Alan Moore was born on 18 November 1953 in Northampton, England. His upbringing in a working-class family heavily influenced his political views, which leaned towards anarchism and anti-capitalism. He emerged as a prominent figure in the British comic book industry during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including groundbreaking work on '2000AD' and 'Warrior.' His most noticeable works include Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, all known for their complex narrative structure and darkly sophisticated themes.
Towards the late 80s, Moore increasingly became disillusioned with the comic industry’s corporate structure and the disregard for creator’s rights, leading him to publicly advocate anarchy. His works often depict an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist ideology, reflective of his own beliefs. His characters are often seen challenging the prevailing socio-political norms of their fictional societies, subtly advocating his anarchist philosophies. His enduring influence on the comic industry and his potent blend of storytelling with political commentary make him an important figure in anarchist thought.
