its always intrigued me how comic-strips without a coherent storyline are celebrated, but movies without one are panned...
moore is very cool at creating characters and interesting situations, but his dark, surreal, twisted nature does tend to get in the way of an intelligible plot

Outragous.
I refer the right honourable gentleman to such titles as;
Swamp Thing
Top 10
Promethea
All of the above have fairly straight forward yet beatifully written (and
coherent) storylines.

Yeah but
V for Vendetta (the comic)... not so much.
Don't get me wrong, I
love Alan Moore. To your list I'll add
Watchmen,
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,
From Hell... (although the royal family / masonic conspiracy theory of the Ripper's identity is pretty much nonsense) ... and I'm sure there are plenty more I can't remember off the top of my head. (Isn't
DR & Quinch an Alan Moore creation? )
But
V is probably his least successful work.

You've obviously not read
Lost Girls.

Top 10 is so often overlooked but its probably my fav Moore creation.
League Of Extraordinary Gents is slowly drifting into confusion - the Century stuff isn't up there with the pre Black Dossier stuff.
D.R. & Quinch rule
</geek>
Movies without a coherent storyline are OK but they still have to look or sound amazing. Otherwise, what's the point?

can't the same be said about comics?
From Hell is drawn really basic while the story is very complex, but the atmosphere is just perfect.
I haven't read the LoEG yet but most of the things by Allen More are really good.
somehow though I understand what you try to say
Mark the movie version of V was indeed better but I think that is because AM makes more effort to write a story but he often misses the dramatic action that you need in a live action movie.
take Watchmen, it it waren't superheroes it would be one dull story, there practicly isn't any action at all.
but I'm a fan of these kind of stories. to bad AM retires from writing

Thanks for the heads up on Frankenstein (orig)
Most enjoyable and also a mirror on how far we have come in 100 years.
In 1910 two years at college got you the mystery of life, in 2011 three years at Uni doesn't even get you a job.
