League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 2009 Off To The Printers

[Rich Johnston]

Alan Moore is engaging in a videochat with 58 people who paid $99 as part of a Kickstarter effort to raise money for a Harvey Pekar tribute statue. He talks about it below.

Expect fuller coverage later, but amongst the many gems the man is dropping - including stating that he is the new god of the virtual world, while rocking a mean sweater - he has also let his viewers know that the final chapter of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen has been drawn, lettered and coloured, he has received a production proof, and it's off to the printers.

Of course you then have a long printing time, and overseas shipping - emphasis on the sea. But even though the book is meant to be published in June it may come out a little earlier.

Good to know the wait will not be that long.

...Be advised, Alan: we Klingons already rule the Virtual World. And we killed off *all* our gods long ago. Adding one more to the list is no sweat.

Can't wait to read the final chapter. I really hope it's released earlier than June.

I was part of this conversation - great stuff. He was lovely - warm, thoughtful, and generous beyond belief with his time. and he addressed my question!

...You know, after watching this, it just hit me: the real way to put a stop once and for all to Alan Moore is to get Ian Anderson to file a look-n-feel infringement lawsuit against him. Watch this video and tell me you don't see the Swipe File candidacy here:



(Yeah, I know, I know, there's a better video, with Ian even drinking beer during the video, but it's been yanked again from YouTube. Someone needs their mouths washed out with SOPA on that one )

The only problem with that is that Rasputin has a prior claim. And arguably a stronger one

...I'll concede this point, although I doubt we'll see Rasputin rising from the grave to toss evil spells back and forth with the Bizarro Cheech Wizard. My money would still be on Ian, because he could easily bash them with his guitar and still have time for an intelligent chat with Letterman

Please let this one be more then a setup.
