Alan Moore is likely the most acclaimed comic book writer in comic book history (and he has some stiff competition in guys like Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, and Stan Lee). However, once upon a time Moore was a struggling young creator like everyone else, so he did some bizarre projects. Very, very bizarre.
1 BJ and the Bear Annual. In the 1982 BJ and the Bear Annual (based on an American TV series about a trucker and his pet chimpanzee named the Bear), Alan Moore contributed not just one, but two special features. First was a story called “CB? That’s a Big Ten-Four!” where Moore explains the various slang terms that CB users used. Next was a story called “Bear’s Monkey Business.” Both features were illustrated text pieces, and obviously quite off the wall.
2 Not the World Cup Special. Alan Moore was not exactly the world’s biggest sports fan, but he managed to put together a three-page parody of football in this satire special that Marvel UK did for the 1982 World Cup.
3 Violator vs. Badrock. In the early 1990s, Moore was looking to do some freelance work outside of Marvel or DC. Luckily, the fellows at Image Comics had plenty of work for him. Moore went to work for Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, and Jim Lee on a number of projects. A few were particularly strange, including a teaming between Liefeld’s hero Badrock and McFarlane’s villain the Violator, where you could barely recognize that it was written by Moore.
