Alan Moore (born 18 November 1953) is an English writer primarily known for his work in comic books including Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell. Frequently described as the best graphic novel writer in history, he has been called "one of the most important British writers of the last fifty years". He has occasionally used such pseudonyms as Curt Vile, Jill de Ray, Translucia Baboon and The Original Writer.
Moore started writing for British underground and alternative fanzines in the late 1970s before achieving success publishing comic strips in such magazines as 2000 AD and Warrior. He was subsequently picked up by the American DC Comics, and as "the first comics writer living in Britain to do prominent work in America", he worked on major characters such as Batman (Batman: The Killing Joke) and Superman (Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?), substantially developed the character Swamp Thing, and penned original titles such as Watchmen. During that decade, Moore helped to bring about greater social respectability for comics in the United States and United Kingdom. He prefers the term "comic" to "graphic novel". In the late 1980s and early 1990s he left the comic industry mainstream and went independent for a while, working on experimental work such as the epic From Hell, the pornographic Lost Girls, and the prose novel Voice of the Fire. He subsequently returned to the mainstream later in the 1990s, working for Image Comics, before developing America's Best Comics, an imprint through which he published works such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the occult-based Promethea.
His first collection of poems, Opia (1986) was a UK Poetry Book Society Choice, a distinction for a first collection. Michael Kenneally complimented Moore's creativity in Poetry in contemporary Irish Literature.
His second collection, How Now! (2010) was described as "a searingly autobiographical book which bears comparison with Paul Durcan's Daddy, Daddy," and "a fine cumulative portrait of growing up in Ireland." Another reviewer commented: "The deadpan, affectless tone of these childhood poems makes them all the more disturbing. Moore has no designs on the reader. The vignettes are presented in an almost forensic fashion, it is up to us to fill in the missing emotion, blanked by alcohol, repression, conformity." Two of Moore's poems were included in the Dublin Poetry and Places Anthology "If Ever You Go"
Educated by the Christian Brothers, he is a graduate of both University College Dublin (BA, English and Philosophy) and Trinity College Dublin (MBA). He worked in the Office of the Revenue Commissioners (on the drafting of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997) and in legal publishing before becoming a tax consultant and publisher. He is widely known for his regular articles in The Sunday Business Post, and is the author of the best-selling Tax Magic.
Moore was already active in the Birminghamrock, blues, folk and country scene, and played with numerous bands, including The Young Casuals, The Other Lot, The Outer Light, Gabriel Oak, Glad Stallion, Tendency Jones and Pendulum. He was first approached by guitarist K. K. Downing and bassist Ian Hill in 1971, and joined in the early and unofficial phase of the newborn Judas Priest for a period of about a year (during this time Al Atkins was still the vocalist). He left in 1972 to join the Birmingham country rock band, Sundance, with whom he recorded the album Rain, Steam, Speed (1974), and their single, "Coming Down".
In 1975, drummer John Hinch left Judas Priest, and Downing and Hill re-approached Moore. For the second time, Moore joined the band, making him the only drummer in the history of Judas Priest to have two separate stints. His first show after re-joining was in 1975.10.11 - Slough College, London, UK, during which guitarist/backing vocalist Glenn Tipton introduced "our new drummer Skip" who "only had a few hours of rehearsal". In 1976, they recorded the album Sad Wings of Destiny. Despite the success of the album, Moore decided to leave again, only this time permanently.
Alan Moore, born November 25, 1974 in Dublin, Ireland is a retired Irish footballer.
Club career
Moore moved to Derry City after a short spell without a club as he had left Shelbourne in January, 2007 when his contract was up.
His previous clubs included Burnley, Barnsley and Middlesbrough. During his time at Middlesbrough, he was once described as "the Ryan Giggs of the north-east".
Moore returned home to Ireland during the summer of 2004 and signed for Shelbourne where he had an immediate impact on the team. In the UEFA Champions League qualifiers he scored away to KR Reykjavik to help secure a 2–2 draw that would see the team progress on away goals and in the Second Round he scored a hat trick at home and scored away against Hajduk Split who Shelbourne knocked out 4–3 on aggregate. Shelbourne were eventually knocked out by Deportivo La Coruña in the last round before the group stages.
By the end of 2004, Moore had helped Shelbourne retain the League of Ireland Premier Division title for the first time. In 2006, Moore won another League of Ireland championship medal as the Dublin side pipped Derry City to the title on goal difference.
Moore was born in Melbourne in 1914. He began life drawing art classes at age 16, but was forbidden by his father from continuing because the subjects were nude. He took up his studies again when he turned 18, at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School, this time completing his studies to obtain a degree. He also studied under J.S. Watkins in Sydney.
He won several art and drawing prizes in Melbourne, including the Grace Joel scholarship prize in 1942 for a nude painting.
On 14 July 1939 Moore married this first wife, Maria.
Career
During the war
Moore enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1942, where he was tasked with drawing airplane diagrams. A problem with one leg prevented him from being aircrew. In late 1943, following recommendations from William Dargie and Harold Herbert, he was commissioned as an official war artist attached to the army, and given the rank of lieutenant.
06 - Drowning In Gold
It started life as Alan Moore's reading/performance piece in 1995 at the county courthouse in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, where it was sound-taped and subsequently released as a (very hard to obtain) CD. Recognized as Alan's writing at its very best, the work is by turns autobiographical and surreal. It takes us on an odyssey we can never undertake, a journey back into the womb and beyond, to the soul.
If you're having a hard time understanding what is being said I would recommend finding the same named comic which was drawn by Eddie Campbell after being inspired by the performance.

She sorts out her hair at the washroom of Preston services Dries her hands under a notice that says "have you seen this child?" And she nurses her tea for one hour in the cafeteria Watching the truck drivers blind their fried eggs with the cutlery And english murder it's all over her face Just waiting until the right time the wrong lay-by There'll be a photograph With a bad 1970's fringe and a look of uncertainty Years later you'll know the name but not where you know it from And they've emptied the terraced row with compulsory purchases Reasoning that they'd make more from the ground with the people gone And so he shuffles the half a mile to the nearest post office When lads push into the queue he pretends he's not noticed them And english murder it's all over his face A low enough cold snap a high enough gas bill You'll skim the epitaphs And you'll possibly notice his name like somebody's you knew from school There'll be an off the peg verse where sad has been rhymed with dad And the houses in which they've invested their city bonuses Have increased the property prices and therefore the homelessness The scabby grey anti climb paint and withdrawn amenities In case socialising promotes anti social behaviour And english murder it's all over the place The bunches of flowers in pedestrian precincts Your average sociopath at least kills With a hammer or brick not with greed and incompetence And after two or three years they'll express remorse
