Leah Moore

Leah Moore1 is a British comics writer who was born in Northampton in 1978 and is not yet dead. Her website is here. She has written some stories for Wildstorm, including Wild Girl (with John Reppion, Shawn McManus and J. H. Williams III) and Albion (with Alan Moore, John Reppion and Shane Oakley). For Accent UK she and Reppion have co-written 'Lusca', 'An Molethy a an Ny-marrow (The Curse of the Un-dead)', 'The Cabinet of Doctor Diablo' and 'Mrs Henry'. Moore's most recent project is the strip Black Shuck in 2000 AD, written with co-author John Reppion, inker Steve Yeowell, colourist Chris Blythe and letterer Simon Bowland.

Moore is the daughter of Alan and Phyllis Moore ('Phyllis' comes from the Greek 'phyllon', leaf, and is the name of a mythical woman who killed herself for love and became an almond tree). Her husband is John Reppion.

1 Leah is the name of Jacob's least favourite wife in the Old Testament (to be fair, he had only two to choose from). It comes from a Hebrew word meaning 'cow', which was probably a compliment back then. (Cows have big dark eyes and are a vital source of food. Zeus' paramour Io was turned into one, and the Egyptian goddess Hathor is associated with the image of a cow.)
