Alan Moore's The Courtyard is a comic written by Alan Moore, adapted for comics by Antony Johnson with artwork by Jacen Burrows. It was originally planned to appear in Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths but was published as a standalone release by Avatar.
Plot
Originally it began as a short story by Moore, as part of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. The plot centres around an FBI agent who specialises in "anomaly theory," being assigned to investigate three seemingly-unrelated murder cases in Red Hook. When the investigation leads to a night club, and onto the apparent use of a drug named Aklo, the agent soon finds things are not at all as they seem.
Publication
Adapted for comics in 2003, a second version (the Companion) was released in 2004, which contained annotations and also Moore's original short story:
- Alan Moore's The Courtyard (Avatar Press, 56 pages, 2003 ISBN 1592910157)
- Alan Moore's The Courtyard Companion (Avatar Press, 72 pages, 2004 ISBN 1592910165)
