Frank Miller took an iconic superhero and turned him into a bitter old man. Supposedly, it made "comic history."

Alan Moore took a nothing superhero and turned him into an existential rumination of what it means to be human three years before that.

Frank Miller went on to do: nothing of note. Everything he's ever written is shit. Aside from the notion that Superman is an exercise in fascism, Frank Miller has added exactly nothing.

Alan Moore went on to write... well, I link to this far too much.
