''1963'' is a six-issue miniseries written by Creator/AlanMoore, with art by Rick Veitch and others, published in 1993 by Creator/ImageComics. A {{Retraux}} work, it invokes UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks (specifically early Creator/MarvelComics), complete with spoof advertisements in the style of the day. This last item was repeated with a period-appropriate twist by Moore's later project with Kevin O'Neill, ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. It ends on a [[LeftHanging never-to-be-resolved]] CliffHanger.
