r/AlanMoore

Having written several short stories in the last year or two that had no discernible influence from our Alan M, I've been trying to consciously infuse a bit into the current project. This goes beyond mere references to affect the structure, style and content.

Have you written anything that showed the mark of the Magus?

Hey everyone, first time posting in this sub. Please correct me if I make any mistake.

I'm a big fan of Moore's work, his novels and particularly Jerusalem. I just finished reading Joyce's Ulysses and couldn't help but notice similarities on the structure of both works. I didn't read so much interviews of Moore but do you know if he discussed his inspirations ? Did he mentioned Joyce as one of them ? Did you find the same similarities between those works ?

I'm going to read Finnegan's Wake and I'm sure I'll find some links too. Of course Joyce inspired so many writers but it struck me so wanted to see if you saw the same things.

Cheers !

I was wondering if anyone had any information about the Comet Rangers project, which Alan Moore was supposed to do with Jim Lee sometime around the early to mid-2000's. I've heard differing things about the project -- everything from it being an illustrated novel to a 48-page graphic novel--but the only real info I've uncovered about it is this quote from Jim Lee, from a San Diego event in 2018:

"I think there was a project, I was talking about Alan Moore, I was specifically referring to a project that he and I were going to do together called Comet Rangers. He did write like 3 pages, I have 15 pages of stuff he wrote. 15 pages of comic book, which was 45 pages of script. I love getting detail and direction. and that's not what lead to that not happening. (It was) my own inability to get projects done during that era, but that would have been great to have done that."

If there was indeed some finished script pages, it's really weird that there's so little info out there about it--no details concerning what the story would have been.

Anybody know anything about Comet Rangers?

Chris Moore was the elder brother of Steve Moore (both no relation.) Steve was among Alan Moore's lifelong best friends and a writer who mentored A. Moore in comics writing. S. Moore is the subject of A. Moore's Unearthing, which covers some of the same family history as this eulogy. The eulogy document is located at the bottom of the Chris Moore cactus plant webpage The Asclepiad Exhibition https://www.asclepiad-exhibition.org/
