Alan Moore (November 18, 1953, Northampton) is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the history of graphic media. In 1979, he began publishing his works in the music magazine Sounds, under the pseudonym Curt Vile. Moore, with a nonconformist spirit, decides to jump into the world of scripting and in 1980 creates Ro-Jaws Robo Tales and Abelard Snazz, in addition to contributing to the Marvel Comics UK series Dr. Who Weekly.
With this background, he creates works like WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, SWAMP THING, and MIRACLEMAN, which have earned him numerous awards. He is also the brain behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has produced (along with many talented illustrators) THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, PROMETHEA, TOM STRONG, TOMORROW STORIES, and TOP TEN. As one of the most important innovators in the medium since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comic creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience.
Eddie Campbell (Glasgow, 1955) ha dejado su huella durante más de veinticinco años en el mundo de la novela gráfica, y su obra ha ganado casi todos los galardones del medio, incluyendo los premios Eisner, Ignatz y Harvey.
Junto a Alan Moore creó la célebre obra From Hell (Planeta DeAgostini, 2001), que posteriormente sería adaptada al cine, así como El amnios natal (Astiberri, 2012) y Serpientes y escaleras (Astiberri, 2012).
Entre la multitud de sus trabajos en solitario, destacan la serie Baco, editada en cinco volúmenes por Astiberri , y su monumental obra autobiográfica, Alec (Astiberri, 2010), publicada en dos vólumenes: Alec 1. Cómo ser artista y Alec 2. La musa muerta.
En El destino del artista (Astiberri, 2010) ofrece una compleja meditación sobre las solitarias exigencias del arte entre las realidades de la vida cotidiana. Su último cómic, Mi libro sobre el dinero. Esa cosa maravillosa y horrible (Astiberri, 2012), propone una visión personal y un viaje fascinante por la jungla de las finanzas.
