Smax by Alan Moore

Smax is a fictional character from the comic book series Top 10 written by Alan Moore, illustrated by Gene Ha, and published by the America's Best Comics imprint of DC Comics / Wildstorm. A Top-10 spin-off mini-series called Smax focused on the character.

Jeff Smax (born Jaafs Macksun), is a gigantic, blue-skinned, white-haired, super-powered, half-ogre policeman who lives and works in a city populated entirely by super-powered beings. Smax originally hailed from a land based on fantasy myth and fairy tale legends, but had left after a horrifying failure during his career as a dragon slayer.

Smax is the muscle of Precinct 10, being both incredibly strong, and invulnerable to most forms of harm, including radiation. Smax is often fairly gruff and guarded amongst his peers, mostly due to the frequent loss of loved ones he has experienced in life (most notably his dear friend and late partner, Stochastic Fats). Though at first very hesitant to become friendly with his new partner, Robyn Slinger, he eventually begins to bond with her, even feeling a great need to protect her when she is attacked by Commissioner Ultima. The pair are not romantically involved, however, as Smax has an intimate relationship with his twin sister Rexa.

Smax is fairly resourceful in the line of duty, but he has a quick temper and is not intellectually inclined, often not thinking things through. Smax has experience using weaponry, including his Singing Sword, but he most often prefers using his fist, or his Strong Light energy (which emanates from his solar plexus).

From Hell AND Deathblow Byblows - Alan Moore

From Hell is a graphic novel by writer Alan Moore and artist Eddie Campbell speculating upon the identity and motives of Jack the Ripper. The title is taken from the first words of the "From Hell" letter, which some authorities believe was an authentic message sent from the killer in 1888. The work is dense, multilayered and immensely detailed; the collected edition is about 572 pages long.

From Hell was made into a film in 2001. It was directed by the Hughes Brothers, and first released on October 19, 2001. It stared Johnny Depp and Heather Graham.

1963 by Alan Moore

1963 is a six-issue comic book limited series written by Alan Moore in 1993, with art by his frequent collaborators Steve Bissette, John Totleben, and Rick Veitch; other contributors included Dave Gibbons, Don Simpson, and Jim Valentino. It has technically never been finished, as the complete package was originally intended to comprise six issues and an 80-page Annual, of which only the six issues have been printed, by Image Comics. The comics also contained advertisements for "1963 1/2", which never surfaced either. However the Tomorrow Syndicate would appear alongside Big Bang Comics' Round Table of America, in an issue of Valentino's A Touch of Silver.

The six issues hark back to the Silver Age of American comics (in particular, the early Marvel Comics), and feature spoof advertisements on the rear covers—in a manner to be repeated with a twist by Moore and Kevin O'Neill in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Moore's homage to Marvel clichés included fictionalizing himself and the artists as the "Sixty-Three Sweatshop", describing his collaborators in the same hyperbolic and alliterative mode Stan Lee used for his "Marvel Bullpen"; each was given a Lee-style nickname (Affable Al, Sturdy Steve, Jaunty John, etc.—Veitch has since continued to refer to himself as "Roarin' Rick"). The parody is not entirely affectionate, as the text pieces and fictional letter columns contain pointed inside jokes about the business practices of 1960s comics publishers, with "Affable Al" portrayed as a tyrant who claims credit for his employees' creations. Moore also makes reference to Lee's self congratulatory book "Origins of Marvel Comics" (and the interminable sequels) when Affable Al recommends that readers hurry out and buy his new book "How I Created Everything All By Myself and Why I Am Great".
