Thursday, March 18, 2004Moore's Independent day
Seems you can't keep Alan Moore out of the news at the moment - here's another interview, this time with UK newspaper The Independent.
'"I don't even have a passport," he says, and points out that in today's political climate anyone looking like him (ie, Old Testament prophet/Motörhead roadie) probably wouldn't even be allowed on the plane.' New titles from Fantagraphics
Fantagraphics has a whole raft of new titles out. Of particular note is Foodboy by Carol Swain, which Alan Moore has already described as "a little masterpiece." Also, watch out for graphic novella Tell Me Something by Jason, that Fantagraphics describes as a "blank-eyed, silent meditation on young love thwarted and re-kindled."
