Hmm, perhap's Moore's 'problem' is that his larger than life persona has come to eclipse his actual comics and pushed him centre stage at the expense of comparable writers like the Hernandez Bros or Frank Miller, but they both cite Moore's achievements with 2000ad and DC as a major influence on their work. Overrated? Maybe, but it's hard to know what the correct level of appreciation someone should receive is when they're responsible for writing the likes of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing and the D.R. & Quinch and Halo Jones stories. Other writers may have written better comics than each of those
individually (although in the case of Halo Jones, i'm struggling to think of anyone) but as a body of work it's pretty impressive if you ask me.
