Alan Moore Kicks Ass

The more I'm getting into comics the more I am liking the works of Alan Moore. His Watchmen is required reading for the modern superhero fan, but I have been stumbling upon other works of his that are great too. Last night I stayed up past my bedtime reading Supreme: The Story of the Year. Great stuff. I think any Superman fan would find this an interesting read. Like Watchmen, this Supreme trade demonstrates Moore's ability to use the history of comics as building blocks in modern stories, while always maintaining the respect due his creative precursors. Another great example of such work would be his mini-series 1963, which I love but hadn't realized was his work until I read it in the 'about the author' blurb on thback of the Supreme trade.
