Alan Moore Archives

  Photo by Ricky-Marcel Pitcher. At the weekend, I discovered how plans for Mitch Jenkins and Alan Moore's Show Pieces movie forced Hewlett Packard closed down one of their product lines. I'm not sure which one  Was it HP abandoning PCs and tablets in 2011? Or 2012's abandoning Windows 8 tablet plans?  Or in 2013 abandoning in house[...]

See also, the energy drink Fuel Rods and the computer game Escapism…   You can read more here. [...]

On Friday, Alan Moore made an appearance on Channel 4 News in the UK to promote the collection of short films made with Mitch Jenkins, called Show Pieces, as it begins to tour the film circuit beginning with this weekend's FrightFest in London. Also booked on Channel 4 that night with Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP,[...]

Today, in Leicester Square, London, we have had the FrightFest premiere at Vue Cinema of three of Alan Moore and Mitch Jenkins' short films linked together as Show Pieces. You can pre-order your copy here if you want. But before that, Kickstarter backers of the third of those short films (including me) were given a pre-premiere showing[...]

Lots of people have good things to say about the new Teen Titans #2 from Wil Pfeifer and Kenneth Rockafort. But some more folk who will be praising them will be those, like me, who loved the Alan Moore run on WildCATS from over a decade ago And might not have picked up this comic book otherwise. At[...]

Two issues by regular series writer Mike Costa, and two "Book Of Acts" specials titled "Alpha" and "Omega" with rather splendid guest stars: Alan Moore, Kieron Gillen, Si Spurrier and Justin Jordan, all regular Avatarites. All who have created remarkably different takes. Mike Costa takes God's rival, now supposedly free, dealing with the limits of that freedom[...]

Often for a reason. But, with Bleeding Cool running Grant Morrison's cover for Multiversity #1 (above) that felt like a great chance to show off the cover work of creators better known for their writing…  Jonathan Ross' cover for Revenge #1 Mark Millar's cover for Nemesis. Jonathan Hickman on Fantastic Four. Jim Shooter's cover to Rai #0.   Gerard Way's cover for[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes: You can never fully know what a story is really about until you've seen it through to its end. As a Kickstarter backer, I finally got to watch His Heavy Heart, the last short film in Alan Moore and Mitch Jenkins' cycle of short films known alternately as The Jimmy's End Cycle or Show[...]

As the story was then accepted into continuity with the rest of the DC Universe, Barbara Gordon, without the use of her legs, became Oracle, and a member of the Birds Of Prey. With accusations of misogyny over the treatment of the character, combined with accusations of being disablist over restoring her physical attributes, even the[...]

During which point, as a backer of Alan Moore and Mitch Jenkins' His Heavy Heart film project, I found I'd been sent a digital copy of the final version Featuring the character of Jimmy, previously seen in Jimmy's End in the series of short films made by the pair as The Show Pieces So I[...]

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[...]

Earlier this week, Bleeding Cool Editor-in-Chief Hannah Means-Shannon interviewed  Alan Moore, during which Moore expressed his extreme displeasure over the actions of Radical Studios regarding the Hercules movie staring The Rock. He alleged that they had mistreated his friend, Steve Moore, who had written the comic the movie is based upon, before his death, then lionised him afterwards to promote the[...]

Steve Moore, friends with Alan Moore (no relation) for over forty years, made a lifetime's impact on comics, I Ching studies, and Classical scholarship, and the details of his legacy will be discussed further in an upcoming interview with Alan Moore here on Bleeding Cool.  However, the circumstances of Steve Moore's work on the comics[...]

Dave Wallace reviews the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century hardcover for BleedingCool: When Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill finally wrenched their League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series away from DC Comics, their first step was to change the format of the series completely The third volume of LOEG was neither a serialised six-part story in[...]

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.

Alan Moore has told the BBC that it is "undercutting one of the fundamental principles by which museums acquire artefacts[...]

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.
