The Extraordinary Works Of Alan Moore (Paperback) by George Khoury (Author), Alan Moore (Author), Neil Gaiman (Author)
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
Including work by Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Rick Veitch, and Alex Ross.
Product Description In The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore, the reclusive British author tells his own story, speaking enthusiastically and passionately about his life and work in an extensive series of interviews! Moore displays his trademark wit and shares his unique insight on the comics that have shaped his legendary career—from his beginnings on Swamp Thing and Watchmen to the current success of his own America's Best Comics and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and beyond – all of his most important works and major themes are discussed.
Editor George (Kimota!) Khoury has assembled rare strips, scripts, artwork and photographs of the author, most never published before.
It also features Moore’s closest collaborators elaborating on their relationships with Moore in comic book form, from Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, and Sam Kieth to Kevin O’Neill, Brian Bolland, Rick Veitch, and others, plus an artistic tribute by Alex Ross, and a new cover by Dave McKean! Included are the rare Moore stories "Pictopia," "Lust," his unseen work on Judge Dredd, and more! ! This is the definitive autobiographical work on Moore, over two years in the making!
Moore reflects on his life and work in an insightful and candid fashion through an extensive series of interviews about his entire legendary career, including new interviews.
Khoury marks Alan Moore's exalted status in the comics world on the occasion of Moore's fiftieth birthday. The centerpiece of the volume is a lengthy interview with the reclusive writer, touching upon everything from his early days as an aspiring comics fan to his recently announced retirement from mainstream comics. More compelling, perhaps, is the bounty of rare material reprinted here, ranging from strips a teenaged Moore wrote--and drew (!)--for the British music press to obscure stories, photographs, and examples of his famously detailed scripts. Tributes from some of Moore's most renowned friends and collaborators, including Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Rick Veitch, and Alex Ross, round out the text, and a comprehensive bibliography of Moore's work should delight collectors even as it makes them despair of ever acquiring all the prolific writer's publications. This celebration of comics' most acclaimed author should prove exhaustive enough to satisfy even the most obsessed of Moore's legion of fans.
Kingdom Come Graphic Novel STARRING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA IN THE FINAL SUPERHERO BATTLES TO END ALL SUPERHERO BATTLES. THE MOST EPIC SUPERHERO STORY OF ALL TIME.
MILLENNIUM EDITION COMIC BOOK.
RARE AND OUT OF PRINT! THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES FEATURING FULLY PAINTED ART BY ALEX ROSS!
This is a VARIANT edition with a special gold foil "DC COMICS MILLENNIUM EDITION" seal on the cover.
Kicks off what is arguably the greatest JUSTICE LEAGUE tale ever told. The story of the final days of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and armies of DC superheroes as they choose sides against each other for the fate of the Earth!
Kingdom Come, replete with grand storytelling and biblical prophecy, takes place in the near future when Superman has retired and a new, ruthlessly violent generation of "heroes" has corrupted the Earth, their questionable deeds culminating in the destruction of Kansas. The basic story revolves around the retirement of the older generation of superheroes and the rise of a new generation that doesn't have the same moral compass. Superman has retired to a farm after he becomes disillusioned with humans' supporting the flashier but less ethical metahumans, and now Wonder Woman has come to ask him to get involved again and help tame the out of control new generation. Batman and Superman renew an old animosity, and hundreds of superheroes join in the conflict, especially in the climactic battle between the different generations of Superheroes.
Probably the most beautiful graphic novel ever seen. Alex Ross' art is matched by a strong story which contrasts the eternal qualities of legendary heroes like Superman and Wonderwoman with the moral ambiguities of a rapidly changing world.
Series about the future of the JUSTICE LEAGUE. The main story line centers around the newly returned Superman and the Justice League in thier attempt to control the growing population of new superheroes. Under the surface the book is also about the silver age of comics against the the "modern age."
Superman must confront the ultra-violent world of super-beings spawned since his retirement in one of the most popular miniseries of the 1990s. Recalling the debut of KINDOM COME, retailer Roger Ash of Westfield Comics in Middleton, WI, notes that "Waid and Ross combined their talents in a project that's as stunning now as it was when I first read it."
Includes an introduction by DC Comics Publisher Paul Levitz and insight into the production and development of the series by Robert Greenberger.

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM FEATURING THE SCIENCE NINJA TEAM GATCHAMAN.
For Fans of Gatchaman AKA Battle of the Planets AKA G-Force AKA Eagle Force!
BATTLE OF THE PLANETS: MARK #1
Colonel Cronus is a famous war hero whose aerial prowess is world renown. Mark, the leader of G-Force, idolizes Cronus while simultaneously hating his own father for abandoning him. But no one is perfect and there are secrets that even our heroes hide ? even men as great as Colonel Cronus.
focuses on the leader of the G-Force Team, Mark. Ever the vigilante watchdog and commander of the team, Mark has long been the star of this longstanding team story. First envisioned as a Japanese anime show in the mid-70s, Gatchaman, or Battle of the Planets as it is known in the States, is the story of five teenaged heroes handpicked and trained to repel the evil alien invaders known as Spectra. Classic action follows this story of Mark on one of his few days off that happens to go sour and he becomes involved in an international intrigue. At the root of the story, however, is a tale of a father and son that are estranged from one another and the pain they feel for that absence. With a stunning cover painting by Alex Ross (Kingdom Come), this is a great one–shot for Gatchaman fans worldwide.
BATTLE OF THE PLANETS: JASON #1
"HELL" tells of Jason's plunge into the deadly underground world of contract killers. Using a false identity Jason most pose as a hired assassin in order to find vital information about Devil Star, Spectra's elite all female hit squad. The very killers responsible for Jason' worst nightmare come true, the brutal murder of his parents.
This companion comic to Battle of the Planets: Mark features the second-in–command of the G–Force team. Jason is the Han Solo to team–leader Mark’s Luke Skywalker; he’s a rebel, a hot head, and a crack shot. This one-shot story finds Jason on a mission of vengeance, seeking to destroy those responsible for the death of his parents. The book reveals Jason’s motivations as a member of G-Force and in doing so gives readers an insight into the shocking similarities that he shares with Mark, who throughout the long history of Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman in Japan) has been played as Jason’s complete opposite. On its own the book is entertaining, but read in conjunction with its mirror image, the two books add depth and resonance to a relationship with a lot of history in comics, film and television. Added Bonus: an Alex Ross painted cover!
BATTLE OF THE PLANETS: PRINCESS #1
Her name is Princess, and for her G-Force teammates, she's been the group's caretaker, warrior and sometimes leader. But now she'll need to play ALL of those roles as she embarks on her greatest and most dangerous mission?taking on a new and deadly force from Spectra...ALONE.
The classic anime series returns with a new storyline focusing on the lone female protagonist. Princess is a member of G-Force, a team of genetically enhanced teenagers who have spent their youth training to save Earth from alien attackers. But interplanetary enemies seem far away as Princess visits a remote Himalayan village to study its mysterious idol. Instead she finds a city in ruins and robot charioteers rampaging, with her fellow G-Force members half a world away.
