And so it begins!
As promised on Hey
Kids, Comics! #130, Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston are going to take you on
a journey into the life and history, the career and achievements, and the just
plain oddities that define one of the greatest comic book creators of our
day. This would be none other than the legendary
Alan Moore!
Since this is no journey to be taken lightly, each issue of
this story arc will feature one to two special guests. This week your hosts are joined by local
Dallas-area artist (and comic book scholar in his own right) Jefferson Harris. Bringing his brainy game, Jefferson provides
insight, humor, and even JediCole-style pop culture references to the
discussion. And what a discussion!
From Moore’s working class upbringing to his certainty that
he has met one of his most iconic characters in person, there was much to talk
about in the first chapter of what will prove to be a most satisfying
exploration of a genius writer. Cutting
his creative teeth on the British anthology comic scene, usually under a
sobriquet. From there he would expand
his talents remarkably with the introduction of two series in Warrior Magazine that would become
world-famous.
So just who is this Alan Moore person, anyway? That is what Andy, Cole, and Jefferson
attempt to determine as they talk about this influential writer and (at times)
seeming madman. His works, his moods,
his triumphs, and more…on Moore.
