A Small Killing A Small Killing was an original 96-page graphic novella with art by Oscar Zarate. It was also a wonderful exploration of the meachanistic nature of adulthood and repression.

Lost Girls Lost Girls was originally serialized in Taboo #5-7, each of which featured two chapters at 8 pages per chapter. The story was one of lesbien erotica with art by Melinda Gebbie. It was intended to be told over multiple books (like Moore's work on Miracleman or V for Vendetta). The issues listed here are just-under-magazine-size comic books, published by Kitchen Sink Press, that reprint the chapters from Taboo #5-7. Lost Girls is, as yet, unfinished.

Beginning in Negative Burn #9 (cover-dated March 1994), the anthology published by Caliber Press began to feature "Alan Moore's Songbook," which saw black-and-white illustrations accompany lyrics by Alan Moore. The feature quickly began to appear irregularly, running a total of 15 episodes / songs. Over four year later, a collection of 13 of these features was published as Alan Moore's Songbook.
