Abstract

British screenwriter Alan Moore is one of the great revolutionaries (along with Frank Miller and Art Spiegelman) of the western comic book narrative. In this study we propose to analyze the narrative and visual strategies, as well as the thematic evolution, evidencing the maturity of the medium reached in the works of Alan Moore. We will focus the analysis on the most relevant works (Watchmen, V de Vendetta and From Hell) and in those that give us distinctive features or significant and unequivocal examples of their artistic innovations or characteristics (The Swamp Thing, The League of Extraordinary Men, Miracleman and Promethea).
