An Interview With Alan Moore

[@mechakingkong8205]

World famous Alan Moore casually doing an interview with a 95 subscriber KZbin channel. What a legend.

[@cyborgoctopus186]

it says a lot about the type of dude he is. Can't help but respect it

This is a community zine that focuses on Northampton, Alan Moore’s stomping grounds.

[@LeonSKennedy7777]

@@jnnxyou’re kidding me… for real?

[@joefatso111]

He loves northampton a whole lot more than fame, I think

[@m1lst3r89]

I could listen Alan talk whole day even if I don't know what is he talking about.

[@RocketRacoon717]

He’s like a grandparent that told the greatest joker story ever told

[@technoviking4131]

Alan’s message about Marvel’s business practices, the theft of Jack’s genius and his indomitable talent etc is heard loud and clear by so many of those who love the comic book medium. There is no doubt that huge injustices were done and are still being done by large corporate publishers. We miss Alan’s voice in the medium. He has so many great stories still to tell.

Providence wrapped up not too long ago

Cinema purgatorio is phenomenal.

[@bcash1994]

Alan is a one of a kind dude. I could listen to him talk all day. One thing I like every one to know, is this is a man who puts his money where his mouth is. He has and still currently donates all watched tv and film $ to blm and other charities. Stand up gentlemen

[@oscarslife5497]

blm? a fool and his money are easily parted

[@bigtechisbigbrother8690]

Donated to a scam organization of grifters and criminals that blame everybody else for their problems while destroying civilization wherever they go? What a stand-up guy.

[@kenzotenma3570]

This is a question that probably needs a really broad answer but I could never understand why intelligent people believe in magic from Alan Moore, Crowley etc I'm a full on rationalist and can't see how this has any effect in the real world. So is there something that I'm completely missing about this practice. And if you could be so kind, do you have any sort of experience that can provide me with some insight or even a glimpse as to what it's all about.

[@KcDBG]

blm is a scam,not a charity

[@johngalantini6910]

Hi@@kenzotenma3570 - I think I can shed more light on this. Alan has spoken at length about the origins of writing - the ability to form sentences with words and therefore capture and retain information - this was, in its day, absolutely game changing - to those who weren't able to write, those who had this ability would have seemed like superheroes. Alan has explained in other interviews how magic basically came from writing. The term 'spell' comes directly from 'to spell'. Alan also sees the act of creating (writing, music, art), forms of magic as they are realising ideas and putting something into the world which can have a profound affect on those that consume it - it is by all accounts, magic. This 'bardic' magic if you will, is what Alan is a student of.

[@paulbrown6464]

One piece of Alan Moore’s work which really sticks in my mind is the chapter of From Hell where Gull and Netley take a trip round London and the history of various places is described

[@theantinatalismzone392]

Yes

[@midianpoet]

Yes.Its ....mind changing, something like.....Ritual.

[@sassysteveartist]

Lovely chilled interview with one of the writing Legends of the ages. Moore deserves every success with his new book Illuminations - bloody good read it is, too!

[@bjwnashe5589]

It is fantastic.

[@tomsiebert1941]

Incredible get. Huge respect for Alan Moore continuing to support his hometown, walking it like he talks it on the "think globally, act locally" front. Congratulations to the Happy 'Hood gentleman. "Never be convinced that you are powerless. While you've got Art, you are never defenseless. You are never without a sharp implement." Fantastic quote to finish.

[@AllOneVoice]

Sooo excited to have stumbled upon this. I will soak up any and everything this man makes or says. One of the greatest writers of all time easily, one of the most important creative people alive. You cant possible rate him enough.

[@FrancisGo.]

Great interview. You asked much better questions than the average journalist would.

[@theendarkenedilluminatus4342]

Brilliant interview, thanks so much for sharing this chat with us. I always feel like he knows who's watching these, and he speaks to us with timeless consideration. Keep creating!

Interesting to hear where Mr. Moore is in 2023. Great interview

[@RedSpade37]

This makes me want to visit Northampton, but I wouldn't want to bother anyone there, let alone Alan Moore! Interesting interview!

[@thanamechanges]

This is a surprise, alway's interested in hearing what Alan Moore has to say. Such a prolific writer!

[@tara5742]

A rare treat. This was great 🧙‍♂️

[@system-error]

Very enjoyable interview, and cool of Alan to shout out Peter Blegvad. He's underrated, did a great newspaper strip called Leviathan. He's an artist's artist imo, and Alan giving him props very much cements that in stone.

[@AvengCalifornication]

Glad to get Alan’s perspective on revolution and his disagreements with Malthusianism. The workers will always lead the way and we will be able to sublate the conditions of this time

[@mattliamjack3293]

Vision and good intentions can move us a long way. Alan moore always inspires me to be open and grounded. Great human being 😊🌍🍏💚🍀

[@IggyCrib]

I wonder if Moore just rambles like this at home. And his wife is like “Oh he’s on about that time he encountered Beelzebub again.”

Lol after a smoke probably......

Alan is a great person. Always brilliant, always inspiring.

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

He gets so much mind-expanding work out of Northampton, if he ever wants to do a Dodgem Logic annual, I'd snap it up! Hugely looking forward to his Long London book. Also check out his recent BBC writing course, inspiring lessons.

[@gonza.m.carrero]

great to here Alan words

[@Whaddayamean13]

It’s hilarious seeing Alan on a Zoom interview HAHA

[@SoftwareAgentsHQ]

Cool beans! I love hearing Alan Moore talk!

[@dizzythegreat]

Alan Moore feels like an uncle or distant cousin who I spoke to years ago and can barely remember but who turns out to be really cool.

[@ashketchum6803]

Wow how do I have a conversation with Alan more???

[@Elfenlied8675309]

I would guess it's because they are both from the same city. Alan Moore has a lot of love for his home town and still lives there in Northampton.

[@randomnerd3402]

​@@Elfenlied8675309Well yeah he spent 11 years writing a book that takes place in it

BTW, think that "comedians are the real cultural legislators" quote is from a Bill Hicks book.

Yes! Which is a riff on the Shelley quote re: poets. 👍 I loved Bill Hicks.

[@danielmoore9209]

I've read all his work and have huge respect for him and what he's done in speaking out against injustices in comic history but I also listened to his BBC Maestro class which was interesting except that he makes a really funny claim that there are simple facts in life and that one of them is that Covid wasn't developed in a lab and now we have all the evidence to say it was and I just find his and the pride of so many people being wrong about the fate of humanity being wrong kind of funny but also kind of sad (but more funny)

[@theantinatalismzone392]

He is a propaganda agent obviously like anyone who gets mainstream

[@PeebeesPet]

You're so full of sh-t. There is as little evidence for the lab theory as there is against it. It merely exists as a possibility and that's it. People obsessed with it even though there is basically no evidence merely possibility are secretly holding the view that not only did it come from a lab but it was actually a bio weapon created by the evil Chinese to destroy the west.

[@ZorroinArkham]

"Stand up comedians are our secret legislatures." Alan Moor, NOoOoOoOoOoO *explosion, Chris D'elia echoing "Oh ReAlLy DUde". Stand up comedy must mean something different to Alan Moore because in America and to Americans, Stand Up Comedy is where we stick all our most low level, no effort, corny ass salesmen.

[@marcospena563]

You’re culturally tone deaf if u think this

[@sosimple3585]

He's probably thinking more about someone of Stewart Lee's calibre.
