In the The Superheroes Annual in 1984, Moore contributed the short piece, Protected Species, with illustrations by Bryan Talbot.
Later this week, I'll show you the other Alan Moore Superman text story.
Alan Moore working for Rob Liefeld? One of the unlikeliest combinations in comics, and yet, for a short but prolific time, they made it Awesome.
Welcome
Having gathered quite a bit of information about Moore's Supreme and Awesome runs, I decided to create a home for the forgotten Awesome. Over the course of a year, I put it all together here.
Each week I did a main "Weekly Reading" post that was a read-through of that issue. I followed that up with a couple of other posts about topics from that Weekly Reading or whatever else I came up with to talk about. You'll find the lost Youngbloods in the Youngblood section and the fan-edit of the last Supreme in After Awesome.
Below is the archive of posts broken up by book. Thanks for checking the site out!

Moore's earliest Superman stories - Part 1
I don't have a ton of offshoots from the Weekly Reading of Supreme #45, so instead I'm going to give you a little treat instead. When most people (well, not most people - just most crazy Alan Moore fans) think of Moore's Superman stories, they think of For the Man Who Has Everything, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? and maybe the DC Comics Presents #85: Superman/Swamp Thing: The Jungle Line. But most don't know that Moore worked on two Superman stories for the small outfit of DC UK. DC UK, like Marvel UK, were run as separate companies, reprinting U.S. material with the occasional original piece tossed in. Mostly, these were put together as hardcover annuals, with mazes and word games.
In the The Superheroes Annual in 1984, Moore contributed the short piece, Protected Species, with illustrations by Bryan Talbot.
Later this week, I'll show you the other Alan Moore Superman text story.
