Alan Moore is an English writer most famous for his influential work in comics, including the acclaimed graphic novels Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. He has also written a novel, Voice of the Fire, and performs "workings" (one-off performance art/spoken word pieces) with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some of which have been released on CD.
As a comics writer, Moore is notable for being one of the first writers to apply literary and formalist sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson and Iain Sinclair; New Wave science fiction writers such as Michael Moorcock; horror writers such as Clive Barker; to the cinematic–filmmakers such as Nicolas Roeg. Influences within comics include Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby and Bryan Talbot.

关于《守望者》能谈的东西太多了。我只想说两个人物:堂吉诃德与哈姆莱特。《守望者》并没有这两个人物。可是世界上哪都有这两个人物,因为人们迟早都要回答同一个问题。 罗曼罗兰说“世界上只有一种英雄主义,就是认清生活的真相之后依然热爱生活。”只可惜《守望者...
评分上周末粗粗看了一遍,故事和设定大大超出我的预计。 所有的超级英雄,拥有的只是稍微超出常人的力量或者知识,也许把他们称为特种兵更适合一点。 他们不再忙于嫉恶如仇,除暴安良;而是被政府雇用了用于战争和治安。 他们相互之间有着不喜欢甚至憎恨,也有着爱情,甚至有着...

Has any comic been as acclaimed as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly only Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but Watchmen remains the critics' favorite. Why? Because Moore is a better writer, and Watchmen a more complex and dark and literate creation than Miller's fantastic, subversive take on the Batman myth. Moore, renowned for many other of the genre's finest creations (Saga of the Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, and From Hell, with Eddie Campbell) first put out Watchmen in 12 issues for DC in 1986-87. It won a comic award at the time (the 1987 Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards for Best Writer/Artist combination) and has continued to gather praise since.
The story concerns a group called the Crimebusters and a plot to kill and discredit them. Moore's characterization is as sophisticated as any novel's. Importantly the costumes do not get in the way of the storytelling; rather they allow Moore to investigate issues of power and control--indeed it was Watchmen, and to a lesser extent Dark Knight, that propelled the comic genre forward, making "adult" comics a reality. The artwork of Gibbons (best known for 2000AD's Rogue Trooper and DC's Green Lantern) is very fine too, echoing Moore's paranoid mood perfectly throughout. Packed with symbolism, some of the overlying themes (arms control, nuclear threat, vigilantes) have dated but the intelligent social and political commentary, the structure of the story itself, its intertextuality (chapters appended with excerpts from other "works" and "studies" on Moore's characters, or with excerpts from another comic book being read by a child within the story), the finepace of the writing and its humanity mean that Watchmen more than stands up--it keeps its crown as the best the genre has yet produced. --Mark Thwaite
这部电影告诉我们超级英雄的真相:不管是多么正当的理由,就算你如此坚持原则不妥协,哪怕你拥有创造整个宇宙的力量,你都不能改变人。每个人都需要牺牲某些东西,基于这样的理由,一些人被看作英雄,而另外一些则被看作恶棍。——Youtube网友
评分每个主要角色都有自己的哲学,人性如此矛盾,只有妥协才能生存?Veidt策划毁了半个纽约却因此阻止了wwIII拯救了全人类,太讽刺!看的第一本Graphic Novel,剧情太好了,画风什么的也就不重要了!
评分壮哉,手表侠!
