Bit of a Stretch here, but any Duck Fan will admit that
" March of the Sinister Ducks " is a bit Brilliant !

Alan Moore IS, of course, the iconoclastic and reclusive writer who (almost single-handedly)
opened the Doors of Perception as part of the British Wave of writers and artists
that eventually changed the Culture's perception of mere 'funny books' from children's peril
to instead be viewed as "Literature", and literature of an advanced kind.
Watchman, yes of Course. Batman: The Killing Joke: you Betcha.
Saga of the Swamp Thing !! There you go; where Surrealism begins to surpasses the conventional forms.
The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. ...
Any one of those alone would have made him a Great. All of them en masse makes him Iconic.
Personally:
I think Promethea is the epitome of his Graphic Novel writing as Craft, and of Art (so far!),
However, I feel his Greatest Works are actually his spoken word/Theater pieces.
My favorite is 'Snakes and Ladders' (hands down! although... The Highbury Working is a close second)
This excerpt is from Snakes & Ladders's ,
and is (roughly) His retelling of the Creation Story,
It is IMHO : jaw-dropping~~~>

But, yeah... anyways;
The Point Being ?
Sinister Ducks is a stitch !
~~~~
Everyone thinks they’re such Sweet Little Things
soft downy feathers and nice little wings
But ! There’s a Poison I’d like to Administer;
You think they’re 'Cuddly', but I think they’re Sinister!
Ducks ! Ducks !! quack-quack quack-quack ~
What are they doing at Night in the Park...?
think of them Waddling about in the Dark...!
Sneering and Whispering and Stealing your Cars
Reading Pornography... Smoking cigars!
Ducks ! Ducks !! quack-quack quack-quack ~
Nasty and Small undeserving of Life
they’ll Sneer at your Hairstyle and Sleep with your Wife...!
Dressed in Plaid Jackets and Horrible Shoes
getting Divorces and Turning to Booze!
Ducks ! Ducks !! quack-quack quack-quack ~
Forcing Old Ladies to throw them some Bread
Who could Deny they’d be Better Off Dead...?!!?
Look Closely and you will Recoil in Surprise
at Web-Footed Fascists with Mad Little Eyes!
Ducks Ducks Quack-quack Quack-quack ~
