It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.

Technology is always a two-edged sword. It will bring in many benefits, but also many disasters.
Alan Moore

The superman exists and he's American.

Please! Don't all leave. Somebody has to do it, don't you see? Somebody has to save the world.

Right from the outset, the prevailing mindset in British comics fandom was a radical and progressive one. We were all proto-hippies, and we all thought that comics would be greatly improved if everything was a bit psychedelic like Jim Steranko.

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.

Alan Moore
Image
If light is outlawed, then only outlaws will be able to see where they're going.

Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
Alan Moore
Image
The comics medium has some unusual features that do make it very different, in that it's combining a verbal narrative with a visual one that allows for much richer possibilities of transmitting information.
Alan Moore
Image
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.

Love your rage, not your cage.

There's a notion I'd like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person.

You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.

The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.
