Happy 61st Birthday Alan Moore!
Alan Moore is special in the world of comics. Not only
is he an amazing writer, but it can be said that he has influenced
virtually every writer in mainstream comics since he started writing in the
early 80’s. He's actually changed the medium he works in. What makes his work so special? In what ways has the medium changed
as a result of his influence? These things I'd like to discuss in celebration
of this incredible mage's 61st birthday.
Happy Birthday Magus!
Alan Moore,
Born 18 November 1953
