The Original Writer Formerly Known As Alan Moore

Marvel have made an agreement with Alan Moore to not use his name in conjunction with their reprinting of the Marvelman/Miracleman comic book, at his request.

Which necessitated such solicitations such as this;

It's a bit The Artist Formerly Known As Prince. Can we start calling Alan by the nickname TOWie?

Also, since Warrior #1 only had the first eight page chapter of Marvelman by Alan Moore and Garry Leach, it looks like there will be a lot of Mick Anglo history to bulk it out the first issue, as well
