I recently discovered the work of Alan Moore. He instantly become one of my favorite author (And I didnt even know yet about his reckless political views) I even read his non-illustrated book -not so good-

Watchmen is dense -not as much as my favorite "from hell" - with a lot of cool character. Just for Rorschach the book is worth reading. A psychopathic who is also a very true super-hero was something totally original. We needed Rorschach as much as we needed Lorenzaccio or even Hamlet.

Dr Manhantan seems more a plot device -justifying the alternate reality- than a real character. Moore did a better job -and a more fun one - at portraying an all powerful being in "Supreme"

I watched the movie a few month ago. I was very disappointed by the music score (you cannot use super known song without distracting the audience from the story). But I though the end was more clever than in the comic-book -a nice surprise-.

To anyone who liked the book or the movie, you can easily read anything by Moore, it will be good.
