Alan Moore was to the '80s what Terry Southern was to the '60s. (Note subtle attempt to get thread back on track.)
Didn't think much of the Ames article; maybe all the "ballsy" writers are doing comic books and sci-fi now. That seems to be Moore's take.
I just finished From Hell. It's a baedeker of London architecture, history lesson on paganism and freemasonry, and conspiracy thriller linking the Ripper murders to the British crown, held together with sinuous threads of fourth-dimensional speculation and Moore's trademark poetic disjunctions between image and text. Fantastic! Who needs "real" novels?
