Alan Moore Pulls LOEG From DC Comics

Mark Andrich writes "In its return from a sabbatical, Lying In The Gutters reports that Alan Moore, author of the V For Vendetta comic, has publically disassociated himself from the movie of the same name, and disputes claims of support made by Joel Silver. As a result, he has also pulled the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic book series from Warner owned DC Comics, and is handing it to two small press publishers in the US and the UK. And in the subsequent mood of elation, has announced his engagement to long term partner Melinda Gebbie."

    ... but for someone who writes fucking COMIC BOOKS for a living, Moore sure is an arrogant prick. You've got to give him respect for his tenacity, but damn, he's still an arrogant prick.

    So at what point were you hoping not to be rude?

    By my punctuation. I didn't use a single exclamation point.

    What can I say but that Alan Moore knows the score?

    He chose to continue with the projects and work for DC (through a shelter company I think. The comics don't say DC on them anywhere and I even heard that the checks they get don't say DC on them).

    According to the article, the cheques are supposed to come from an intermediary company named "Firewall".

    This is the internet, I haven't the time to form an opinion PRIOR to ranting.

    I am thinking of what type of merchandise they would have done for Watchmen...I can't imagine too much in the Watchmen making for the action figure market.
