 Amazon.co.uk: Books: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
This book, like the film, is a fantastically scripted well drawn and marvalous creation worthy of being called my personal favourite graphic novel/ film.
The concept is pretty outstanding: Moore's taken public-domain "heroes" of the 19th-century and remixed them into a classic superhero team in the spirit of Justice League, X-Men, etc. They are tossed into a steampunk version of Victorian London to do battle with a nefarious villain from the same era of genre-lit.
I'm a very casual comics reader, never buying any but borrowing anything that's at the library except for manga or pure superhero fare.

 John Carmack: Information From Answers.com
In 2005, the film Doom featured a character named Dr.
His programming skills contributed to the development of seminal games of that genre: Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, as well as their newer versions (including Doom 3 and the rest of the Quake series).
He has pioneered the use of many techniques in computer graphics, including binary space partitioning which Doom became the first game to use, surface caching which he invented for Quake, and Carmack's Reverse which he devised for Doom 3 (while the latter was not originally invented by him, he discovered it independently).
