Written by Alan Moore. Art by Juan Jose Ryp and Jacen Burrows. Cover by Juan Jose Ryp.

The master of comic book writing shares his thoughts on how to deliver a top-notch script!

The main essay was originally written in 1985 and appeared in an obscure British fanzine, right as Moore was reshaping the landscape of modern comics, and has been tragically lost ever since. Now Avatar brings it back in print, collected for the first time as one graphic novel, and heavily illustrated by Jacen Burrows.

Alan Moore also provides a brand new essay on how his thoughts on writing have changed in the two decades since he first wrote it. For fans of Moore's work, new writers, or anyone who wants a peak behind the mental curtain of one of the greatest living writers, this is a can't-miss book!
