Panel Vision - Captain Britain: Crooked World

Alan Moore is one of those unique authors in the realm of comics that most people are aware of without really experiencing his full volume of work.  Most folks know Moore for Watchmen, V for Vendetta, or The Killing Joke, maybe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or Marvelman if they’re particularly comic book minded.  I understand this impetus to an extent as the thin shaft of Moore’s work that’s widely known comes without the continuity baggage of his early work or the uncomfortable lewdness of his recent endeavors.  However this has left a ton of his great stuff unknown to a lot of readers, one such comic is his excellent Captain Britain stuff. 

In this review I’ll only be focusing on one key story that Moore wrote ‘Crooked World,’ but there are a ton of other great Captain Britain stories by him to check out.  Captain Britain- Crooked World just came to mind because a lot of its key elements have been popping up recently between Marvel’s Secret War comic, the recent Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders mini-series, and the oncoming Captain America 3: Civil War.  All of these trends flow from the same source that is this comic.
