script_robot_alan_mooreI first met Alan Moore on the occasion of his 40th birthday. He was performing Birth Caul: A Shamanism Of Childhood in Newcastle, he's just decided to become a magician and we ended up in the same pub afterwards. I asked him if I could publish his Twilight Of The Superheroes pitch with the copyright serial numbers shaved off, he said yes. DC later said no – basically because they'd paid Alan for the proposal. Alan conceded they might have a point.

Anyway, I decided that the most inappropriate way to celebrate the great man's birthday was by wishing him many happy returns on Twitter. Which he would never even see. Unless… unless… what if Alan Moore actually was on Twitter? What would his first tweet be? And with that #whatwouldalanmooresfirsttweetbe was born…
