Re: Is Alan Moore the greatest comics writer ever?
[ QUOTE ] Still, none of the above writers have managed to master the one issue masterpiece, Denny O'Neil owns that category. [/ QUOTE ] I dunno man...claremont is pretty important.. no one compares when it comes to serialized writing (as in loooong runs, 100s of issues). sure, his novels weren't so hot ... though, the one… -
Re: Is Alan Moore the greatest comics writer ever?
I think Alan Moore IS one of the greatest comics writers. Keeping in mind that he has actually created very little from scratch, I think his greatest work comes when he re-interprets existing material (i.e. The Watchmen were originally based on the old Charlton characters) What I think he does best is bring new and… -
Is Alan Moore the greatest comics writer ever?
Exactly like the subject says - is Alan Moore the greatest writer of comics to grace us with his stories? Sure, Miller and Morrison and Dillon and Gaimen are superb, but I was going through my collection this weekend and turned up amongst other things: The Watchmen Tom Strong V for Vendetta The League of Extraordinary… -
Re: Is Alan Moore the greatest comics writer ever?
Hm. So if I was to wander along to the comic store with $50 or so, what would I be wanting to lay my money on? The only graphic novels I've ever really gotten a hold of are a couple of issues of Sin City that I picked up after the movie and some really horrible comics that my dad bought me for a long car trip when I was… -

Often they are writer too. my three favorite comics of all time are: 1. The Adventures of… -

Re: Is Alan Moore the greatest comics writer ever?
I have a signed copy of Stray Bullets #1, David Lampham was at a local comic shop when I was like 12 and my dad bought it for me, woohoo! Pretty hardcore reading for a 12 year old, kinda scared me -

[ QUOTE ] I'd have to throw Claremont in that mix of great writers somewhere. [/ QUOTE ] Chris Claremont? His (non-comic) books are garbage! Come now, he doesn't really rate with the big dogs of writing. -
Re: Is Alan Moore the greatest comics writer ever?
Yes, without a doubt he is. But, he also falls into that category of "why is he writing comics anyway, he should just be writing!" I'd have to throw Claremont in that mix of great writers somewhere. Still, none of the above writers have managed to master the one issue masterpiece, Denny O'Neil owns that category.
