The more I think about the new V for Vendetta HBO series, the more I can only conclude that HBO have not thought about it.
It's a story about a (trans) terrorist Dr Phibes-ing their way through mainstream right wing types who enabled mediocre fascists to take power.

Wrightson was one of the greatest talents in the history of comics. An absolute master.
In honor of Bernie Wrightson's birthday, I'd like to share this classic story by Steve Skeates and Berni Wrightson.
Fifty-two years ago, Vernon Glute used to be "The Gourmet!"

actually 'Alan Moore' is a recurring myth-cycle figure, from the 13th century magician 'Alain Moore' said to have learnt his snake-craft in the Orient to the bearded 18th century highwayman 'Alan of the Moor' to today's magician-cum-comics book writer.
His lunacy is idiosyncratic and rooted in a particular place and social milieu, a crazy person that only NYC could generate. Like how Alan Moore could only come from Northampton

I thought this was something I'd said on here, but apparently it was on the bad old site:
If you've ever turned up uninvited at my father-in-law's house because you were on some imaginary magical fanboy quest, I definitely don't want to be online friends with you. It's not a cool, fun, quirky story.

“You look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you.”
“Tortoise? What's that?”
“You know what a turtle is?”
“Of course
“Same thing.”

Alan's scripts were conversations with the artist, and as such, highly readable and pleasurable to work from. Here's a scan of pg. 1 of SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #20, Alan's first-ever issue, when he didn't know who the artist would end up being (it was Dan Day, pencils, John Totleben, inks)...

All happy comics industries are alike; each unhappy comics industry is unhappy in its own way
a full third of all cartoonists in France live under the poverty threshold because they have to pay back their advance payments to publishers before they can get royalties -and those are like, 6 to 12% on each copy sold, to be shared between all creatives involved-
don’t ask me much about the american direct market vs manga, but i talked extensively with french and spanish cartoonists about the first angouleme scandal and they taught me that there’s more than one way to rig the game against you however green the grass looks from a distance.
