"Alan Moore: Storyteller" is the first serious examination of the life, career and work of one of the UKs most distinctive and popular creative voices. It traces Moore's creative development from his modest contributions to Northampton Arts Lab fanzines and local newspaper strips to the very top of his field, writing some of the most widely read and critically acclaimed comics and graphic novels ever produced: "Swamp Thing", "Watchmen", "From Hell", "Lost Girls", "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "V for Vendetta". The book provides an unparalleled insight into the mind and work of this enigmatic and at times controversial creator.
