Alan Moore is a god even atheists can appreciate – From writing for 2000AD, including Rogue Trooper, to Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell to name a few and of course is pornographic novel Lost Girls about Dorothy from Wizard of OZ, Wendy from Peter Pan and Alice from wonderland.

Apparently the best comic ever written is the Watchmen comic no 5 – Alan Moore Rocks

Just thought I would get that out of my system.

Time was when we burned an effigy of Guy Fawkes because of what he attempted. Now its because he failed.

I have to hand it to Moore. I couldn’t live without my internet connection or television.

It’s a pity that such a great artist saw his masterpieces exploited and betrayed by untalented film producers for overtly commercial purposes. Some of the filmmakers, actors and technical staff did what they could to save their adaptations of the graphic novels, but on the whole the movie rendering of his work has been quite disastrous. No wonder he doesn’t have a TV…
Seeing his creations live a life of their own as they get covertly adopted by the public is a just revenge: may they inspire, may they guide and lead! And may their rebirth spark an era in which authenticity, quality, talent and artistry rule over greediness, finance and hypocrisy!

V for Vendetta, Watchmen, and From Hell are all from the same person?

Makes sense, but I never would have realized. That alone is a testament to this mans brilliance.
The first two are some of my favorite movies, and From Hell is on my too watch list. I wish I knew, I’ll be looking up more of his works.

I’ll also be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask to an upcoming masquerade; Classy.

I bought this mask as soon as I had watched the film I loved it so much. It’s good to see that people have taken the message of the story to heart although I do think that a lot of the protesters won’t have a clue where the mask originally came from, especially after Anonymous used it. I would love to see the end of the film re-created (minus the demolition of the Houses Of Parliament) as I think you would get more people willing and able to take part in something like that than we have at Saint Paul’s at the moment.

V for Vendetta was a great movie! You are nuts to say otherwise.
