Whole bunch of these Stan Lee interviews with comic book artists from the early 90s in YouTube.

A treasure trove of Alan Moore news. For a retired guy, he’s been quite the busy bee lately.
(When I started this thread, maybe I should have just started an Alan Moore thread while I was at it.)
The short-short version:
-
Iain Sinclair, a big inspiration for From Hell, will be doing an anthology on psychogeography. Moore will be contributing a piece about the home of his friend, Steve Moore. (No relation.)
-
Lost Girls is coming back into print. If anyone hasn’t read it, it’s a weird idea and a beautiful book that will inspire boners left and right.
-
The next LoEG book will be “Jules Verne meets H.P. Lovecraft [literally?] in a 48-page one-shot set in Antarctica, in the 1920s.”
-
This is the big one for me: Moore and Eddie Campbell will be releasing an extensive companion/making-of book for From Hell, full of stuff from Campbell’s personal archives.
-
This one’s also pretty big: Jerusalem is almost done. If that statement has any meaning for you, you’re probably excited, too.
And here’s the old-newish Wired interview that this article references a couple times. As with all Moore interviews, both with Wired and elsewhere, it’s… big.
I’m looking forward to any new League comics. Just read Century 2009 over the weekend and that was some great stuff. I’m looking forward to the From Hell companion, too. It’ll be fascinating to see any material related to it. It’s probably one of the greatest comics ever produced but it just doesn’t get the same type of love that Maus or Watchmen receive on a regular basis.
I think that Lost Girls was a bit too much even for me. I knew it was a porno and everything, and I thought it was clever how Moore actually incorporated a semi-LoEG kind of tapestry through the story… But still, it was more than I could handle. Kids and kids, girls and animals, man on man… Yeah, I read that once and then I just felt I had to part ways with it. I had a first printing, too… Maybe I should’ve kept it sealed in an adamantium briefcase along with my copies of X-Force #1.
Yeah, Lost Girls isn’t exactly something you need to read cover to cover more than once, but it’s like an art book. It’s worth having.
Old interview with Kirby and his wife. He brings up Ditko here, all the way towards the bottom.

Why is this so goddamned funny?

So is he the real life Dr. Doom?
You mean to tell me Alan Moore doesn’t reside in the Florida Everglades? He sleeps…in a house no less? Surely this is an elaborate rouse.
He’s the real life Emperor Norton. I thought Neil Gaiman made him up.
And maybe he did.
I wasn’t sure where else to put this, and it isn’t even technically comics-related, but fuck it. Alan Moore is writing a serialized movie. Here’s part one.

(I haven’t watched it yet, and while I didn’t run into a content warning on the YouTube page, I’ve heard that the content is a bit risque. Use your judgment.)
