Alan Moore's Big Numbers (Size: 55.52 MB)
Description
Back in 1989, Alan Moore was interviewed in The Comics Journal, and he talked about his enormous next project: Big Numbers, a graphic novel meant to outdo his most ambitious work to date, Watchmen. This was to be the first great work after Moore's departure from the superhero genre. Long story short, the artist found the work overwhelming and underpaying and quit, his replacement drew the fourth issue and then destroyed the work and disappeared, and Alan Moore's publishing company, Mad Love, folded after two issues saw print.
In other words, Alan Moore's most ambitious non-genre work was aborted, never to be finished. The third issue surfaced in the form of xerox copies, and is included in this download. The extant issues of Big Numbers are almost impossible to find, so I'm offering it up for anyone who does a search for it. It's out-of-print, probably for good, so this is the only way to see it other than expensive back issues. Please seed. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Big Numbers Publisher Mad Love Format Limited series Publication date April – August 1990 Number of issues 2 (of 12) Creative team Writer(s) Alan Moore Artist(s) Bill Sienkiewicz Letterer(s) Bill Sienkiewicz Roxanne Starr Editor(s) Debbie Delano Phyllis Moore Big Numbers is an unfinished graphic novel by writer Alan Moore and artist Bill Sienkiewicz. In 1990 Moore's short-lived imprint Mad Love published two of the planned twelve issues; the series was picked up by Kevin Eastman's Tundra Publishing, but the completed third issue did not print, and the remaining issues, whose artwork was to be handled by Sienkiewicz's assistant Al Columbia, were never finished. The work marks a move on Moore's part from genre fiction in the wake of the success of Watchmen. Moore weaves mathematics into a narrative of socioeconomic changes wrought by an American corporation's building of a shopping mall in a small, traditional English town, and the effects of the economic policies the Margaret Thatcher administration in the 1980s.
