Everywhere I look today, I'm seeing the trailer for the Watchmen movie:
I remain unconvinced...

| Alan Moore Interview on FPI Blog |
[13 Jun 2008|11:22am] |
Finally, after much delay - mostly on my part, as I transcribed painfully slowly - the first part of my interview with Alan Moore is up on the Forbidden Planet International blog, along with some fulsome words of praise from the ever wonderful Joe Gordon. You can read the first part of it here.
I am, to say the least, pleased. It has been a good year, and the best is yet to come!

| MINDSCAPE |
[24 May 2008|07:36pm] |
Someone has "tubed" the full Mindscape documentary/film.
I shouldn't endorse such an evident copyright violation, especially for products made with considerable effort and destinated to a relatively small and dedicated audience, but what the heck!
I link here my "Alan Moore videos" channel.
Browse to the end of the list to find the 8 (eight) clips from this extraordinary work.

| Inside Out |
[09 May 2008|08:15pm] |
Alan Moore YouTube videos are like buses. You don't see any for ages, they you get two in the one day!
On the 21st of March 2008 one of the local variations of BBC 1 television broadcast a nine and a half minute piece about Alan Moore on a programme called Inside Out. It's well made, and you even, ever so briefly, get to see Alan dancing...

| Can U Dig It? |
[09 May 2008|05:04pm] |

In 1989 Pop Will Eat Itself released a single called Can U Dig It? from the album This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This!. The lyrics contain the line "Alan Moore knows the score," as well as mentioning V for Vendetta. You can see the video for this on YouTube, HERE, complete with a subnstantial amount of backdrops from Watchmen. The clip also includes Wise up! Sucker from the same album.

| Outbreak of Violets |
[25 Apr 2008|10:51pm] |
I've spent quite a bit of time today twiddling about with Alan Moore's Outbreak of Violets, which was originally a 24-card giveaway at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards. It's ultra-rare*, and one has just come up on eBay with starting price of £800. Too rich for my blood, I'm afraid, but Rich Johnston of Lying in the Gutter managed to get scans of the lot of the (well, almost the lot) from the seller, in lots of four, both front and back. I've been having lots of fun editing them down to individual images, and matching the correct fronts and backs, but they're now all (except for four of the reverses that weren't included) up on my Moore LJ, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) glycon.

| Watchmen Figures |
[16 Apr 2008|07:28pm] |
According to this story on Entertainment Weekly, DC Direct are getting ready to release a set of figures based on the movie versions of the Watchmen characters. There's not a lot they can do to Rorschach, but the rest are probably going to be awful.

| Watching the Watchmen |
[10 Apr 2008|06:52pm] |
On the 21st of October Titan Books are publishing Watching the Watchmen, a 200-page hardcover book by Dave Gibbons about, as you might imagine, Watchmen. The book includes Gibbons "opening his vast personal archives to reveal excised pages, original character designs, page thumbnails, sketches and much more, including posters, covers and rare portfolio art." More information here.
And the good thing is that it's not actually a movie tie-in book, as far as I can see.
You can already pre-order it through Amazon, here, for the entirely reasonable sum of $19.80.
Not final cover!

One year to go to the release of the Watchman film, so Zack has posted some images to give you an idea of his vision. My my.

| Apocalypse and the Postmodern Imagination |
[20 Feb 2008|05:29pm] |
FYI: Elizabeth Rosen's new book has a chapter on Moore:
"...there is a chapter in it on Alan Moore's apocalyptic work (Fair warning, I only look at Watchmen, Swamp Thing, and Promethea.) The book is called Apocalyptic Transformation: Apocalypse and the Postmodern Imagination, and it's available through various vendors, one of which is the ubiquitous Amazon."

| Driller Penis |
[14 Feb 2008|03:32pm] |
I've just posted Alan Moore and Savage Pencil's eight-page Driller Penis strip from Corpsemeat 2 (Sympathetic Press, 1989) on glycon. Be warned that this is definitely Adults Only material, so don't even think about looking at it if you're under 18, or have no sense of humour, or no sense of irony. I mean it!
If you're sure you're mentally prepared, then go here and have a look.

Like almost every Thursday lunchtime
I was at the comics rack
Flipping through Countdown Arena
Thinking Yes, I know it's crap
But it's got alternate universes
Which I'm a sucker for
When I heard a voice I thought I knew
And looking up I saw
