- In addition to his socio-political themes and well-developed characters, his most (in)famous aspect is his painstaking attention to detail. He is famous for writing entire pages of description for the images in his comics, and has been known to send pieces of fabric to the artists so that they can use them as reference for wallpapers in the backgrounds of his comics.
- Won the British Eagle Awards for Best Comics Writer in 1982 and 1983 for his work on Marvelman (known in the United States as Miracleman) and V For Vendetta.
- Has his own publishing company, America's Best Comics (ABC). He publishes: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories and Top 10 among others.
- First comics author to win the prestigious Hugo Award (1988) for "Watchmen" (though he was not the only one; comic writer Neil Gaiman won the Hugo in 2002, albeit for a novel, and not a graphic work).
