It may take some time to read, it's taken a very long to write. Jerusalem, by Alan Moore And, according to this leaflet handed out at the Gosh! Comics signing yesterday, it's scheduled for Autumn in 2013. Moore first mentioned it in an interview with me seven years ago, a follow up to Voice Of The Fire,[...]

 Today Gosh Comics hosted the release of Alan Moore, and Kevin O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentleman: Century 2009  I arrived at 1030, and found myself a spot about 50 people back from the front door  Not a bad start  I have attended comic signings before but this was my first with actual rules. No more[...]

He's also an old friend of Alan Moore, which is where this gets interesting. The two initially collaborated on Unearthing, Moore's piece about a man in a relationship with a moon goddess, but as Jenkins points out on his site, this quickly expanded The project, under the aegis of Orphans of the Storm, their production company,[...]

Bleeding Cool reported last week about the case of a young teenage girl taking a copy of Alan Moore and Jacen Burrow's Neonomicon, published by Bleeding Cool's own publisher Avatar Press, from her library in South Carolina, and the news coverage that span out of this The library's two copies were withdrawn while it is[...]

This article contains minor spoilers, but nothing that I believe spoils the comic book reading experience. It would be easy to be fooled by the

A hidden scar and a mentor named Riddle, though possessed as he is by the real villain, completes the picture. She then talks about the likely reaction. The headlines almost write themselves – "Alan Moore says Harry Potter is the Antichrist!" – yet they miss the point When the Antichrist is met, overgrown and high on anti-psychotics,[...]

We broke the news way back in April 2010 about Fashion Beast, the classic 1985 Alan Moore masterwork that never was… until now. Here's your first glimpse at the cover artwork to Fashion Beast #1 A concept commissioned by Sex Pistols creator Malcolm McLaren , Alan Moore originally wrote the story as a screenplay With his[...]

Instead, it will be published in just a week's time instead, in both the US and the UK. I understand that UK journalist Laura Sneddon has had an advance copy to read and both her review, and a news piece concerning the comic, will see publication in The Independent On Sunday on the 17th of June. [...]

The Avatar comic Neonomicon by Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows, published by Bleeding Cool owner Avatar Press, has caused a little trouble at a local library when it was taken out by a fourteen year old girl, one Jennifer Gaske, believing it to be… something other than it was. Neonomicon is, basically, The X-Files Meets HP[...]

MTV Geek clipped the thoughts of  number of Before Watchmen creators for their opinions on the Alan Moore controversy concerning DC's decision to publish a Watchmen prequel series of series. Len Wein: "I am sorry that Alan is disappointed in the project being done I think Alan has developed a mindset over the years…that is really his[...]

In this video, around the fourteen minute mark, blogger Ghost Critic reports that the comic shop Close Encounters in Northampton, the organisers of the

Kevin O'Neill was also there, popping in the back, possibly planning their upcoming signing event with Alan Moore… The glass over the pages were a little reflective at that time of day, but you get the idea… looks like Rosa Coote's dominatrix school from the first volume of League has grown over the years to become[...]

Who'd have thought Queen Elizabeth II would have thrown herself into the Before Watchmen debate? Or the Gay Green Lantern controversy? But that's

The folks at Close Encounters, a comic shop in Northampton, England, are organising a comic convention for later in the year, possibly around September time, the Northants International Comics Expo. They will confirm fifteen guests on Monday. One of those guests will be Alan Moore. Intriguingly, admission will be gained by donating a graphic novel for a local[...]

This, more than any other, feels too much like Alan Moore and thus, felt like a violation of Moore's ideas more so than the expansion of the Watchmen Universe. MTV: N/A CBS: N/A             Looks like midnight EST was the embargo point, for certain comic book journalists to be allowed to talk about the Before Watchmen comics they've seen[...]

We ran a couple of Before Watchmen August issue covers last week. But we didn't run this one for Ozymandias #2, with Jae Lee showing Ozymandias in a

There now follows some randomish, vaguely connected thoughts about Before Watchmen. "Did Alan Moore get screwed on his contract? Of course Lots of people get screwed, but we still have Spider-Man and lots of other heroes." – Joe Michael Straczynski.  Before Watchmen author. ""Kirby got a shitty contract too, so get over it" isn't a great tag[...]

Well there's a turn up for the books. Back in the deepest darkest days, DC Comics and Wildstorm were struggling with a virtual battle between Paul Levitz and Alan Moore over the publication of the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier Alan Moore had pushed the book over its use of characters that some might[...]

Which appears to show Prospero reaching out to Orlando from his red/blue glasses 3D Blazing World, with Hyde and Peter Pan, as seen in The Black Dossier. And you can get both the newly-distributed-in-the-UK LOEG: Black Dossier and all three of the Century volumes signed at Gosh Comics in London , where Alan Moore and Kevil[...]

An utterly fascinating account of some DC editorial history caps off the week:  "Shortly after the completion of the Watchmen series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, DC's main editors went on retreat The retreatees included Karen Berger, Mike Gold, Denny O'Neil, Mike Carlin, and Andy Helfer The brain trust returned with three "sequels" to[...]

But I didn't. This month's issue of Superman, by Giffen and Jurgens, gives us the Wildstorm villain Helspont in his war against the Daemonites on Earth, but in doing so captured Superman, in a rather familiar fashion. In a Superman Annual back in the eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons gave us a tale, For The Man[...]

Retailers got a look at some Before Watchmen pages in black-and-white at the Diamond Chicago Summit. As I'd previously heard, and now have confirmed, only

Original Watchmen editor Wein and Alan Moore fought over the original ending to Watchmen, with Moore getting his way, and now I'm told Wein exploring alternative endings to he original story in the Crimson Corsair back up strips and in the Ozymandias comic. Just as the original Tales Of The Black Freighter comics set up the[...]

Thanks to one hard working YouTuber, we now have the Alan Moore interview with BBC's HARDTalk online for everyone to see The BBC generally don't take these kind of things down, so it should be good for a while at least… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAfXSgRxQEc[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn95a3gGaW0[/youtube] [...]

Scott Dunbier of IDW, and ex of Wildstorm, has been having a bit of a tidy. He writes; I feel like an archeologist. Amanda wants to de-clutter, so going

Alan Moore has become quite the doyen of BBC Radio 4 of late Chain Reaction, Infinite Monkey Cage, The Today Programme, he seems to pop up two or three times each year And now Alan Moore has just appeared on The World At One on BBC Radio 4, a political current affairs programme, at around[...]

Gavin Lees writes for Bleeding Cool from the floor of ECCC; Despite his abrasive reputation, I've always found Erik Larsen to be a very personable and entertaining creator to speak to.  I try to make it a point of order to chat to him each year and have him hold forth on some aspect of the[...]
