'''Alan Moore''' (born [[18th November]] [[1953]]) was the writer of a number of [[Doctor Who Magazine back-up comics stories|back-up features]] for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' during the earlier phase of his career. He left the title alongside fellow writer [[Steve Moore]] (no relation), in response to editor [[Alan McKenzie]] taking one of Steve's strips without his knowledge. {{fact}} (Alan McKenzie refutes this, and there's no evidence in the published magazines that McKenzie did any such thing. Probably a good idea if this claim were removed.)
'''Alan Moore''' (born [[18th November]] [[1953]]) was the writer of a number of [[Doctor Who Magazine back-up comics stories|back-up features]] for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' during the earlier phase of his career. He left the title alongside fellow writer [[Steve Moore]] (no relation), after Steve Moore heard from group editor [[Paul Neary]] that DWM editor [[Alan McKenzie]] was taking one of his strips without his knowledge. (McKenzie has denied ever doing so) Steve Moore has said this was "a wonderful gesture of support that was remarkable for someone at that early a stage in their career". <ref>[http://www.alteredvistas.co.uk/html/steve_moore_abslom_daak_interv.html Abslom Daak interview with Steve Moore]</ref>
