I think it's fairly undeniable that Alan Moore is one of the better currently living authors.

>Lost Girls is a graphic novel depicting the sexually explicit adventures of three important female fictional characters of the late 19th and early 20th century: Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz, and Wendy Darling from Peter Pan. They meet as adults in 1913, and describe and share some of their erotic adventures with each other. The story is written by Alan Moore, and drawn by Melinda Gebbie (who also created and drew The Cobweb series of stories for Tomorrow Stories, part of Moore's America's Best Comics line).

>Dorothy Gale
It was while trapped in her house during a cyclone that she began masturbating and experienced her first orgasm at the age of sixteen. She has sexual encounters with three farm hands whom she refers to as The Straw Man, The Cowardly Lion and The Tin Man. Throughout most of her stories, she refers to her "Aunt" and "Uncle", however, Wendy and Alice later bring her to confess that they are, in fact, her Father and Step-Mother. Her affairs are discovered by her step-mother. Her father takes her to New-York under the pretense of seeking psychological help. Dorothy and her father have sex regularly until they return home. She begins to feel guilt and remorse for destroying her father's marriage. Not long after, she leaves to travel the world.

Promethea is one of my favorite comics of all time, in any genre, but so far as superhero-writing kooks with funny foreign people accents go I vastly prefer Grant Morrison. He's cuter too!

You ever read Ender's Game?
Remember how the world was at peace because everyone was shitting themselves in fear because of the buggers/formics? then after the buggers are gone there was war?
Same thing in Watchmen. Humanity needed a common enemy and the vagina octopus from another dimension provided the world with that enemy.
