In comics the reader is in complete control of the experience. They can read it at their own pace, and if there's a piece of dialogue that seems to echo something a few pages back, they can flip back and check it out, whereas the audience for a film is being dragged through the experience at the speed of 24 frames per second.

No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.

It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.

Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.

In countries like the U.S. and Great Britain, we exist in a wholly sexualized culture, where everything from cars to snack food are sold with a healthy slathering of sex to make them more commercially appealing.
Alan Moore
Image
I think that we need mythology. We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently.

Image
People have asked me why I made the first chapter of my first novel so long, and in an invented English. The only answer I can come up with that satisfies me is, 'To keep out the scum.'

There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
Alan Moore
Image
You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.
Alan Moore
Image
I was kind of a selfish child, who always wanted things his way, and I've kind of taken that over into my relationship with the world.

Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade.
