/lit/ - Literature

Don't see why not, really.

Also, posting best Moore.

Alan Moore is the greatest author of our generation.

Alan Moore thread?

Any other books like this? I really enjoyed this one.

just give me the information i want, darling

There is no universal approval of anything on /lit/, but here you go anyways.

Does this look like something you want to read? Perhaps you should.

Until recently I thought this was just a movie. Holy crap was I wrong. It's a graphic novel by Alan Moore (Watchment, V for Vendetta, etc.). Historical fiction about the Jack the Ripper murders. Fucking delicious.

I enjoy books and comics and read a good deal of both, and imo the best comic writing exceeds mediocre book writing, but I don't think the best comic writing is entirely on par with the best literature. A "Graphic Novel" I would consider more to be an illustrated short story or novella at the most. From Hell is probably the only "graphic novel" that I've read and would give serious consideration as a major literary work in comics. Even then, still just consideration.

Currently reading through this beast.

It's the closest thing to capital-L Literature I think a graphic novel has ever come.

I would probably jack Allan Moore off, if he asked.
