The Around Comics "Year of Alan Moore" Book Club was created November 15, 2006 on the Around Comics Message Boards by listener Ryan Stegman. It was presented as an opportunity for the Around Comics community to read (and maybe for the first time) a different classic Alan Moore story each month and then have the chance to share their thoughts with the group. The Around Comics crew ran with the idea and created the following schedule of spotlighted books:
