Themes in Moore's Work
Moore's work is known for its sensitive and realistic portrayals of women in particular. Template:Fact see talkpage At a time when the comics industry was portraying women in highly exaggerated and sexualized images, Moore created female (and male) characters with natural body fat and who had body image problems. Moore continually emphasized in his editorial pages how he wanted to portray real women in real relationships, rather than the busty, unrealistic images that were common in most comic books in the early nineteen-nineties.
Moore also took on the controversial subject of sexuality and lesbianism in his work. His female protagonists, while never explicitly adopting a sexual identity, struggle throughout the stories with their relationships with one another, with their male counterpart, and whether friendship can be or should be discrete from romantic love.
