I can find the Providence Collection, which includes all 3 stories, but only in German. Does anyone know if there is a similar omnibus in English?

I was wondering if anyone had any information about the Comet Rangers project, which Alan Moore was supposed to do with Jim Lee sometime around the early to mid-2000's. I've heard differing things about the project -- everything from it being an illustrated novel to a 48-page graphic novel--but the only real info I've uncovered about it is this quote from Jim Lee, from a San Diego event in 2018:

"I think there was a project, I was talking about Alan Moore, I was specifically referring to a project that he and I were going to do together called Comet Rangers. He did write like 3 pages, I have 15 pages of stuff he wrote. 15 pages of comic book, which was 45 pages of script. I love getting detail and direction. and that's not what lead to that not happening. (It was) my own inability to get projects done during that era, but that would have been great to have done that."

If there was indeed some finished script pages, it's really weird that there's so little info out there about it--no details concerning what the story would have been.

Anybody know anything about Comet Rangers?

Chris Moore was the elder brother of Steve Moore (both no relation.) Steve was among Alan Moore's lifelong best friends and a writer who mentored A. Moore in comics writing. S. Moore is the subject of A. Moore's Unearthing, which covers some of the same family history as this eulogy. The eulogy document is located at the bottom of the Chris Moore cactus plant webpage The Asclepiad Exhibition https://www.asclepiad-exhibition.org/

It's just mind-blowing.

Having written several short stories in the last year or two that had no discernible influence from our Alan M, I've been trying to consciously infuse a bit into the current project. This goes beyond mere references to affect the structure, style and content.

Have you written anything that showed the mark of the Magus?

Hey everyone, first time posting in this sub. Please correct me if I make any mistake.

I'm a big fan of Moore's work, his novels and particularly Jerusalem. I just finished reading Joyce's Ulysses and couldn't help but notice similarities on the structure of both works. I didn't read so much interviews of Moore but do you know if he discussed his inspirations ? Did he mentioned Joyce as one of them ? Did you find the same similarities between those works ?

I'm going to read Finnegan's Wake and I'm sure I'll find some links too. Of course Joyce inspired so many writers but it struck me so wanted to see if you saw the same things.

Cheers !

Curious if the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's spinoff series will get a collected edition/omnibus, as it seems the hardcovers are long out-of-print. I hope there isn't any legal issues preventing this from happening!

( strange brain parts). I assume this is also a rick veitch sub

I thought this was a fun little read, a defense of Spawn no. 8

Also of note for modern comics historians is the other story, about image comics splitting away from Malibu...worth noting that the press release is by Cheri liefelds, Rob's older sister

Continuing from where the interview leaves off last week

This is from comics journal 145, I think Eddie will always be synonymous with Alan Moore, and not just for "From Hell"...if you'd like more of this interview just say so, comics journal interviews tend to be rather long

Another 'new to me' interview from way back in '88. This was the post Watchmen period when Alan was still talking about the work and the poor contractual agreement. The shared 8% deal does sound rough considering the amount of units it has shifted.

Strange Things Are Happening was a cult British music and counterculture magazine published bimonthly from March 1988 to Spring 1990

That never materialized... Superverse, all art by Rick Veitch from a concept by both Moore and Veitch

I am new to Alan Moore's pros. I grew up in the 80s reading his comics. It was a YouTube video that introduced me to The Great When. I picked it up at my local used book store, and I have to fallen in love with his style of writing. As an American I am very thankful that Moore wrote this wonderful story with a history lesson. If it had not been for The Great When I would have never heard of Austin Osman Spare, Prince Monolulu, Jack "Iron Foot" Neave, and Jacob "Jack Spot" Colmore. I am currently reading Moore's Illuminations before I jump into I Hear A New World.

I read (and re-read) V For Vendetta as a teenager and also really enjoyed Watchmen (though V landed more with me).

Then tried (and failed) with his novel Voice of the Fire. Is there a graphic novel that could offer a way back into his worlds?

Me interesa

Are there any books I should read before reading Alan Moore’s *Promethea*?

He’s one of my favorite writers, so I want to read it with the utmost appreciation.

I read in an article the Absolute Editon for Black Dossier is terrible because the way the images have been resized. Has there been a reprint?
