SEQUENTIAL, the digital graphic novel app, has today
released a free biography comic of the legendary Alan Moore, to celebrate the
writer's 60th birthday this November 18th.
Alan Moore: An Extraordinary Gentleman is free to
download and is available exclusively via SEQUENTIAL for iPad. It has been
created by comics writer and aficionado Gary Spencer Millidge, author of Alan
Moore: Storyteller and the critically acclaimed comic book series Strangehaven.
The comic strip was originally created in 2003 for a
tribute book compiled to celebrate Alan Moore’s 50th birthday, using images
from Moore's own comics to illustrate his journey, literally and
metaphorically. A decade later, Gary Spencer Millidge has revised, updated and
expanded the original comic, upgraded images, and re-sequenced panels, to
produce a reasonably accurate, albeit highly condensed, slightly simplified,
moderately sensationalised and intentionally melodramatic reflection of one of
comics’ greatest creators and personalities.
Alan Moore: An Extraordinary Gentleman is now presented
in full colour for the very first time, exclusively on SEQUENTIAL, and
completely free to download.
The book sits alongside other SEQUENTIAL releases
including a free collection of Neil Gaiman's 'lost' comics from the 1980s (with
money from each free download donated to the charity Malaria No More UK), works
by Moore including From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century
and titles by comics legends Gilbert Shelton, Bryan Talbot, Alison Bechdel,
Eddie Campbell, David Lloyd and many more.
SEQUENTIAL is available worldwide to download for free
