A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Alan Moore is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the graphic
story medium, having garnered countless awards for works such as
WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, From Hell, Miracleman and SWAMP THING. He
is also the mastermind behind the America's Best Comics line,
through which he has created (along with many talented
illustrators) THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, PROMETHEA, TOM
STRONG, TOMORROW STORIES and TOP 10. As one of the medium's most
important innovators since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an
entire generation of comics creators, and his work continues to
inspire an ever-growing audience. Moore resides in central
England.
After making his professional debut in 1975, artist Brian Bolland
perfected his clean-line style and meticulous attention to detail
on a series of popular strips for the British comics magazine 2000
AD, most notably its signature feature Judge Dredd. He went on to
illustrate the 12-issue maxiseries CAMELOT 3000 and the Alan
Moore-written graphic novel BATMAN- THE KILLING JOKE for DC before
shifting his focus to work almost exclusively on cover
illustrations. Since then, he has earned a reputation as one of the
best cover artists in the industry, and his elegantly composed and
beautifully rendered pieces have graced a host of titles, including
ANIMAL MAN, BATMAN, THE FLASH, THE INVISIBLES, WONDER WOMAN and
many more.
"...a genuinely chilling portrayal of Batman's greatest foe."
--Booklist "Easily the greatest Joker story ever told, Batman: The
Killing Joke is also one of Alan Moore's finest works." --IGN "I
loved The Killing Joke...It's my favorite. It's the first comic
I've ever loved."
--Tim Burton
