When I got the email confirming that I was going to get to interview Alan Moore I was giddy. The man has been one of my major idols since I first read Watchmen back in the mid-80's. Since then I have devoured as much of his work as possible from the early Miracleman days up until his recent novel, The Voice of Fire. I often think I have read all of his comic book stories then some company will pull an older work I have never even heard of and reprint it. That is exactly what Chris Staros and Top Shelf...

Moore has a reputation for being a bit of a recluse, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see in this interview that the man is an extraordinary gentleman. The man truly makes writing an art, so while I may be dismayed to read of his impending "retirement" I do understand that that is likely what is best for the artist.

This man is quite possibly the greatest comic book writer that has ever lived. I'm glad to see that even though he's retired from that particular medium, he is still working on other projects.

"Can you imagine how many penis extension adverts I've missed?"

What a dude. Moore is the man. He finds time to birth some of the greatest pieces of imaginative writing ever laid down (in my opinion), and also to basically set Neil Gaiman off on the road to doing exactly the same thing. All this, and a kickass beard too.

Great interview.

Oh my god, what a great interview! Alan Moore is probably one of the best writers, comic book or otherwise, ever. Thanks, DRE, for that. smile

Alan Moore is a fucking brilliant man, and a hell of a funny guy to boot. And yeah, his accent is great (he's got a similar accent to Ringo, for those that haven't heard him).
Plus, he looks exactly like I want to when I'm a bit older. biggrin

His writing's not bad either. biggrin

some of Moores best work has been small stories for iconoclastic characters in the DC universe ;check out the collected Alan Moore DC universe works........there is a great haunting Green Lantern tale in there that has and continues to inspire me to this day...........another great work of his was " Goodbye to the man of Tomorrow". It was a goodbye to the old Superman Alan Moore style before DC recreated him for the late 80s. A darK , Dark story......where mostly all of Supermans major allies and villains are involved. This story like the Green Lantern one hits you on a psychological level that leaves you thinking about it well after it has been read..........another one to look for is his revision of Miracleman....hard and expensive to find.

Great interview! I hope Aronofsky and co. do justice to The Watchmen.

Nah forget it - I love Aronofsky, but some things shouldn't be attempted. Watchmen is and always will be my favourite book. Period. And no 2 hour movie will ever encapsulate what Moore and Gibbons achieved there.

I am a fucking huge Moore-fan. i have everything the Man has ever written, bar some strips from early in his career . Some of my most prized possesions are my signed Watchmen, From Hell,Voice of the Fire and Mirror Of Love hardbacks, my signed Alan moore portrait, my fucking huge edtion of League and my complete collection of Alan Moore CDs and Miracleman paperbacks (I would kill for the hardbacks). The man is a legend in this house.

If anyone is interested in THE ultimate Alan Moore comic, it's Promethea, the work that I think he has said he is most proud of. Seek it out - it will alter you conciousness for the better.

I am frightening myself.

check out www.alanmoorefansite.com - a great tribute to the man.
all go to www.4colorheroes.com for some free Moore comics.

That is all. wink

Great interview. I had the pleasure of meeting Alan Moore recently where I suddenly went from cool calm collected chick into slobbering fan girl.
