  <about><![CDATA[Alan Moore is an English writer most famous for his influential work in comics, including the acclaimed graphic novels &lt;i&gt;Watchmen, V for Vendetta&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;From Hell&lt;/i&gt;. He has also written a novel, &lt;i&gt;Voice of the Fire&lt;/i&gt;, and performs &quot;workings&quot; (one-off performance art/spoken word pieces) with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some of which have been released on CD.

As a comics writer, Moore is notable for being one of the first writers to apply literary and formalist sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson and Iain Sinclair, New Wave science fiction writers like Michael Moorcock and horror writers like Clive Barker–to the cinematic–filmmakers like Nicolas Roeg. Influences within comics include Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby and Bryan Talbot.
