Moore's month



The general discourse about the comic book works of Alan Moore these days is so banal, and so predictable. The man gave us some of the most moving, exciting and thought-provoking comics in the history of the medium, and people still want to talk about fucking superhero movies with him, like he hasn't made his position abundantly clear for decades.

I just really like his comics, man. 

So to catch my breath on the endless pace of daily blogging, the next month of the Tearoom of Despair is low content, but will highlight my favourite parts from Alan Moore's comics. Not the novels or songs or films, or anything like that. Just the comics.

Moore changed everything in comics, and the mainstream industry still hasn't caught up with what he laid down. We should celebrate his works far more often that we do.
