A famous comic book writer.
Some of his more famous works:
From Hell
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the comic is awesome)
The Watchmen
Swamp Thing (when it was good)
I advice anybody who likes comics to read the Watchmen. By far the single greatest comic I've ever read. By far.

Musician?
Funny, I had no idea.
I saw the movie for LOEG
which do you think was better, the book or the movie?
Quote from: MalaulI saw the movie for LOEG
which do you think was better of you saw the movie too??
Though I have no idea what that question means, I'll try to answer it. The movie was ho-hum and a big misrepresentation of the comic, but Mr. Connery does manage to capture the spirit of the womanizing Alan Quartermain.
1. They cheesed up Mina Harker.
2. They added Dorian Gray just so there could be a silly love interest angle.
3. Tom Sawyer was thrown in, and doesnt make any sense.
4. The comic is dialogue driven and based arround the characters all taking shots at one another, the movie was action driven.
The comic is way better. On the other hand, a good comic to movie translation was From Hell, another Alan Moore joint.
to 18BS, I edited that question of mine , I hadnt worded it very well had i?
I answered your question didnt I?
It was just confusing, thats all.
And don't forget Yuggoth Cultures. That's a new one, I think, and quite quite fun.
