Swamp Thing
· Saga of the Swamp Thing #20-31, Saga of the Swamp Thing Annual #2, Saga of the Swamp Thing #32-38, Swamp Thing (second series) #39-41, Saga of the Swamp Thing #42-45, Swamp Thing (second series) #46-61, 63-64: Published monthly by DC Comics, Alan Moore's first American comics work was on this title, which not only brought him to public acclaim but caused DC to begin removing the seal of the Comics Code Authority from their books, forerunning the mature readers line that became Vertigo. Artists varied, but included John Totleben, Stephen R. Bissette, Rick Veitch, and Alfredo Alcala. #20 was cover-dated January 1984; #64 was cover-dated September 1987. #59 was written by Stephen Bissette, from a plot by Alan Moore, Bissette, Totleben, and Veitch; #62 was written by Rick Veitch. DC / Vertigo has collected the first half of Alan Moore's run in the following volumes: Saga of the Swamp Thing (#21-28), Swamp Thing: Love and Death (#29-34 and Annual #2), and Swamp Thing: The Curse (#35-42). For more information, see The Continuity Pages: Swamp Thing > Alan Moore Era (1983-1987).
· Superman Annual #11: "For The Man Who Has Everything," a 40-page story featuring art by Dave Gibbons. Cover-dated June 1985, this annual was reprinted (along with other Superman stories) in DC's The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told. For more information, see The Continuity Pages: Superman > Pre-Crisis (1938-1986).

Reprinted in The Greatest Team-Up Stories Ever Told and in the British volume Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. For more information, see The Continuity Pages: Swamp Thing > Alan Moore Era (1983-1987).

DC collected the mini-series soonafter its completion. For more information, see The Continuity Pages: Watchmen.

The entire story was illustrated by Eddie Campbell. The prologue to the series was first printed in Cerebus #124, published by Aardvark-Vanaheim in 1989. Early episodes of From Hell first appeared the massive volumes of Taboo, intermittently published by Spiderbaby Graphix (and, from #3 to #7, Tundra); Taboo #2-7 featured From Hell chapters 1-6, respectively.

· WildC.A.T.s #21-34, Wildstorm Spotlight #1: These issues were illustrated by many artists, the most dominant of which was Travis Charest, notoriously late with his art.

WildC.A.T.s #21 was cover-dated July 1995; WildC.A.T.s #34 was cover-dated February 1997.

Recitations
· The Birth Caul: Published in mid-1999 by Eddie Campbell comics, The Birth Caul was a comic book adaptation of a reading / performance by Alan Moore. A CD of that performance was, prior to this comic book adaptation, commercially available.

The comic book adaptation was 48 pages and was illustrated by Eddie Campbell. For more information, see The Continuity Pages: Alan Moore.
· Snakes and Ladders: Published in October 2001 by Eddie Campbell comics, Snakes and Ladders was a comic book adaptation of a 1999 reading / performance by Alan Moore.
