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.

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 *****.
Moore is creative AND classic. Watchmen / V for Vendetta are 20 years old, and people are still talking about it.
Kirby had a great influence on the Marvel universe. But Moore had a great influence on comics in general.

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

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.
