Chris Knowles on Alan Moore

Chris Knowles giving a shout-out to Alan Moore. He lists his major credentials below, so I won’t repeat them, but I’d like to also give some props to Moore’s Promothea series, which is an extremely rich blending of psychology, religio-mysticism, and pulp-comic (femme) hero ass-kicking. Very Cool!

Follow the link at the bottom to get to the original post with the Alan Moore documentary embedded.

Alan Moore needs no introduction around these parts. He’s the creator of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, the Jack the Ripper drama From Hell as well as League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which I believe is the finest superhero fiction ever written. For those of you who haven’t read his work maybe this documentary will change your mind. I find it both intimidating and inspiring, maybe even a bit irritating given Moore’s diehard hippie solipsism. But it’s never boring, and if any of you out there are looking for a reason to continue in what creative pursuits you might have been putting off, Moore’s views on the nature of creativity will surely help provide one.
