Alan Moore - Tim Callahan's re-read

[Colin YNWA]

Not seen mention of this. Comic book writing type Tim Callahan is doing a re-read of Alan Moore's work and it can be found here.

He has some interesting things to say about Skizz (though forgets to find it bloomin' great!)

and also covers Halo Jones, Future Shocks as well as lots of over cool stuff I've not had a chance to read yet. Worth a look?

I've been following it week by week. Very good writer.

I disagree with him completely about Halo Jones though. And some of his favourites of Moore's Future Shocks wouldn't be mine but it makes for an interesting read every week.

I disagree with him completely about Halo Jones though.

Indeed - I'd put Bk 3 as one of the absolute high-water marks of Mr. Moore's entire oeuvre. Though I do have an inordinate fondness for General Luiz Cannibal (what a villain! So charismatic - if it wasn't for that spigot, he could've been Alan Moore's own Torquemada.)

Cheer for highlighting the site, Colin.

Colin Smith has, coincidentally, posted on Alan Moore's early run on Captain Britain, especially where the quality suudenly goes up:
