The announcement that there is a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen television series hasn't caused me to drastically alter my opinions. Now it seems they are recycling things that have already proven not to work.

The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him... [from Macbeth]

I genuinely like the people I meet at signings or the bits of public talking that I do.

Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers, down it goes.
Alan Moore
Image
Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
Alan Moore
Image
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

Life isn't divided into genres

Our environments shape the way we see ourselves. If you have been condemned to live in an area that is pretty evidently a rat-run, then sooner or later you're gonna come to the conclusion that you're a rat.
