Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?/Superman Annual #11Īlan Moore has written two of the great Superman stories. In this comprehensive, atmospheric version of events Moore explores the seedy underbelly of Victorian London to depict a society sick to its core. Moore is known for his murky, morally-ambiguous work and it doesn’t come much darker than From Hell, his adaptation of the real-life Jack the Ripper murders. Though he is usually thought of as a DC man, Moore worked for Marvel in the early part of his career – most notably in his run on Captain Britain. Looking back, they are important for being some of the earliest Marvel stories to explore alternate universes (the usual Marvel universe is also called Earth 616 for the first time). ![]() ![]() In honour of the special occasion, we look at his 10 best ever works… Today is legendary comic book creator Alan Moore’s 63rd birthday. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not only do they not help the boy in defending uncle Eddie's legacy, they also pester him for his curiosity, showing the boy that the family has already rejected Eddie in a way. Regardless, the boy learns that his family is not the safe-haven he thought they were. Perhaps the reason the Eddie's legacy haunts the boy is that his family doesn't want to talk about it, which means that Eddie's legacy is in jeopardy (which is a common theory about ghosts, that they return to help manage their legacies). It's as if the boy is being haunted by Eddie's ghost, because the boy experiences a spiritual conviction about Eddie's death, eventually discerning that Eddie was innocent. Suddenly, we see that Eddie (a named character) means more to the boy (an unnamed character) than just family trivia. An interesting thing happens when the reader decides to take her suggestion and view the novel as a ghost story. The mother's argument to her son is that he should view the world in terms of spiritual energies, like demons and ghosts are literally haunting us in unseen ways. ![]() Written by people who wish to remain anonymous ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

From the opening line – "Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours, that they meant to murder him" – the narrative has the pull of a thriller. This reissue, with an introduction by JM Coetzee, coincides with the book's adaptation (again) to screen by Rowan Joffe, setting it in 1964 with Sam Riley in the lead role Joffe's foreword to this edition is almost an apologia for daring to remake John Boulting's 1947 version, famous for Richard Attenborough's ferocious performance as Pinkie.Īs well as bringing Greene commercial success, Brighton Rock also heralded the author's emergence as a "Catholic novelist". I t is the tension between the two faces of Brighton – the illuminated tourist bling and the gritty, mobster-laced industry behind the façade – that sets up the intrigue in Greene's classic 1938 novel of good and evil and it's the menacing, sinisterly youthful antihero Pinkie who continues to fascinate today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Where do we come from?
