[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 2940504, member: 40123"] Well as mentioned before by numerous people here, anything written by Alan Moore is worth a look and oftentimes well worth the purchase. If you're looking for his traditional superhero stuff, check out the [I]Across the Universe: the DC Universe stories of Alan Moore[/I] trade paperback from DC. It collects a number of the stories he wrote for various DC titles, the highlight of which is the Superman story "For the Man who has Everything", which was later adapted into animated form in an episode of [I]Justice League Unlimited[/I]. Another one to look out for is his run on the Image comic [I]Supreme[/I], which basically takes what was intially a lame Superman ripoff by Rob Liefeld, and turns it into a affectionate and entertaining homage to the Silver Age version of the Man of Steel. His run on Supreme is collected in two volumes, [I]Story of the Year[/I] and [I]The Return[/I]. And of course, as [B]Filby [/B] mentioned, there's Moore's legendary run on [I]Swamp Thing[/I], probably his most famous work for DC Comics after [I]Watchmen[/I]. Though the comic does feature occasional cameos from DC heroes, it's more of a horror fantasy comic than anything. The way he took this titile and made it his own was just incredible. The run on Swamp Thing is collected in 6 volumes under DC's Vertigo label, all of which I own and read again and again. :D [/QUOTE]
