshit insane nature as him.
Also, if you are going to criticize Alan Moore's works in the Internet, be ready to be brutally assaulted by his horde of white-knight fans.
A Brief Resume of His Career
Moore already started out his career with mind-boggling works such as The Ballad of Halo Jones, which is about the bizarre misadventures of some chick in a dystopian future with her cyborg dog;Captain Britain, in which a British clone of Captain America fights against an insane English politician who can warp reality into a cesspool of non-sensical shit; and Marvelman (which was later changed for Miracleman because Marvel Comics threatened to sue the company of that comic for simply using the word Marvel), where he basically what would happen if Superman abused his powers to the extent he would cause a massive carnage. His breakthrough in the comic book industry finally came with V for Vendetta, in which he explored his controversial political views with the adventures of a terrorist that went around exploding buildings and killing fascists while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. This comic also spawned a generated of retards who believed that wearing a Guy Fawkes mask in public would make them feared by conservative fags just like Moore's hero.
Astonished with Moore's talent, DC Comics decided to hire him so he could use his mind-screwing stories in DC's iconic characters such as Superman, Batman and Swamp Thing. In 1986, Moore reached the peak of his career with Watchmen, which to this day is constantly mentioned by comic book geeks as the landmark of the comic books the source of countless unfunny memes featuring Watchmen character Rorscharch. However, Moore didn't have a chance to taste the success of his work, as eventually he would get in a messy dispute with DC for the ownership of Watchmen. Obviously, the sneaky jews DC are, Moore lost all the rights of his comic, which let him utterly bitter with the comic book industry in America. This didn't stop of releasing other works such as From Hell, but this time he was smart enough to publish them in minor companies that certainly wouldn't treat him as an expendable insane hippie.
Attitude to Moralfags
In 2009, London Anon member Drunk Jedi managed to corner Moore in Forbidden Planet and asked him how he felt about the EFG mask being used by various causes.
Being a gigantic egofag, Moore flounced self-importantly about how OBVIOUSLY he hates all the movies based on his work and weeps orphans' tears over every (or ever other) million dollars they make him, and how objectionable it was that Anon was using MOVIE LICENSED MERCHANDISE masks for their IRL raids.
What, does he want us all to look like this?
He did, however, admit pride at how his work had become a universally adopted symbol of the angry, anonymous body politic. This has been analysed by scientists at Lolledge U as both unspeakably faggy, and kind of cool.
