Few comic book writers are as widely respected as Alan Moore, the author of several groundbreaking graphic novels, including Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell, all of which have actually been turned into blockbuster movies. Moore is known for his dark themes and the moral ambiguity of his characters.
Comic books play an essential role during adolescence by providing children with role models, in the form of superheroes, who teach them the difference between right and wrong. But ethics aside, comic books also represent a unique (and distinctly American) form of art and creative expression.
This website is devoted entirely to the creative aspect of comic books and the talented people who illustrate them. Here, comic book fans will find a wealth of material on this remarkable artistic medium, from the first appearance of Superman in 1938 to the post-modern superheroes (and supervillains) of today.
