chloekg's review against another edition

This collection alternates between delightfully enriching and aggravatingly dull. It took me some two-hundred odd pages to recognize that a third of the tributes are thoughtful analyses of Moore's work, and the rest are self-aggrandizing recollections of, "When I was a young lad reading comics, Alan Moore had an impact on me." I'm not here to read about you, comic man; I'm here to read about Alan Moore. After realizing this dichotomy, skipping entries tremendously increased my enjoyment. It's a quirky little piece of unusual media with an excellent conclusion.

Basically, if you are an Alan Moore fan then you need to read this book. If you have an interest in comics and how to elevate them above the children's pulp that they have always been in the US an UK then you need to read this. If you have no idea how good comics can be, and how much thought goes into them, then you need to read this book. One of the pre-eminent writers of his generation, Moore has revolutionised the comics and created some of the best fiction of the last thirty years.

A giant, beautiful, and very well done book on Moore's life and work. It works as an occasionally-browsed coffee table book, or as a reference for specific works.
