Alan Moore's Cinema Purgatorio

Over eighteen issues from 2016 to 2019, Avatar Press presented Cinema Purgatorio, a horror anthology series primarily scripted by Alan Moore and Max Brooks, with art by Michael Dipascale, Gabriel Andrade, and Nahuel Lopez. Each issue offered a standalone, often unsettling story that reimagined classic film genres and tropes through a dark, satirical lens—ranging from silent cinema to grindhouse. The series stands as a late-career showcase for Moore’s love of the medium’s more lurid, experimental corners, blending his literary ambition with the raw, unapologetic horror for which Avatar Press is known.
