Frank Miller and Alan Moore

                                                     Frank Miller                                               Alan Moore

Both comic book writers famous for making comics a lot more mature and really for adults, Alan Moore with comics like: Watchmen, From Hell, Batman: Killing joke, V for Vendetta  and Frank Miller for reinventing Batman, Daredevil and creating Sin City and 300.

Both of them have had a massive impact on comics, not all of it good, none of it far from good depending on who you ask.

As both of two of there most famous comics and best; Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns where the reason so many 'gritty and dark' superhero's came about.

Along with that V for Vendetta's Guy Fawkes mask is a part of culture and used by protester's and a large group of the internet, And with out the Dark Knight Returns there wouldn't be the modern 'dark and gritty  batman films that have come out, some of the lines of the Dark Knight Returns are in 'the dark knight rises' and the idea of Batman leaving is also taken from the DKR, Frank miller had a massive effect on batman as a whole and helped show the character for what he should be.

Then he wrote the Dark Knight Returns and All Star batman and robin, and every copy should be burned...ever copy ever, as it made this

And Alan Moore him self, being a great writer by i am starting to see him as a  hypocrite to be honest.

These two men had both a great impact on the comic industry and much of the modern media its self, for better or for worse.
