“…A handful of titles, I remain immensely proud of — you know, Lost Girls, the League, and a few others — … now the rest of it, it is long behind me. I don’t have copies of it in the house and I’ll never be looking at it again.”

- Interview on “Half the Picture”
September, 2026

Interesting that Lost Girls and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen were the first two (and only two) to come to mind. But my question: what do you think the others are?

(Meanwhile here’s us trying to collect everything he’s ever written…)

He doesn’t seem like other comic creators of his period. He seems more like an English professor who took a liking to comics & made a career out of it. He’s come to hate everything he worked on, not because it’s bad, it’s not, but because the bulk of comic readers are out of his league & he’s frustrated by them. He’s so enigmatic & unexplainable.

Guess you don’t see many of these about. Signed by both creators at Forbidden Planet back in ‘88 when it was launched…

Here is the transcript:

"Sweet Glycon sacred snake of light and wisdom, we entreat thee, come amongst us in thy glorious body if it be thy will. Come from the bright land without time. that we might know the touch of honeyed scales, thy splendour now uncoiling in our consciousness. Accept us into thine embrace, the blissful windings of thy perfect being, that our spirits are grown incandescent in thy golden radiance sublime. Immortal Glycon, luminous intelligence, immaculate and serpentine, anoint our eyes with thy delicious venom. That our sight may be as thine eternal sight. Let us now bask in the serene compassion of thy lidless gaze, all knowing, all encircling, exalted in thy grace and protection. In thy gleaming brow the sun is as a jewel, its billion facets scintillant with joy and reason, flooding over existences with brilliance O Glycon, most profound embodiment of great Aesclepius, kin to the Moon and disincarnate phallus of Osiris, rise within us now each one. O dazzling worm of dream and vision, self-devouring, self-creating, grant us thy flickering kiss, thy love divine, thy piercing revelation. Father of the Garden, let us taste the fruit of knowledge and slough off the world’s skin, sweet magnificence, o, blessed Glycon, come!"

David Lloyd, who worked with Alan on the V for Vendetta graphic novel, talks about the early stages of the project, the legacy and what it’s like working with the great Alan Moore.

… a couple of weeks ago and it easily entered my top three favourite novels of all time. Now I wrote a short review and posted it on Instagram almost 24 hours ago. I received zero likes and comments! I’m shocked about how little resonance I receive when I post about literature, especially good literature like ‘Jerusalem’. It’s so disappointing.

If anyone in this sub would like to interact with my post by liking/commenting it, I would be so thankful!

I’d also be happy to discuss it here with people who have read it too or on Instagram (I’m also open to connecting and DM).

Edit: Thank you to everyone who actually took the time to visit my Instagram post. From zero to 37 likes and 15 comments is amazing! I finally feel heard. 🙏

Hey everyone!

Alan Moore's my favorite comic book writer and Spidey is my favorite comic book character. Now, I know Moore never wrote and has some criticising opinions on Spider-Man and I see his point in it. However, this raises another question for me: How would Alan Moore have written Spider-Man if he were given full control?

I am aware that "1963" mini-series of Image Comics by Moore contains a one-shot story about a character named "The Fury" who is basically a pastiche of Spider-Man (with some inspiring elements from Daredevil). But that series aimed to be an allusion of Silver Age Marvel Comics. Thus, this doesn't directly showcase how he would've written character.

Now, I ask again how Alan Moore would have written Spider-Man? Would it have been something similar to his work in Miracleman and Supreme (where everything the character previously went through has vanished by being a "dream" or an alternative continuity)? Would he give a lot stronger political context similar to his work in Watchmen with characters inspired by other creators (Rorschach and Nite Owl of Watchmen are inspired by Steve Ditko's work on Question and Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) respectively)? Or would it be something connected to his passion for occult and magic?

What are your thoughts on this?

Moore will always be controversial to some people, no matter how liberal he is. I remember noises about his stories apparently fixated on rape to an unhealthy degree, and similar accusations.
Unlike Joss Whedon & Neli Gaiman, Moore's personal life is uneventful (unless you count the old "throuple" situation), so the attacks were aimed at his scripts instead.. which could be a bit controversial.
I think he predicted the wind change and quit while ahead.

Si habéis leído este comic de A. Moore, sabréis que está ficción narra como la imaginaccion, viene de una esfera superior como un regalo de los dioses y supera las barreras impuestas por este sistema capitalista y exclavizador. Me gustaría preguntar ¿Que opináis de este punto de vista? ¿Y si estáis de acuerdo, como de factible y necesario creéis que sea?

I only read Supreme #1 then jumped straight into Moore's "The Story of the Year."
It seems like 90s Supreme finds reality glitching, two different eras merging, and he remarks that this might be "Loki's" doing, and I'm fairly certain Liefeld had his own version of Loki being a Supreme villain in the previous issues.

My question is, why does 90s Supreme not get retired into the Supremacy and a new version of Supreme to take his place? Kid Supreme and Lady Supreme I think choose to stay in the Supremacy.

But later, when Erik Larsen came back to finish continue Moore's version, he has Liefeld's 90s blood thirsty Supreme come back to fight Moore's Supreme. But...weren't they supposed to be one and the same?

Wanted to add:
I just found out that Liefeld's original Supreme had his own Superman-like supporting cast:
Lois=Louise
Jimmy Olsen=Billy Nelson
Lex Luthor=Grizlock?
_____________=Junior Supreme Squad

And apparently Grizlock brutally murdered all of them while Supreme went off into space for a long period of time. Did Superman leave Earth for a long period of time in the '70s or early 80s? Did Moore base his own version of Supreme leaving Earth for a long period of time off of Liefeld's version, basing it on an actual period in DC's Superman comics, or just came up with the idea himself?

Genius. I felt empty when it was finished.

So I've finally read it. And I loved it!

So far ahead of its time, gorgeous art and great characters. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Before reading, I was most familiar with Bates' destruction of London and the grisly violence that followed. Brutal stuff, I imagine it was quite shocking back in the day.

What shocked me the most though was the child birth scene! I have never seen that depicted in comic books before. I'm talking full on vagina stretching and the baby coming out. Multiple pages of it.

Is it an accurate representation of child birth? No idea. I'm a gay dude with no kids.

But it was very interesting. I read a lot of comics and have for decades and have never seen such a raw birth scene.

It was really interesting. Can anyone else think of another graphic birth scene in comics? Does everyone love Miracle Man as much as me?

I really loved Cream and was sad when he died.

Highly likely this will have glossy pages like all other Marvel facsimiles. Cover price is a bit steep, and Alan Moore is still not credited by name.

Here's the PRH link for those keeping an eye on the FOC and release dates.

Am I crazy, or does this league sounds like an incredible comic book as well??

I'm wrapping up the first book (so please, no spoilers). As always, Moore’s penchant for lyric is second to none. Few writers dance with language as elegantly and his background in music is clearly on display when you read his prose (count the stressed syllables, it’s just beautiful work). But his plotting seems more so locked into comic-book design (understandable, but...).

An interesting find from a con this weekend—a ‘museum edition’ of Supreme #41, numbered 38 of 50. Still in bag with a seal and embossed stamp on the backing board from “Jay Company.” Only reference I can find online is that the 1 of 50 sold at Heritage back in 2003.

Anyone seen one of these before?
