Superhero Accessories: Part One: Masked Vigilantes
Perhaps the most damning criticism Alan Moore made about superheroes has been overlooked in all the controversy around the ‘Last interview’: ‘the origin of capes and masks as ubiquitous superhero accessories can be deduced from… [more]
Rethinking V for Vendetta
I don’t think V for Vendetta works. I’ve always admired the comic. David Lloyd’s artwork is quite beautiful. I like the themes. As a writer, I especially admire the odd chapters that change perspective somehow, like the… [more]

Alan Moore Might be Insane Now
It seems fittingly ironic that Alan Moore announces his exit from the public eye with a 16,000-word harrumph. This interview was a roller coaster of emotions for me – all negative. When I finally finished… [more]

As I explained in last week’s column, I recently asked my fellow Sequart contributors to answer the following question: “What are the 10 greatest works in the history of the comics medium, and who are the… [more]
Alan Moore and Super-Heroes, Part 5: Caveats Galore

Chronocops! – An Alan Moore Time Twister, Part 3

Alan Moore and Super-Heroes, Part 2: Moore Vs. Morrison, Round the 898th
Continued from yesterday. In some cases, Moore’s claims not to have read works which he goes on to criticize might be read as a case of feigned ignorance as a form of politeness. The specific… [more]
Alan Moore and Super-Heroes, Part 1: Promethea Didn’t Happen Now
