The Complete 2000 AD By Alan Moore: Future Shocks & Other Stories (1)

The first volume in a new series collecting the complete 2000 AD works of the legendary Alan Moore (Watchmen, V For Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).

Alan Moore is a legendary comics writer credited with transforming the medium and how it was seen through his seminal works such as V For Vendetta, From Hell and, of course, Watchmen.

But, before any of that, he cut his teeth at 2000 AD, the "galaxy's greatest comic". It was there that Moore honed his craft in preparation for the accolades that would follow.

This first volume in a new series collecting all of Alan Moore's work for 2000 AD, brings together all of his Future Shocks as well as a host of other one-off stories.

Moore is a master of the short-format story and this collection doubles as the perfect guide for how to write comics to a page limit.

Includes the story "A Holiday In Hell" which has never been reprinted in English since its first publication in 1980.

Moore's stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists including Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.
