Dave Gibbons’ covers for ‘WATCHMEN’ #1-3 sell for almost $217,000. G’damn.

February 22nd, 2013 by Caffeine Powered

Watchmen.

Dave Gibbons’ covers for The Watching-men, the comic adaptation of the Zack Snyder movie have sold for a ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous amount of money. I mean, the comic was all right. It wasn’t nearly as dope as the movie, but seriously what is?

Dave Gibbons’ ‘WATCHMEN’ #1 cover art on the auction block. And more!

January 22nd, 2013 by Caffeine Powered

Watchmen #1.

I guess there were other Watchmen comic books before the movie came out? Shit is hard to keep track of. One of those “comics”(or were they just adaptations of the movie?) was Watchmen #1 (probably a gimmicky marketing number), and its cover is going to be up for sale. It’s done by some Dave Gibbons guy, who frankly, I’m not really acquainted with.

Alan Moore’s ‘NEONOMICON’ pulled from South Carolina library.

December 6th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

Deep down inside, I know that I disagree with a library’s decision to yank Neonomicon from the shelves. I do. I appreciate the need to combat censorship, that sort of thing. On a more visceral level however, I can’t be too offended. While a bit heady in places, Moore’s entire series is slathering in the jizz of mythical monster orgies and ultra violence. Like, seriously.

Grant Morrison responds to Alan Moore’s continual trash talking. It’s on!

November 26th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

Alan Moore doesn’t like Grant Morrison. That shouldn’t be surprising. Alan Moore doesn’t like anything that isn’t wizardry, orgies involving mythical creatures, or giving birds a home in his beard. After taking a continual beating from everyone’s favorite comics scribe turned necromancer, Grant Morrison has responded to Moore’s criticism.

‘BEFORE WATCHMEN’ Is A ‘Love Letter’ To The Original, Dan DiDio Says. Written By Empty, Parasitic Stalkers.

May 18th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

Dan DiDio is taking to The Guardian to defend Before Watchmen, calling it s love letter to Alan Moore’s creation. What DiDio doesn’t mention is that sometimes love letters are epistles scribbled in feces and blood, rambling incoherently. Rambling to such a degree because those penning the shit-blood missive are empty souls, without an ability to define their existence without the object of their love.

April 12th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

Alan Moore is back at it. I know that some people (specifically around these parts, and people I respect mind you) are tired of him lobbing bombs, but I enjoy it. In this interview, Moore details how Gibbons and he got jobbed when it came to the rights to Watchmen  and more.

Hit the jump for the video.

ALAN MOORE On The Fans Who Will Buy ‘BEFORE WATCHMEN’ ILU, Alan.

March 13th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

Yo! I’m riding on this here high horse, and I’m swooping down with some awesomeness from Alan Moore on the fans who will buy Before Watchmen. Note: I know he’s generalizing since I think Rendar and others here at OL are going to buy it, and they seem like decent enough people. You know. Friends. A brother. But still. I fist-pump to the sentiment while acknowledging the necessary middle ground everywhere in Existence.

Video: Alan Moore Talks About Universes Reproducing, And More.

December 30th, 2011 by Caffeine Powered

Alan Moore spat some knowledge recently at last week’s  Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People. It’s a bit fucking insane, and definitely doesn’t seem to hinge on anything other than his fairly mind-blowing brain-piece. Worth the watch, plus he’s wearing a shirt in the Superman font that says Sperm. A man of my own heart.
