Jerusalem is a literary work that took ten years for Moore. The book really breaks all the rules of contemporary prose and tells a wholly unique story in a unique way. Each chapter is told from a different character’s point of view while also jumping around through time from the Middle Ages to the end of the universe and everywhere in between. This is a big, complex novel, but it is also very rewarding as it is both hilarious and heartbreaking. A book that only Moore could’ve written.

Moore’s masterpiece is considered by many to be Watchmen. The book explores the effect that superheroes actually existing would have in our world. With the United States having won the Vietnam War thanks to the assistance of superheroes while Richard Nixon remained president of the U.S. The book follows a group of superheroes who have some real human problems and the book manages to dissect what it means to be a superhero and what would drive someone to become a superhero in some illuminating and fascinating ways. Legendary characters like Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach fill the pages and help to tell a story about politics, morality, humanity, and much more.
