There's a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future.

I am not saying people should not be free to join whichever reason they choose but should we be forced to live our lives around a belief system that originated somewhere around the fourth or fifth century BC. I cannot see any more reason to base a belief system around Christianity, Judaism or Islam than I can around Lord of the Rings.

There is no coincidence. Only the illusion of coincidence.

When I was working upon the ABC books, I wanted to show different ways that mainstream comics could viably have gone, that they didn't have to follow 'Watchmen' and the other 1980s books down this relentlessly dark route. It was never my intention to start a trend for darkness. I'm not a particularly dark individual.

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

This is not anarchy, Eve. This is chaos.

Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.

London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.
Alan Moore

I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.

Nothing's that simple, not even things that are simply awful.

The one place gods inarguably exist is in the human mind.

I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.

Please don't worry. It's a psychological complaint, common amongst ex-librarians. You see, she thinks she's a coffee table edition.
