Alan Moore (born November 18, 1953) is an English comics writer from Northampton, widely considered one of the most influential figures in the history of comics. His work transformed the medium and helped establish the term “graphic novel” in popular culture.

Moore’s career breakthrough came with his 1982 reinvention of Marvelman (Miracleman in the US), followed by his acclaimed run on Swamp Thing for DC Comics. Watchmen (1986-87), his deconstruction of the superhero genre with artist Dave Gibbons, won the Hugo Award and remains one of the most celebrated works in comics history.

After disputes with DC over merchandising and editorial control, Moore left the company and later founded America’s Best Comics, where he created The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the occult-themed Promethea. He is also an occultist and ceremonial magician, themes that appear throughout his later work.
