The Forbidden Planet International blog has a really extensive and really excellent interview with Alan Moore about the lack of controversy around the pornographic Lost Girls, creator’s rights, his issues with DC and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century (pictured above and coming up from Top Shelf in 2009). And that’s just part one.
I was going to quote some of my favorite parts, such as sections that include quotes like “I had told DC never to send me anything again that wasn’t money” and “It’s as if we feel freed from the conventions of boys’ adventure comics, and so it’s a lot more atmospheric, it builds to a tremendously bloody climax, it’s a slow build. We’re thrilled with it. It’s got some songs in it, it’s a musical.” But if I start doing that, I’ll just end up quoting the whole thing, so just go read it for yourself.

Oh boy. I hope the next LoEG has even more porn and is even harder to read so that I can feel even more smugly superior when I tell people they just don’t get it.
