A fantastic book. Imho!

Alan Moore 72!

"Comics combine the best of novels and films in that they have an engaging, involving visual track, but are capable of greater density than a film." A. Moore 1987

Alan Moore, 1989: "My feelings upon censorship are that it is wrong, full stop. It is a thing which I utterly oppose. I believe that there is nothing in this world that is unsayable. It is not information which is dangerous; it is the lack of information which is dangerous."

How do you rate Alan Moore's talent? Alan Davis, 1985: "As a writer, very highly. Apart from his inventive use of words and dialogue, he can think laterally and see old situations from new angles."

"There has never been an American billionaire who has been traumatised as a child and has decided to go out and fight crime and defend people dressed as a giant bat." - Alan Moore

Some info about ALAN MOORE's second book in the Long London series! To be released in 2026.

"What we are trying to do is reinterpret the idea of a god amongst people, which is basically what the idea oi the super-hero is, even though the original idea has been diluted."

"the series itself was an honest attempt to portray the occult, not as something performed mainly in spandex costumes, but as something which happens on ordinary streets with ordinary people in ordinary clothes."

"I guess that I was influenced the most stylistically by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Eisner. […] Those two are right up there at the top. Those are the two main gods in my comic book writers' Pantheon." Alan Moore, 1997

"They're not aimed at me, as an audience. They're not aimed at a 40 year old, quasi-intellectual, they're aimed at a 14 year old male audience, that's fair enough."

The Amazing B. Catling!

"Readers of Alan's other books may note that some of the imagery in the first eleven pages matches the symbolism that appears in the journey up the Tree of Life in Promethea. I don't think this was deliberate, more a result of the way that Alan imagines these spheres."

John Coulthart talks about Moores' Bumper Book of Magic! "I did make a jokey comment to the publishers about a future special edition in an iridescent perspex box with ceremonial robes and so on."

«Per il mago praticante, i Tarocchi sono uno strumento prezioso e di vasta applicazione. [...] un ottimo modo per familiarizzare con il vasto territorio dell’occulto e, al contempo, padroneggiare la capacità magica della divinazione.» Il viaggio continua! In compagnia di Alan & Steve Moore & Co.

"[...] temo che il mondo si trovi inevitabilmente davanti a un periodo cupo e la speranza è che possiamo sopravvivere e poi costruire qualcosa di meglio." Alan Moore

Excerpt from an long interview with Alan Moore that I posted few days ago on my blog. "Magic is not something to materially assist you in your life. Rather, it is something to dedicate that life to, without lust of material result." AM
