Dieser Band von Gary Spencer Millidge über Alan Moore wird von Paul Gravett über den Klee gelobt und führt die Liste seiner Vorschläge an. Könnte direkt das Zeug zu einem Standardwerk über den merkwürdigen Mann aus Northampton haben:

Alan Moore: Storyteller by Gary Spencer Millidge
Universe / Ilex Press , $45.00 / £25

The publisher says:
The definitive book on Alan Moore, renowned as one of the most important talents in contemporary comics and graphic novels, and his trailblazing works of visual storytelling. Alan Moore is one of the most important creative forces in the history of comics. Drawing on new and unpublished interviews, as well as rarely seen art and photos, this is the first book on his work to have Moore’s cooperation and support. Alan Moore: Storyteller is a survey of his expansive work, from his high-profile best sellers to rarely seen experimental projects, such as spoken word and performance art. Individual works are richly illustrated from Moore’s personal archives and paired with critical context. An audio CD will feature excerpts from some of Moore’s multimedia performances and songs.

Paul Gravett says:
While we wait for Gary Spencer Millidge to resume and conclude his sterling suspenseful mystery Strangehaven, I am sure that he will prove to be an ideal, insightful biographer of the Bearded Bard of Northampton. After all, he has already created a brilliant comic-strip life-story of Moore for the introduction to Alan Moore: Portrait of An Extraordinary Gentleman, the 352-page anthology of essays and tributes which he co-edited with Smoky Man and published himself in 2003. This is sure to be a revelatory read, one of the essential books about comics, and storytelling in its multiple forms, to be published this year.
