Alan Moore is arguably the greatest
literary mind of our time. His graphic novels, most notably the
classic Watchmen, are
unparalleled. However, Moore is also a noted beard enthusiast and
crazy person. He's sort of a reclusive mad genius, producing
brilliant works of art and hiding from the spotlight. Moore's novels
have inspired a number of film interpretations. From Hell,
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Watchmen, and
V for Vendetta are all
based on Moore's work. Moore has always disowned the film versions of
his stories regardless of public opinion or how good they actually
are. V for Vendetta
is, in my opinion, the best movie version of a story written by Alan
Moore and it has taken on life of its own.
