ALAN MOORE: "I'll stand by Watchmen" 

It really is lmao, he almost feels like an otherworldly presence.

Same. Viva Great Mandril !

Alan became immensely frustrated and disgusted by subsequent usages of Watchmen, but I think he still is proud of the original comic. At I least I hope so. Check out his run on Swamp Thing if you haven't already.

@@GodLovesComics I will! ^^

Which just makes him all the more awesome, right? ;)

@@GodLovesComics no doubt🙌🏼

Those aren't eyebags those are Writer's Satchels ;)

He looks like the crack head that has a deep yearning to tell me about his day when I go out to buy a coffee. Still love his books though.

He carries scripts in those bags ;)~

A little late for that, and I'm pretty sure Moore wasn't in favor of any movie adaptations even back then.

IIRC in his Twilight of the Superheroes pitch he mentioned possible adaptations of Watchmen and didn’t have an issue with it. But that was the 80’s. I think his stance changed after the From Hell adaptation.

@@86Nims Good point, but as the creator he certainly should have a say. It may have been From Hell that solidified his stance. But with Watchmen in particular he stated that the whole point was to demonstrate what comics could do that couldn't be replicated in any other medium, and thus thought film was beside the point.

@@GodLovesComics Even the guy that co-created Watchmen laughed at Moore's dislike for adaptations of his work, the guy literally said "We both knew exactly what was happening when we sold the rights to Watchmen, we knew what that meant. Nobody was holding a gun to Alan's head forcing him to sign away Watchmen. We both did it for money and we accepted the consequences for financial gain."

@@Elfenlied8675309 You mean Dave Gibbons said that? If so, of course they knew they were to some extent doing Work-for-Hire. But where initially the characters were supposed to be Charlton heroes DC recently had purchased, Moore with Gibbons created analogs of them that were more original than most original characters created the the mainstream. Regardless, Moore has a right to express his disgust in DC's craven exploitation of his work, but I'm sure it doesn't surprise him. It's what corporations do.

Phil and Nick were the AGR OG's.

I think mostly Morrison and a lot of lesser writers. Ennis's stuff is so over-the-top that it doesn't fall in the grim, humorless approach that Moore hated.

@@GodLovesComics Moore actually says he likes Ennis' work. He said so in a Goodreads' Q&A.

Are you talking about the host at the intro? Moore may be The Witcher (or the Warlock) but he's no NPC. ;)

@@GodLovesComics talking about Moore yes. Just a joke

@@obicontent Well I knew it was a joke either way. Someone else mentioned Moore's impressive "eye bags." I just wish NPC's (or actually all main characters) were remotely as interesting as Moore.

Around 1996-97.
