Comics by Alan Moore
Top Ten
Issues 01 - 12
Continuing his exploration of superhero comics, Moore speculates on what would happen if an expansion in the number of people who are able to develop their desires into super powers led to the creation ofNeopolis. His world is populated by superbeings: people (and animals,space aliens, robots, etc.) who have extraordinary abilities and secret identities. Basic human nature leads to an urban society resembling today’s, including the need to maintain law and order among thesometimes barely controllable super beings. Based on that premise, overlapping, intertwined stories create a kind of skewed Hill Street Blues for the cops of Top 10, the police station in Neopolis. Sometimes their cases work out farcically, but sometimes very seriously. Afterall, Moore asks, if you could do almost anything, what limits would you accept? What kind of responsibility would you take for others? Most comics series are intended to be endless, so nothing changes much from issue to issue. That’s not so in this case; Book One is necessary reading before picking up Book Two. The art helps this purpose. Much of today’s manga-influenced comics art is designed to convey excitement, using motion at the expense of detail. The artwork here reverts to an older tradition of elaborate pen and ink text illustration (like Joseph Clement Coll’s work), slowing readers down just enough to make them alert to the elegant details of the world Moore has created. Anyone interested in comics should be paying attention to Moore and this outstanding example of his recent thinking.

Alan Moore’s Supreme October 20, 2005
Posted by BDcomics in : Comics ,
The Supreme comic book series was started in 1992 by Rob Liefeld. One of Image Comics’ founding members, Rob created many titles for the publisher, including this, his own version of Superman. The title continued under various writers and artists (all under the Liefled art influence) until issue 41. British comic book writer Alan Moore took over the title from then onwards, and reintroduced the characters as if starting the series from fresh. The series under Moore’s direction featured ‘flashback’ chapters: introducing the rich and varied history of the character that Alan Moore had created for Supreme. The series gained critical and some sales success: it continued with the same team after Liefeld moved all of his titles to his own publishing house… twice! Eventually, in 1998, the comic market suffered a slowdown, and Liefeld as a publisher had run out of finances. All of the titles were suspended, and despite a short lived revival a year later the character’s last adventures appeared in 2000.
