A biography of Moore by Lance Parkin is in the works - likely to appear late next year.
‘This is going to be, I hope, the definitive literary biography that explores the life and career of Alan Moore and goes a little wider than either my previous book or Storyteller, placing Moore in the context of the British and American comics industry, as well as the underground, occult and...

Twenty-One Not Exactly Original Notes On More... →
by Tom Spurgeon
Ten days or so past the official announcement, I’m thinking More Watchmen may be best understood as a blow to comics’ dignity. It’s product, not art. It’s a limited, small series of ideas derived from a bigger, grander one. It’s sad.

You can’t tell me that all of them believe every last word of what they preach, but do they get called ‘ghouls in cardigans’ or ‘Vincent Price, but camp’? No. No, they don’t. That’s because people...

Alan Moore's Alternative Thought for the Day →
Broadcast On Radio 4 this morning…
“Hello everybody, my name’s Alan Moore, and I earn a living by making up stories about things that have never actually happened.
When it comes to my spiritual beliefs that’s perhaps why I worship a second century human headed snake god called Glycon, who was exposed as a ventriloquist’s dummy nearly 2000 years ago. Famed throughout the Roman Empire,...

Bleeding Cool: ‘[Alan Moore] talking about the Roman god he worships, Glycon, looks like it will air as the show’s Alternative Thought For The Day, a special version of the spot usually reserved for a religious speaker.’
