This is a fairly awesome interview with Alan Moore. You may recognize him as the writer of The Watchmen and V for Vendetta, etc. Hope this hasn't been posted already!

He discusses his origins, writing, mentality, entrance into celebrity-hood, sex, the Self, mysticism, etc. As an aspiring comic book artist I found this to be a good watch, but I think it has an application to anyone. DEEP.

Rather long video. Mind the ads if you watch it. brrrrr. If anyone has seen an ad-free source go ahead and post it

Oh my god... I think I saw bits and clips of this on Youtube but never knew Hulu had the whole thing. Thank you so much.

I'm actually not a fan of Allan Moores comics, but I appreciate what he did for the industry. He's a great writer, but his panel layouts give me a head ache. There's usually more dialogue bubble than image in his average panel and a dozen panels on each page. I actually say this a few years ago at Comic Con. He has one hell of a head on his shoulders.

yeh I often find him tiring too, especially in From Hell. Although, there was a whole complicated logic beneath the layouts in Watchmen, symmetry, repetition and so on, which is interresting if you notice it.

Exception is V for Vendetta. That Novel is so perfect I have no idea how it could be consieved. The guy could write only that, and he'd be a legend, let alone the rest of the stuff he wrote!

Alan Moore knows the score.

I cant view it :/

Dream I've had that will probably never come true: A Comic/Graphic Novel co-created by Alan Moore and Moebius. Their combined esoteric/metaphysical sensibilities would be pretty interesting, I think. Or maybe not. But, it's fun to dream.

PS: The "hairy" tag cracked me up.
