There may be a number of these. The last time I wrote Alan Moore as a fictional character, it was for a comic called Watchmensch, timed to come out at the same time as the Watchmen movie With Simon Rohrmuller on art, doing a spitting image of Dave Gibbons style, I ended up dropping a two[...]

Alan Moore writes and stars in the new God Is Dead as the High Priest of that snake god he worships I loved it, but it sure pissed Jesus off. DC's Grayson #2 was even better than the first I'm won over to this new status quo for the time being and look forward to more[...]

If the council loses its Museums Association Accreditation it will cut off Northampton's museums and gallery spaces from any public, charity or lottery funding.

In "Alpha", he's joined by Rafael Ortiz on the artwork for his own story, but also by Alan Moore with Facundo Percio and Simon Spurrier with Gabriel Andrade, each telling stories of returned gods behaving far differently than you might expect and showing the ways in which we create and empower the myths which drive[...]

Hannah Means-Shannon here reporting on my first honest-to-God rumor. Yes, it's partly because Rich Johnston is asleep but also because, hey, I found it

First we announced Alan Moore scripting himself into a story of the snake puppet god Glycon returning, full of the strangeness and humor that must entail, then we brought you Mike Costa giving his thoughts on using an underdog "Ifrit" fire spirit as an identification character in what's shaping up to be quite a detective[...]

What more could you bring to a book that already has Mike Costa's guiding hand deciding to turn a whole mythological epic into a detective story and one that has Alan Moore ACTUALLY writing himself into a story as a reluctant priest of a returned largely unknown god, Glycon? Well, who could you bring to[...]

In an interview with Subhajit Banerjee in The Guardian, Alan Moore has been talking further about the Electricomics concept that he's launching Although, he's brutally honest on his conception of the current digital comics scene.

I spent the next year reading everything by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman I could get my hands on, then Warren Ellis, and plenty of Grant Morrison, and just kept pulling threads that led me in new directions It was only after an initial canon read that I was ready to read "new" comics, and[...]

In 2002, Alan Moore and the late Steve Moore wrote an essay for Kaos #14 entitled "The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels", a semi-historical treatise witty, uproarious, and very informative It showed the sparks flying between the minds of Moore and Moore in full glory, and it introduced the world more fully[...]

In a significant announcement landing this morning, (but which we hinted at yesterday from teases on social media), Alan Moore will be partnering with a team of creators and funding bodies to produce a digital comics app called Electricomics which will initially feature four original comics titles, and perhaps most surprisingly, an open-access platform for[...]

The defining comic-book idea, of a story told simultaneously with pictures and words, barely applies to him. They talked about Alan Moore's transforming work, what influenced it, and what it influences, choosing a mean-spirited Watchman page They talked about his influence in breaking and smashing the page up, using a page from Young Avengers to see[...]

He would go on to direct the live action movie version of the Death Note manga in 2006. What Alan Moore did for Swamp Thing, this trilogy of movies did for a giant flying turtle.
