Big Al talks to the New Statesman's Helen Lewis Hasteley about Jerusalem, not having a television, and the end of the universe as we know it. (Hey - it's Alan Moore. You were expecting maybe football scores?)

A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Bohemian
***
I've been looking for a pre-beard photograph of Mr. Moore for a very long time. Many thanks to otium longum for posting.
[It's funny - I thought that without the facial hair he'd be unrecognizable, but there's no mistaking the demonic intensity of that gaze.]

No WATCHMEN Prequels Or Sequels With Moore's Involvement
Hi. Yes, I'm still alive. How are you?
From zikkir.net:
Alan Moore: 'I Don't Want Watchmen Back'
I'll try to remember to post a link to the Wired interview when it comes out.

Off-Topic: Nice Awesome Universe Alan Moore Comics Previews Available On Google Books
Just came across this and thought I'd post it: I found some decent previews of a few of Alan Moore's Awesome Universe titles at Google Books earlier this evening. Here are the links:
Supreme: The Story Of The Year
Supreme: The Return
Judgement Day
These are definitely worth a look if you haven't had the pleasure - there's a nice Silver Age DC vibe to the Supreme stuff that old school comic book geeks like myself will find especially charming.

(Semi-)Off-Topic: Excellent Steve Ditko Documentary (w/Alan Moore Interview) On YouTube
Thought I'd share a great BBC documentary on eccentric comics genius Steve Ditko that I discovered on YouTube recently.
The Alan Moore interview alone makes it worth the price of admission, particularly his inspired ode to Ditko's Randian superhero Mr. A via a reworked version of the Velvet Underground's
"Sister Ray" (which, incidentally, has had said song stuck on "repeat" in my head for the last week or so).

Off-Topic: "The Architects Of Fear" At Hulu.Com ***Possible Spoilers***
Check out this old episode of The Outer Limits and tell me if it doesn't remind you of the ending of a certain critically acclaimed superhero graphic novel. (Note: If you haven't read Watchmen, you may not want to watch this - it may spoil the ending for you.)
Interesting, eh? (I had actually never seen that episode before today, and particularly enjoyed the beautifully noirish cinematography of Conrad Hall.) Apparently, Alan Moore only noticed the resemblance after he had already came up with the ending. There's a reference to the episode in the last chapter of Watchmen in what Moore referred to as "a belated nod".
