Alan Moore: Portrait of an Extraordinary Gentleman is a tribute to comics creator Alan Moore edited by Gary Spencer Millidge and Smoky Man and published by Abiogenesis Press in May 2003. Published to raise awareness and funds for charity, its first printing swiftly sold out, with a second, "corrected" published in November 2003.
It was co-published with Black Velvet Editrice of Italy and raised over $36,000 for Alzheimer's charities.
As of January, 2007, Abiogenesis Press declared the second printing sold out also, with no plans for a further English printing.
It contains acknowledgments, academic essays, cartoons and reminiscences by 145 artists and writers.
Notable contributors include Moore's daughters Leah and Amber, and previous Moore-collaborators Bill Sienkiewicz (Big Numbers, Brought to Light), Dave Gibbons and John Higgins (Watchmen), David Lloyd (V For Vendetta), J. H. Williams III (Promethea), José Villarrubia (The Mirror of Love), Kevin O'Neill (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Oscar Zarate (A Small Killing), Rick Veitch and Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing), Jamie Delano (Hellblazer) and Steve Parkhouse (The Bojeffries Saga).
