- Swamp Thing. Artist: Steve Bissette, John Totleben, Others. Publisher: Vertigo/ DC Comics. We have difficulty with the word “adult.” We use that term to mean “serious,” but nothing is less serious than an adult.
- Watchmen. Artist: Dave Gibbons. Publisher: DC Comics. You’re reading a ranked list in the comics section of an online magazine, so I’m almost positive you’ve read Gibbons and Moore’s era-defining superhero murder mystery.
- From Hell. Artist: Eddie Campbell. Publisher: Top Shelf. This is Moore’s best comic, but not his best work. The Moore-Campbell working marriage is probably the choicest professional relationship the author ever engaged in, and it shows.
- The Ballad of Halo Jones. Artist: Ian Gibson. Publisher: 2000 AD. “Halo Jones was my first love,” novelist Lauren Beukes wrote in her introduction to one of the serial’s collections, “or maybe my first role model.
- Watchmen. Who watches the Watchmen?" That question is spray-painted throughout the background of Watchmen and is the central theme of the comic, a graphic novel all about the real-world implications of superheroes.
- From Hell. While the title of this comic might make it seem like another horror series (and there are definitely some horror elements in it), From Hell is a crime drama built around the Jack the Ripper killings.
- Saga Of The Swamp Thing. This was the comic that brought Alan Moore onto the scene of American comics. Swamp Thing creator Len Wein actually called Alan Moore at his home in England to ask the young British writer to take over the character.
- The Killing Joke. The Joker is not a character so much as a force of nature. He's chaos personified. Any attempt to humanize the character and explore his origin misses the point of his insanity.
