Promethea: Book 1 - Alan Moore

Alan Moore in general

people who police them. Funny, exciting and stuffed with in-jokes, it's often described as a super-powered version of Hill Street Blues. The only worry here is that Moore, who's working for DC apparently reluctantly, may have another disagreement with them that will cause his withdrawal. I really hope not. He's also written a pretty good prose novel, The Voice of the Fire, about Northampton's surprisingly varied history, and recorded a few CDs of his magical performance pieces (I've got one - The Highbury Working - good if you like that kind of thing, which I do, but probably a bit too strange to achieve mass appeal). There you go. Alan ...

Batman: Killing Joke - Alan Moore

What does it take to turn a sane man to madness? Could sanity be as flimsy as to crack completely after just one bad day? This is the question The Joker tries to answer in DC's The Killing Joke.
