Alan Moore vs Jack Kirby

IM BACK !!!!!!!!!! Its good to be 'home' again .... missed you guys loads ... anyway who do think is the more creative writer ? 🙂

Moore is imo the better writer, by far. But Kirby had a vision that is crazy. Galactus(favorite character, bar none) and Surfer. Fantastic Four. The Eternals. Celestials.
The New Gods. His creations are second to none. Too bad, most of them have been relegated to Jobber Status, in recent history.

Alan Moore is the guy i'd love to write like, if i was of the following type. Much greater than Grant" Overrated"Morrison, at least imo. Squadron Supreme, The Watchmen. Dude has it. He has some more out there stuff, but so might not have any clue to what i referr, so i'll keep it relatively mainstream.

Alan Moore. I respect Kirby, but I almost worship Moore.

No competition.

If you want a guy who can create Space-God's and genius's call for Kirby.

If you want an intricate story that slowly unfolds while gripping you , then Moores your man.

I think Moore is the more creative writer of the two while Kirby is the more creative creator, if that makes any sense.

IT does.

Kirby's got a CRAZY imagination

Whereas Moore has an AMAZING eye for storytelling.

I'm going to have to go with the King. Moore's a great writer and creator (although, Uni, he had nothing to do with Squadron Supreme) but I personally just think Jack did much more, and wasn't such a whiney *****.

Kirby is classic
Moore is creative

Why whiney ?

Because DC ****ed with his rights ?

Because I'd certainly be pissed off if the company I was working for messed me around while I'm landing them millions.

There's a reason they call him Da King 😎

Kirby bitchslaps the hairy bafoon 😉

What are Kirbys most famous stories (If there are any).

I hardly say Morisson is overated ! 🙂

Kirby had a great influence on the Marvel universe. But Moore had a great influence on comics in general.

Without Kirby there wouldnt be comics 😐

Moore is a great storyteller but he is nowhere near Kirby's level

Yes there would. Or did you think he invented comics ?

Kirby didnt create heros or comics, but there would be no Marvel comics without Kirby 😐

Without Marvel comics, than comics would not have made it past the 60's and would have died shortly after. 😉

Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows ?

Morrison is vastly overrated imo. Vastly.

Compared to whom ? .... i mean i can understand if youre more of a FRANK miller / Brian Bendis/Ennis fan whose more into realistic / edgy/ dark comics, but when its comes to the 'Fantastical' Morisson is second only to Moore, IMO. 🙂

Nah. Morrison doesn't deserve to be in the sentence with Moore. Morrison is good, but when he goes deep into the metaphorical/abstract, sometimes he's the only one who gets the vision.
And if you can't sell your vision, then you have nothing.
Morrison gets a b+ for the thought, but a c-/d+ in execution.
