INFINITY GAUNTLET #1 (Jul 1991)
Marvel Comics
On May 21, 1991, the Mad Titan upended existence with a single click of his fingers, killing 50% of life, and leaving the Super Heroes of the Marvel universe with the greatest fight in history ahead of them. Led by the resurrected Adam Warlock and aided by primal cosmic forces, Earth's protectors entered cosmic warfare in a six-issue event written by Jim Starlin and featuring the art of George Perez and Ron Lim. And 28 years later, the reverberations of this one action are still echoing across the world!

DC UNIVERSE: THE STORIES OF ALAN MOORE TP
(Jan 2005)
I am a long time Alan Moore fan, and like most of the hardcore Watchmen
fans, I went to see the movie on opening weekend. I loved the movie,
but it's really not a movie that's going to be understood by the
masses. People who think this is another superhero movie will in for a
surprise.
I love Rorschach in the movie! You can read more on my thoughts on Watchmen at W♥M.
In the meantime, I thought it was interesting that DC Comics is trying
to milk more money out of Watchmen by introducing their "After
Watchmen... What's Next?" program which looks like a big waste of time
for old fans like myself. I understand that this is a program
directed towards new fans, but I honestly don't think this movie will
draw in baby new fans.
No surprise that among the What's Next program are other Alan Moore stories. Among them DC UNIVERSE: THE STORIES OF ALAN MOORE, which includes reprints of the last Superman story with art by Curt Swan and George Perez.
Alan Moore is considered by many to be
the finest writer ever to work in the comics medium. The quirky British
creator, who bears a strong resemblance to Rasputin, has spent the last
24 years churning out comic classics such as "The Watchmen," "V For
Vendetta" and the Jack the Ripper tale "From Hell." Each one of these
books was an original Moore creation, for the most part, using
characters conjured up out of his prolific imagination.

"DC Universe: The Stories of Alan
Moore" also boasts the work of some fantastic comic artists, such as
George Perez, Jim Aparo and the legendary Curt Swan. This 304-page
trade paperback also features a new cover by "Killing Joke" artist
Brian Bolland. Out Wednesday, "The Stories of Alan Moore" has a cover
price of $19.99 and is recommended for mature readers.
The following products are expected to ship to comic book
specialty stores next week. Note that this list is tentative
and subject to change. Please check with your retailer for availability.

Paré
d’une somptueuse nouvelle couverture de Brian Bolland, le volume
anthologique DC Universe : The Stories of Alan Moore sera certainement
l’un des musts de cette fin d’année. Collectant tout simplement TOUTES
les histoires courtes écrites par Moore pour l’éditeur new-yorkais, ce
pavé retrace précisément la période 1985-1988 du génie de la narration
séquentielle hormis les œuvres complètes (type Watchmen ou V For
Vendetta) déjà disponibles en recueils. Associé à des dessinateurs
légendaires comme Bolland, Kevin O’Neill, Dave Gibbons, Curt Swan ou
encore Joe Orlando, Alan Moore a su tirer le meilleur des héros maison.
Voici en détail, le contenu de cette édition vraiment incontournable:

SUPERMAN #423: "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" Part One
avec Curt Swan & George Pérez
DC Comics
has announced that it will collect all of the Alan Moore DC Universe
stories into a single volume, DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore,
for release in January. The 304-page volume will include sixteen
stories by Moore, along with an excerpt from his proposal for Killing
Joke and text pieces by Dave Gibbons and Paul Kupperberg. The sixteen
stories include Batman: The Killing Joke (with Brian Bolland) and
"Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" (with Curt Swan,
George Perez, and Kurt Schaffenberger), neither of which has ever been
collected before. Other stories in the collection include
collaborations with Dave Gibbons, Joe Orlando, Rick Veitch and Al
Williamson, and Klaus Janson. The book will feature a new cover by
Brian Bolland, and retail for $19.99.
Updated 10/10/05 12:45 PM - A number of questions were raised by members of the CBR Forums
regarding this new volume and why it's been solicited two years after a
similar volume was released by DC in 2003, "Across the Universe: The DC
Universe Stories of Alan Moore." While the two volumes are similar,
"Across the Universe" did not include the stories "The Killing Joke" or
"Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow." A DC Comics spokesperson
confirmed for CBR News today that the "Across the Universe" TPB is now
out of print and the company has run through their stock of the two
prestige format versions of "The Killing Joke" and "Whatever Happened
Happened to the Man of Tomorrow." DC chose to wait until all those
items were sold out before making everything available in this new
volume.
Gathering every DCU tale written by Alan Moore under one cover for the
very first time, DC UNIVERSE: THE STORIES OF ALAN MOORE TP features
sixteen stories including the never-before-collected BATMAN: THE
KILLING JOKE and SUPERMAN: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN OF TOMORROW.
Topped
with a new cover by Brian Bolland, DC UNIVERSE: THE STORIES OF ALAN
MOORE TP features art by Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Kevin O ' Neill, Klaus
Janson, Jim Baikie, Curt Swan, Rick Veitch, Joe Orlando, John Byrne,
Bill Willingham and others, in stories originally published from 1985 -
1988.
The book
also includes an excerpt from Moore ' s proposal for BATMAN: THE
KILLING JOKE, as well as text pieces by Dave Gibbons and Paul
Kupperberg.
