'''Alan Moore''' (born [[18th November]] [[1953]]) was the writer of a number of [[Back-up Comic Strip Stories]] for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. Moore rose to fame in the late 1980s with his groundbreaking work for DC Comics, most notably ''Swamp Thing'', ''Watchmen'' - which is credited with redefining the graphic novel format - and ''V For Vendetta''. He later created ''From Hell'', ''League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'', ''Tom Strong'', ''Promethea'', ''Top Ten'' and the controversial ''Lost Girls''.
'''Alan Moore''' (born [[18th November]] [[1953]]) was the writer of a number of [[Back-up Comic Strip Stories|back-up features]] for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' during the earlier phase of his career. Now regarded as the most acclaimed comic book writer of all time, he profoundly influenced late [[1980s]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'' era [[Script Editor]] [[Andrew Cartmel]], who asked him to submit story ideas to him. Cartmel ended up saying no to his proposals. Scenes from Moore's ''[[Wikipedia:The Ballad of Halo Jones|The Ballad of Halo Jones]]'' had an influence on the ''Doctor Who'' stories ''[[Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Dragonfire]]'' and ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'' as Cartmel had shown ''Ballad'' to script writers as an example of the style of story he wanted to, in part, emulate.
