Anti-heroes: comics to read if you like Alan Moore

The originality of Alan Moore's stories, and the expressive ways in which the British author conveys them, make his style unmistakable by placing a recognizable signature that allows identifying certain narratives as his. A particular characteristic of Alan Moore's comic stories, in particular, is generally the presence of characters who are mostly anti-heroes; decidedly unconventional protagonists, who live their "super" lives in the name of the fight against evil while having to counter the pitfalls of a common existence: that made of contradictory moral choices, purely human instincts, ideals carried out also with the means more violent and radical.

Although Alan Moore is almost inimitable - whether you love him or hate him - you can still read some comic books which, in the same way, boast the presence of heroes who are such despite themselves , characters of stories in which the duality of these protagonists is staged, able to fight and counter big threats, but who are also bearers of attitudes and behaviors that are sometimes impetuous, unpleasant, hostile. Real, in short.

If you like reading Alan Moore and looking for plots that tell of heroes out of the ordinary, you may want to recover these comics.
