MR. Alan Moore, author and former circus exhibit (as "The What-Is-It from Borneo"), is chiefly famed for his chapbooks produced with the younger reader in mind. He astounded the Penny Dreadful world with such noted pamphlets as "A Child's Garden of Venereal Horrors" (1864), and "Cocaine and Rowing: The Sure Way to Health" (1872) before inheriting a Cumbrian jute mill and, in 1904, expiring of Scorn. MR. Kevin O'Neill commenced his career as a pugilist in 1859. Due to excessive drinking and repeated cerebral splintering during an early bout with Walter Phibbs, the Widnes Goliath, O'Neill passed into an insensible state from which he was never fully to awaken. However, in 1885, doctors discovered that by attaching galvanising cables directly to the comatose prize-fighter's brain, his right hand could be made to delineate exquisite and fanciful illustrations, such as his well-known series "Modern Times, or, The Progress of a Scented Nonce," and, of course, his scandalous "Queen Victoria and Emily Pankhurst Girl-on-Girl Novelty Flipbook." Mr. O'Neill is currently maintained on a special diet at the London Hospital.Moore, Alan is the author of 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ' with ISBN 9781563898587 and ISBN 1563898586.
