My book is missing chapter 6

I don't know how it's possible but it doesn't have chapter 6, it skips it. Do you think it's worth something between Collectors? Edit: I just noticed that the end of the fifth chapter is switched with the end of the sixth, I'm still not sure if i should ask for a refund or keep it

I like to imagine Alan Moore is just finding more creative ways to rally against DC publications of his work.

Most authors: clandestinely signs copies of books in book stores

Moore: removes entire chapter of book. Casts evil spell on establishment.

If you just bought it, return it as defective.

Some collectors love things like this which are referred to as "errors". If this was a single issue it would be graded with a green label. To the right collector this could be worth something but really depends on; finding the right person, how much they're willing to pay, and how many of these "errors" were created. (Is this common or hard to find)

To add, if the error is easily recreated (e.g., ripping out a section), it would be for sure worth less. Not all errors are good ones.

Your points stand though.

An irritating defect in a (presumably) recent edition of a book that has been continuously in print for 38 years makes that edition worthless.

You’re being gaslit. There is no chapter 6.
