The Genre-Shattering Fictions of Alan Moore
'Few comic-book writers previous or current may match Moore’s subversive
mythmaking (and unmaking) or the piercing psychological plangency he
delivered to a subject that was extensively derided as disposable
nonsense. With the assistance of some contemporaries (Artwork
Spiegelman, Frank Miller, Michael Zulli), Moore helped elevate comics
from the depths of the sub-zeitgeist to the stratosphere of literature.
His genre-shattering work is a part of the explanation that superheroes
have saturated our cultural panorama — ironic, contemplating that Moore
has been some of the unsparing critics of superhero narratives and the
customarily septic politics that undergird them. "
