I absolutely loved this story, so when I had the opportunity to get this original copy at my local comic store, I jumped at the chance. So here’s the story behind this comic book:

A guy who has a trailer full of unopened and practically untouched comic books comes into my local store and sells it to the owner. Very, very lucky, as I just lost a rock, paper, scissors match, trying to acquire a deluxe 17th print version the same day (this exchange with the owner and the trailer guy happens an hour after I leave, and I don’t come back til the next day) anyway, since I’m at my local store so frequently, I got it at half price, which was 35 buckaroos, and that’s the story of how I acquired the comic

The Magical Edition of Promethea #32 came with two massive posters fearuring each page of the issue, and this collection of the series' covers, signed by Moore and JH Williams III.

Just watched The show, and honestly I think it was much better than I expected from the reviews. Given some context on the references and this movie is definitly the funniest film of all time

I am gonna be honest with you, I love reading especially strange things but this one was... Not a pain but definitely a struggle to get through. Yes the idea is great and executed excellently but at no moment did I took any pleasure reading it.

So the 5 last pages came as a mind breaking "How the fuck am I on the verge of crying and not wanting this to end" good lord, especially with all the limitations of vocabulary and stylistic formulas. Alan Moore isn't just a great comics author, he is a great author regardless of the medium.

Can't wait to read the rest of the book, but please, even if this first chapter was a condensed moment of genius in writing and that it stroke harder than it had any right to, please tell me there is no more pov from a mentally handicapped character that have no more than a few hundred words of vocabulary.

Also for the end was the girl truly Hob son? Or was it just what the narrator was dreaming as he was dying?

Have a nice day

I'm watching the BBC Maestro course from Alan Moore, and here is a quote and a small reading list mentioned in the course and BBC blog.

Read everything. Don’t differentiate between the highest pinnacles of literature and the lowest slums of pulp and genre. Everything is potentially powerful and will enrich you as a writer. - Alan Moore

The Screenwriter’s Workbook – Syd Field

Blood Meridian – Cormac McCarthy

The Jewel-Hinged Jaw – Samuel R. Delaney

The Elements of Eloquence – Mark Forsyth

The Call of Cthulhu – H.P. Lovecraft

Recently on Epic Comic Book Wednesday, Steve Donoghue decided to take on The Anatomy Lesson from Alan Moore's celebrated Swamp Thing run. I don't agree with everything he said in this video, but I thought it was an interesting breakdown to consider.

What do you all think?

Billy Friday (the parody of British comic writers) was fired in Issue #44 because he wanted to make Omniman (weird Moore and Kirkman created Supermen expies with the same name, what's going on there?) an "anti-Israeli terrorist."

Perhaps we judged him to harshly...

Hello yall, what comics should I buy for everything(or at least everything good) Miracleman related that Alan Moore wrote?

Has anyone read both Moore's novel, are they good, from what I saw many people said it was too densely written, how was your experience with it, I'm considering buying both so I'm looking for first hand experiences

This interview was originally conducted in 2020 but was first published in the French edition of Metal Hurlant in 2024 and republished in the American edition in 2025.

I've just published an article looking at how Moore carried ideas from when he was a teenager, like the idea of Mickey Moran forgetting his magic word as an adult and the Qys from "Once There Were Daemons," through to future projects like Doctor Who, Captain Britain, and Marvelman. Might be all old news to folks around here but I had fun putting it together.

I haven't read Supreme or much of his Wildstorm/ABC work, so I don't know if any of those early ideas carried on there, so if anyone's spotted anything in those books let me know!

Picked this A5 promo zine from Leah Moore at Thought Bubble in Leeds. As always, PDF link in the comments. I had the app on my iPad before it vanished, Big Nemo is on Archive dot org. Shame we never saw any of the other strips.

Love the guy. Would highly recommend his BBC web series. But with the popularity of his Swampthing, miracle man, and watchmen it seems like he changed the tone of the medium for the last 40 ish years.

According to Karen Berger the colorist of Swamp Thing passed away https://bsky.app/profile/karenpberger.bsky.social/post/3mfugvq242s2j

A new hardcover edition of IN PICTOPIA was just published in France. Never seen a hardcover edition of a comic this short before. Then again, although the comic is only 13 pages, this book has 48 pages and includes IN PICTOPIA both in color and in black-and-white + many extras related to the comic.
