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."

    ... 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.

    If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.

      Yeah, I imagine there are brilliant advertising jingle writers, brilliant monster truck announcers, and equally brilliant graffiti artists who'd all shun Hollywood's money just the same.

      Sorry for your karma. I agree with what you're writing, but you're in for a world of -1 hurt once the fanboys latch on.

      Yep, Moore is an arrogant prick. He's definitely one of those people with an ego far beyond what their ability merits.
