A Party in a Lunatic Asylum: On the Mundane Mysticism of Alan Moore (newyorker.com)

I really want to read that book now.

For all the hearsay about Alan Moore's nastiness, I have to say I 100% appreciate where he is coming from. Comic book super heroes have been transformed by Hollywood into something so unimaginably bland that I would be a tad surly as well if I found my fame growing exponentially as a result of such drivel. Maybe it's not a graceful response, but I have to respect someone who wants to do interesting work in spite of the capitalist machine that crushingly smooths all the corners off of culture.
