No, he is not.

He totally is.

He's not. At least not as bad as Neil Gaiman.

>> No.1767573

>>1767561
he's getting there

who cares about shit being "overrated," though. unless it's hateful or influential in a really negative way...like i can kinda see getting pissy over people jizzing over watchmen when it was spawning really, really stupid grim and gritty shit en masse, but at this point who cares. is it really worth sneering at someone who likes tom strong more than you do? it's kind of annoying when people tout his stuff as the peak of the comic book form but on the other hand...who cares

Chris Ware is the deepest deep guy to ever be deep in the history of comics and also coincidentally a bit like a grown-up Charlie Brown

>> No.1767609

>>1767578
Chris Ware is incredibly, incredibly talented but I have a very hard time getting into his style/mindset. Charlie Brown would probably grow up to be a better-than-average middlebrow literary novelist.

>> No.1767660

Holy shit people ripping on Alan Moore because he's super popular! Who do you like instead, OP? Mark Millar?

Explain how he's overrated and then I'll decide if you aren't a huge faggot

>> No.1767676

>>1767660

Pretty much this.

Also, shouldn't this be on /co/?

>> No.1768047

>>1767676
In fairness, he's written at least one novel and a lot of his comics have short stories at the end.

>> No.1768064

Sorry, Moore wrote an amazing H.P. Lovecraft/P.G. Wodehouse crossover fanfic in The Black Dossier, 'What Ho, Gods of the Abyss!'

Moore is a pretty cool guy.

OP is mad because he can't do magic like Moore.

Have you read Acme Novelty Library #20? I found it to be much more accessible than Jimmy Corrigan and it's still fucking amazing.

Also, OP. Read something beside Watchmen before you shittalk about Alan Moore.
