Alan Oswald Moore (born 18 November 1953) is an English writer primarily known for his work in comic books, a medium where he has produced a number of critically acclaimed and popular series, including Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell. Frequently described as the best graphic novel writer in history, he has also been described as "one of the most important British writers of the last fifty years". He has occasionally used such pseudonyms as Curt Vile, Jill de Ray, and Translucia Baboon.
Moore started out writing for British underground and alternative fanzines in the late 1970s before achieving success publishing comic strips in such magazines as 2000 AD and Warrior. He was subsequently picked up by the American DC Comics, and as "the first comics writer living in Britain to do prominent work in America", he worked on big name characters such as Batman (Batman: The Killing Joke) and Superman (Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?), substantially developed the minor character Swamp Thing, and penned original titles such as Watchmen. During that decade, Moore helped to bring about greater social respectability for the medium in the United States and United Kingdom, and has subsequently been credited with the development of the term "graphic novel" over "comic book". In the late 1980s and early 1990s he left the comic industry mainstream and went independent for a while, working on experimental work such as the epic From Hell, pornographic Lost Girls, and the prose novel Voice of the Fire. He subsequently returned to the mainstream later in the 1990s, working for Image Comics, before developing America's Best Comics, an imprint through which he published works such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the occult-based Promethea.

Genres: Drama, Short,She sorts out her hair at the washroom of Preston services
Dries her hands under a notice that says "have you seen this child?"
And she nurses her tea for one hour in the cafeteria
Watching the truck drivers blind their fried eggs with the cutlery
And english murder it's all over her face
Just waiting until the right time the wrong lay-by
There'll be a photograph
With a bad 1970's fringe and a look of uncertainty
Years later you'll know the name but not where you know it from
And they've emptied the terraced row with compulsory purchases
Reasoning that they'd make more from the ground with the people gone
And so he shuffles the half a mile to the nearest post office
When lads push into the queue he pretends he's not noticed them
And english murder it's all over his face
A low enough cold snap a high enough gas bill
You'll skim the epitaphs
And you'll possibly notice his name like somebody's you knew from school
There'll be an off the peg verse where sad has been rhymed with dad
And the houses in which they've invested their city bonuses
Have increased the property prices and therefore the homelessness
The scabby grey anti climb paint and withdrawn amenities
In case socialising promotes anti social behaviour
And english murder it's all over the place
The bunches of flowers in pedestrian precincts
Your average sociopath at least kills
With a hammer or brick not with greed and incompetence
And after two or three years they'll express remorse
