[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: :D

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: You know my main fictional hero (All of my heroes are fictional, except one), John Constantine?
[livejournal.com profile] wolven: HellBlazer comics

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: ooh

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore created the character.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: awesome

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore is a practicing Magician.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: oh I know lol
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: I felt it

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore does things with language that would be illegal, if the governments properly understood them.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: not to mention scope of knowledge
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: lol

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore wrote "V for Vendetta," the film adaptation of which will be premiering on march 17th.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: have kitty on one arm typing with left
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: ooh

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore wrote The Voice of the Fire a book which has caused me to actually Read things, again, rather than simply recognising words and syntax.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: :D

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore wrote The Watchmen, a series which completely redefined the way people thought about comics, heroes, and the nature of necessity.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: awesome

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore wrote one of the best damn Batman stories, ever, in The Killing Joke, even though he didn't like it too much.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: :)

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore has worked with David J. of Bauhaus, to turn one fo the songs, from V for Vendetta into an Actual Song. Would you like it?

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: yes!

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Alan Moore is one of the best damned writers in the entire damned world.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: :D
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: I believe it
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: think he did some invocation to Hermes in comic
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: this one panel...whoa
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: and typing one handed

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Yes, and there's also an issue of the same comic in which he has two characters walking around a mobius strip lemniscate, talking to each other and themselves.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: yes
[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: that's the comic

[livejournal.com profile] wolven: Tool - [H.]
[livejournal.com profile] wolven: by the way, i'm posting this conversation, if you don't mind. It's too damned hilarious not to.

[livejournal.com profile] sol_et_luna: go right ahead :D

Now I need to get to work.

Alan Moore: Like Grant Morrison, if Grant Morrison was Alan Moore.

(I am remarkably fond of Alan Moore but find Grant Morrison to be largely hit-or-miss. These are my politics regarding Alan Moore and Grant Morrison.)

Alan Moore can turn lead into gold.

If you say Alan Moore's name backwards into a mirror, he appears.

The length of Alan Moore's hand is used as a unit of measurement in some parts of England.


Tell me a good Hellblazer book. I read chronologically straight from the first one to "Tainted Love."

I'm guessing the Mobius Strip thing is from Promethea?

Also, I would like a copy of The Vicious Cabaret.

Damn right he can.

Yes he will; if you're lucky he brings you beer.

Mainly one small section of Northampton, but you see what we're saying.

Anything Ellis did, Everything Carey Did. "Son of Man" is pretty awesome, but next in Line is "Damnations Flame."

Yes it is.

There you are, then. :)

Alan Moore is fantastic! I've enjoyed all the works I've read by him. Promethea is probably my favorite.

hmmm, would it be possible for you to send the song to me too??

Yeah, but I couldn't really get into it. I wanted to like it more than I did.

I can understand that. I love epistemic paradox, like it was my own parent and child, so i dug it a lot.
