ⓘ About Alan Moore
Alan Moore is a widely renowned writer best known for his work on some of the best comic book titles and graphic novels in the industry. +Biography Even if you have never heard of Alan Moore, you have most likely come across some of his works, this including Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Moore was born in 1953 in Northampton, England. Moore’s life was hardly an easy one. His father a brewery worker and his mother a printer, Moore lived in a neighborhood that lacked those basic facilities most people take for granted. As such, his childhood was one of poverty. Moore’s grandmother played a critical role in his life. She was very religious and highly superstitious, and her influence on Alan Moore’s life was imminent because she lived with them.
