What is the best story written by Alan Moore. In my opinion "For the man who has everything" is one of the best.

I think Killing Joker is the best story by alan moore...because the Joker is the best comic book character:)

watchmen will always be perfect

'Watchmen' has the best plot but 'V For Vandetta' has stronger and deeper charecters, for me, it's a tie.

Best concept by Alan Moore is, definetly, 'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen'

Promethea - hugely complicated esoteric systems re: kaballah & tarot rendered intelligible for simpletons like me.

From Hell - although V does come close.

TOugh one I would say tie between Watchmen and The Killing Joke. I love them both oh and What Ever whappend to the man of Tomorrow was good too. So I don't know. theres V for Vendetta as well. Ah I would say tie between Watchmen and The Killing Joke

From Hell for me.

Ye Gods! How can you choose between V fr Vendetta and the Miracleman books and some of the Swamp Thing stories? It's like choosing a favourite son or daughter. Must I? OK, V for Vendetta -- it's the book I feel compelled to reread the most often.

Watchmen. The others are great, but Watchmen is complete and totally convincing.

the Green Lantern story "Tygers" one of my favorites.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1 &2 - shows such great depth of knowledge about the popular books of that era - wonderfully drawn - & great, complex, repulsive characters

Appalling that volume 3 is not available in the UK

Oh, I have to mention DR & Quinch - which, as a teenager, I adored (& still do)

Its got to be a swamp thing story but im not pinning it down to just one story though, the entire arc of six trade paperbacks is the best story written by Moore.
Comics rarely ever get any better than this.

Watchmen is the work of a genius!

for me it was most definitely Promethea -- the idea of promethea as a character is so ingenious. one becomes a part of the story so much that it impersonates it and delves into all the archetypes psychic connections, chances, inciting incidents and then the end--the way any story flows.

Choosing between Watchmen, V for Vendetta and the Killing Joke is too hard for me...
All 3 are awsome and will remain as 20th century greatest comics... forever!

I agree with Bob, Tygers is one of my favorite. I also enjoyed "The Blackest night" and "Mogo doesn`t socialize" ( The 3 of them are Tales of the Green Lantern Corps)

There will always be a special place in my heart for Marvelman/Miracleman, which I feel to be almost the perfect superhero story. Back in the mid 80's, when it was being reprinted by Eclipse, I had the great fortune to meet Alan at The House On The Borderlands. He signed a bunch of stuff for me, as I was and still am a BIG fan, but it was the ongoing story arc of Michael Moran that had me almost literally beating the door down for the next installment. It might sound a little sycophantic, but it was an honour to read and be involved in the storytelling process. Good bloke!

Night Olympics is my favorite.

I got The Complete Alan Moore Future Shocks TPB about 4 months ago, and even that rocked my socks off. Everything the guy touches turns to gold. But as for the best thing he's written? Right now I'm really loving the whole ABC Comics line. And I'm dead interested in reading Lost Girls, right now, whatever anyone else might think *nods*

Personally............"the Twighlight of super-Heros"........is the end of everything........Wonderfull. is a travel from Superman to John constantine.
The Fact that is a unpublished story....makes it more interesting.

Much as I love From Hell, the ABC line, Watchmen and all the other incredible stories he's put out there - in the end it's Book Three of Halo Jones that I'd pick as my absolute favourite.

I'd have to go withthe early funny ones: DR and Quinch...

Or that time twister about the guy who jumps in the river...

watchmen is a lesson in story telling and how to do it right one of the best books ever

The Ballad of Halo Jones, probably because I had never been so moved by a comic book until that time. I read Vols 1 and 2 in one go. The downbeat, yet hopeful ending, of someone who had "got out" but now didn't know what to do next, carved a deep impression. When Vol 3 came out I managed to hold off reading it until my Christmas holidays. I read it 3 times in a row (and many times since) and thereafter wasted many years trying to relive that thrill(power) with pale impersonators. If I were to ever become a billionaire or mafia don, I would undoubtably kidnap Mr Moore and force him to complete all ten parts. I'm sure many others wish me every success.

I haven't read everything written by this wonderful man, but I'm trying to make my way through it all. So far my favorite Alan Moore story, and favorite book in general, is, you guessed it, Watchmen.
I've been recommending it to almost everyone I know so as to get the word out it exists before the movie comes out.
