Before Alan Moore we are before one of the creators of comics most famous and critically acclaimed of all time. If we say that he has Watchmen, V for Vendetta or Killing Joke under his belt, we can quickly know who we are talking about by pronouncing his first and last name, a great artist.
Last week, at a conference in London to present your latest work creative, Jerusalem, Moore announced that he only had 250 pages to write to definitively leave the world of comics and start his journey in other projects through other means.
Moore will finish Cinema Purgatorio and what would be a new book, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, to finish his time through comics, that medium that has led him to stardom and remain in the history of this creative medium that so many stories has provided in these past years.
The reason for this has been that he is too comfortable in the middle and this is the only thing that will get him their stories suffer, something that neither himself nor his followers want. A wise reason to dedicate himself to another format such as movies, where he finds himself like a tadpole in which everything seems new to him. A challenge that will give you new desire to create, even if you move away from those comics that have given you so much effort.
It was with DC Comics that Alan Moore traveled in the 80s to stay "in love" from the owners of Batman. An author who would have liked to have his name removed from all work that he no longer owns, which would include Watchmen and V for Vendetta, also owned by DC Comics.
We face one of the critical voices with the treatment that Hollywood is giving to comics (and against publishers) and confirmed in that press conference that Jerusalem, his new work, will not be adapted into a film unless the active form of the project.
