Alan Moore interviewed on Get Fresh 

I love the fact that the history hadn't set in yet and they're just so "oh matter of fact" about mentioning the release of one of the most groundbreaking series of all time.

Gaz telling kids to buy Watchmen HAHA! That is fantastic. Alan wearing a suit too

Oh man! That's the first time I've ever heard Alan Moore's vocie. Thank you for posting it.

Excellent - Moore gives intelligent aswers to ignorant questions and does the interviewers job for him.

Man, I thought of this guy as the type who would never do a televison interview, every picture of him is the same one! Thanks for posting this.

How brillianly cyclical the interweb is! That's my video! Wher are the bits with Gilbert, though, Moore was just a sideshow.

Top 10's artist posted one of Alan Moore's scripts from that series online a while ago (don't know where it can be found now, though). Judging by the brief shot of a script in this clip, it's good to know his text layout hasn't changed much in the intervening years. :-)

Ha! You can tell that Alan Moore was thinking.. "Why am I on this thing?!" I was pretty amazed at how genial he was with the Get Fresh guy. I don't think I would be able to put up with pandering to his questions in such a genuinely nice manner. Al, whatta guy!

That is an awesome mullet.

that mullet..... it .... is ... amazing...

Moore's look hasn't changed down the years, has it.

Oh my Glycon, look at all the hair!

Wonderful searching brother wonderful searching brother and I am new subscriber

haha gotta love the mullet and the BLEEP BLOOPEY hokey space computer sounds in the background.

the inviewer's mullet is the shit. alan moore is pretty crazy looking too like rick rubin or karl marxs.

Exactly, but also because historically this is how the process goes.

I still say, Watchmen in my opinion is the greatest graphic novel of all time.

I'm pretty sure that with "V . . ." he was under a work for hire agreement. I know that with "Watchmen" Moore had a clause in the contract stating the rights would revert to him once it was no longer in print, but it's never gone out of print.

A little bit of history! Thanks for that.

Back in the day when Mullets were still legal...

excellent stuff...been looking for whole episodes recordings online,pretty sure it was get fresh that my mate was on when he was interviewed with his ferrets,if anyone recalls that? and if someone out there has the recording would be sweet to see it.

thats a funny juxtaposition of alan moore's wild hair and beard and he's wearing a suit.

Only adds to his being awesome

Might be the case with just a DC or Marvel title, but not always the case with Vertigo (Publisher of V) or Darkhorse. I know Vertigo's part of DC, but they do offer creator rights to own at times. I don't know what the particulars were with V.

Gareth Jones! What a man

Now, as someone who only knows of Alan Moore from the blurbs on the back of comics and his views regarding his books being made into films, this interview is a very pleasant surprise. I thought he'd be a real arsehole, but it turns out he's pretty nice. Nice vid.

Moore doesn't own the stories that he writes. The rights reside with DC or whoever the publisher happens to be. They make the decision to make the movies, they don't need Moore's permission or input.

Well... It can't be filmed in 1987, since Watchmen hadn't come out yet? :)

Sweeeeeeet mullet!!

Anyone notice the Superman symbol on his tie?

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm sure Moore got more than a page rate for "V", but probably gave up rights to the title after 'selling' it to DC. It's just hard to understand giving up the rights to your own book. Of course, these were the days before the big, creator friendly indy publishers arrived like Image and Darkhorse.

Amazing!

Check that interviewer's hair! Alan Moore rocks!

No, I do not agree with the court's decision, failing to take reasonable action to prevent a serious crime, like the murder of a child, should be considered aiding and abetting. Especially if it is your daughter, whom you have a legal responsibility to protect. It was well within the father's ability to restrain his wife, to protect his daughter. Anything less should be considered aiding and abetting manslaughter.

SUPER MULLET

Moore is dressed like Kid Miracleman

It cuts in the middle!

If Alan Moore and Alex Ross got together, they would create the most awesome graphic novel of all time.

Mr. Moore has a bitchin' beard. I LOVE IT!

holy fuck look at that mullet!

Battle of the ludicrous hairstyles. It must be annoying having to constantly brush the hair from your eyes.

Look at that hair. Not that of the esteemed Alan Moore, but the host. It terrifies me.

oh yea you agree with you the new one comes out soon on april 29 vol 3 Century

wow, the Ultimates. You think they'd have at least chosen anything by Alan Moore or Denny O'Neil, or Grant Morrison.

the hair! both of them.

@TheEmptySki I tried to read the watchmen, I couldn't understand a word and put it down then moved on.

Frank Miller's Ronin was pretty good IMO

hes the opisite of david hayter

Where the fuck is Gilbert?? And Man Alive, Gaz tops hair is horrendous!! Him and Pat Sharp should've fought crime together!

How is that selling out? Please explain.

just a note, i'm surprised at how many negative comments that have nothing to do with alan moore's subject-matter there are here. Ppl are arguing about hair??? LOL!

don't Mr Moore look like Billy Connelly?

Interesting....

Cheer up - DC published the original "Watchmen", so don't sulk at them, especially as they went 20 years without turning it into a "bullshit movie" (you never know, it might be allright). And actually, I still can't differentiate comic books from superheroes - are the books the ones without capes and masks?

Oh? What's not strictly true?

Alan Moore looks like a freak:D But his comics are genious, he changed the word "comic" forever.

i wonder if "watchmen" will do ok?!

you're joking right? it's only the greatest comic book ever!

What is this "Watchmen" thing? Sounds...

Watchmen? Pfffft. That'll never take off....

oh its excllent probly the best book alan moore wrote. have you seen the movie watchmen ? the book is way better ten the film the film was good but the book beats it by alot

What's gay about the way he pulls his hair back? Is there a "straight" or "manly" way of pulling hair back? Cause if so, let me know.

Actually, that ISN'T correct. But thanks for playing..

That was kinda embarrassing to watch... the interviewer was sooo the kinda p.c.-kids-show-presenter and he's interviewing Alan Moore. Ha ha! thanks for uploading.

ACtually he looks pretty normal. without all that hair:"D

haha yor right, tht guys livin in th wrong decade. an i thort moor lookd out of place lol

uhm... yeah.... this is swamp thing..... walking compost pile..... Jesus, reading Moore's Swamp Thing you'd think it was the most important thing in the world, here he's so passive about it.

Kids should read Watchmen. Let them know that the world isn't full of rainbows and happy. Maybe, they won't elect idiotic politicians and shill for banks...

i might like the league better

wow the interviewer had no idea about comic books.

mbaileyyyy - Name ONE famous person (alive or dead) that is insightful and imaginative but NOT #a fuckin weirdo# . . . (id say #peculiar# or #intriguing#). Being creative and thinking differently comes with the weirdo package. Look at all the great creators of original music, art, literature, philosophy and inventions that kind of wisdom doesnt come from the minds of #normal# folk.

When will you have something intelligent to say?
