Alan Moore made his return to the comics field in a big way when he started America’s Best Comics (a bold company name … especially coming from the UK). The top three titles from this line were Top 10, Promethea and Tom Strong. Tom Strong allowed Alan Moore to explore different times and worlds, creating stories that gave a nod to the golden age of comics.
