Alan Moore is a cantankerous mentally-unbalanced British anarchist-wizard who authored supposedly "epic shit" including From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lost Girls, V for Vendetta, Watchmen and Swamp Thing. While he is generally regarded by comic book nerds as the greatest writer ever, he has also been the center of lulzy incidents involving the debate of creator's rights and fistfights with other writers of the comic book media, particularly Frank Miller and Grant Morrison, who, interestingly enough, are writers of likewise batshit insane nature as him.
Also, if you are going to criticize Alan Moore's works in the Internet, be ready to be brutally assaulted by his horde of white-knight fans.
Attitude to Moralfags
In 2009, London Anon member Drunk Jedi managed to corner Moore in Forbidden Planet and asked him how he felt about the EFG mask being used by various causes.
Being a gigantic egofag, Moore flounced self-importantly about how OBVIOUSLY he hates all the movies based on his work and weeps orphans' tears over every (or ever other) million dollars they make him, and how objectionable it was that Anon was using MOVIE LICENSED MERCHANDISE masks for their IRL raids.
What, does he want us all to look like this?
He did, however, admit pride at how his work had become a universally adopted symbol of the angry, anonymous body politic. This has been analysed by scientists at Lolledge U as both unspeakably faggy, and kind of cool.
