Something just struck me the other day, and perhaps it's a long recognised thing but I've only just started reading The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen the other day and thought how ironic is was that Moore complains about creator rights what he has has written a story who's main characters are all established Victorian literary characters. I also had a quick look at the front of the book and was surprised to not notice an acknowledgement to H.G. Welles et al.

'But for Halo's sake, couldn't Rebellion give the old nutter the rights to future HJ books to be published elsewhere?'

If only so I don't have to read the damned thing.

>Does he have a similar boycot of DC & Marvel or is he just being a git?

Hasn't Moore boycotted most publishers at some point or other, said he wouldn't work for DC again but has since, although he argues he writes for an imprint owned by DC.

Money talks the bearded one writes. Not sure if I want to see him in 2000 again. We may blame Bisley for the clones that followed, but do we blame Moore for the leather jacketed pony tailed readers who like comics to be some fantastic medium that they can spout on about.

Well, he writes for an imprint that was bought by DC after he agreed to write for them. Theres a distinction there.

From the rumours about Rebellion and creators rights I'm hearing that doesn't even seem remotely plausible.

Yeah, but they're all dead. So screw 'em. Screw the bloated corpse of Disney too.
