Alan Moore Pulls LOEG From DC Comics

Posted by Hemos on from the bravo-move dept.

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."

    First, I thought it was something about Alan Turing and DC Comics.
    Then I thought it was something about Gordon Moore and DC Comics.
    Then I thought the submitter had mixed the two up.
    Then I realized I didn't even know what the article was about.
