Product Description
Alan Moore Spells It Out marks the first print appearance of one of the most in-depth interviews ever conducted with this celebrated writer. Even better, its focus is Moore’s approach to creating art, with special attention paid to his thoughts on magic, its relationship with language and with creativity, and tons of stuff on making good comics…. This is something that’s more like overhearing a great conversation between a couple of good buddies than reading an interview, however good it might be. Bill managed to provide Alan with the perfect forum for the kind of discussion which is rarely heard these days, much less captured on tape. Everyone who’s read the mock up, or even had a chance to glance through the Alan Moore-approved transcript, has gotten pretty excited by what they’ve seen.
Alan Moore Spells It Out presents a three-plus hour interview on creativity with the celebrated scribe of From Hell, Watchmen, V for Vendetta and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Conducted by veteran comics journalist Bill Baker, whose work has been featured in magazines like Sketch, Comic Book Marketplace, and Cinefantastique, the discussion covers the entire length and breadth of Moore's career and touches on everything from his early efforts creating the Maxwell the Magic Cat cartoon strip as a teen to his most recent efforts on the ABC line of books. Alan Moore Spells It Out: On Comics, Creativity, Magic and much, much more is a book that will interest both the hard core fan as well as the casual reader of comics, and will prove of real and lasting value to anyone who'd like to learn how to create their own masterpieces. 6x8 Four color cover, 80 interior pages with a few B&W images
