The first volume in a new series collecting the complete 2000 AD works of the legendary Alan Moore (Watchmen, V For Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
Alan Moore is a legendary comics writer credited with transforming the medium and how it was seen through his seminal works such as V For Vendetta, From Hell and, of course, Watchmen.
But, before any of that, he cut his teeth at 2000 AD, the "galaxy's greatest comic". It was there that Moore honed his craft in preparation for the accolades that would follow.
This first volume in a new series collecting all of Alan Moore's work for 2000 AD, brings together all of his Future Shocks as well as a host of other one-off stories.
Moore is a master of the short-format story and this collection doubles as the perfect guide for how to write comics to a page limit.
Includes the story "A Holiday In Hell" which has never been reprinted in English since its first publication in 1980.
Moore's stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists including Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.

"Historically important AND a lot of fun"
"The unimaginable number of silly stories and joyfully deranged twist endings make this book a treat independent of its historical importance"
"Playfully popping the balloon of hero worship"
"The Complete 2000AD by Alan Moore is necessary reading for a complete view of Alan Moore. Through various sci-fi adventures and parodies, Moore dips his toes into the ideas that would seal his reputation, while also injecting a playfulness that many newer readers might not be familiar with. Theres always good reason to study Alan Moores work, but rarely is that process as much fun as his years with 2000AD." -- Steve Baxi * The Beat * "For me, a thrilling foray into a previously unexplored era of Moores comic writing"
"Virtuoso storytelling craft, and absolutely bursting with innovative ideas that would go on to transform the comics medium"
"The sheer level of craft and graft on display here is a masterclass all its own on the art of comics making and storytelling. Harbingers of great things to come, sure, but even better as wonderful novelties all on their own." -- Bobby Campbell * Comic Book Yeti *
