And here I was thinking he lived in a Crystal Cave, cut off from the real world...

Only slightly off topic, I stumbled across some Mooreage here: http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/PROJECT_CHANOLOGY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Which comedies do you like watching? ALAN MOORE: Well, over here, at the moment, we've had some very good ones. There's The Mighty Boosh, which is [Laughs] idiotically wonderful, childish, surreal, fantasy. There's also a show called Snuffbox, and it's one of the darkest, funniest comedies I've seen in ages. And I'm a very big fan of South Park. EW: Have you seen the Trapped in the Closet episode? MOORE: [Sings] I'm trapped in the closet! Yeah, that was terrific. I thought the way that South Park handled that bit with the Scientologists was wonderful. I was also quite heartened the other day when watching the news to see that there were demonstrations outside the Scientology headquarters over here, and that they suddenly flashed to a clip showing all these demonstrators wearing V for Vendetta [Guy Fawkes] masks. That pleased me. That gave me a warm little glow. Okay, that's it, I still love him. WE HAZ A MEME!

I've just found out he's written Jerusalem, a follow-up to the stunning Voice of the Fire - so that's answered my second question!

I did see Kim Newman on a Number 73 bus a few months ago but I didn't summon the courage to talk to him, even though I had a book of his in my hand at the time. This is starting to sound competitive!

Yesterday I told a woman off on the train for using her mobile in the quiet carriage. She then spotted that I was reading DWM and asked if I had read the interview with Thomas Knight yet. Turned out the young boy and girl with her were the younger Knights!

Frank Miller wouldn't make Amazons men and I'm sure he'd love to get his hands on Wonder Woman. He would however dress them all as hookers, give them gimp S&M boytoys to drag around on leashes and have the leader smoke a cigar. The twist would be that several of these strong, beautiful amazon types would then get brutally beaten up in the most horrendous way possible by thickset ugly men. This would not be done in an exploitive, pornographic way, you understand. It would simply be added for realism. No, no, no.

For the rest of the flight I just got on with studiously reading my Observer. Hopefully he didn't think I was a stalker when I ended up taking the same train route in Birmingham...
