outside of his work on swamp thing and the mythos behind the character as well as the marvelman stuff., i never really cared for his work. not to say it wasnt influential, but his work has become overrated as of late. especially after watchmen came out and people tried to "dignify" it by referring to it as a graphic novel

He has turned on it.
from the interview:I’m not so interested in comics anymore, I don’t want anything to do with them.
I had been doing comics for 40-something years when I finally retired. When I entered the comics industry, the big attraction was that this was a medium that was vulgar, it had been created to entertain working class people, particularly children. The way that the industry has changed, it’s ‘graphic novels’ now, it’s entirely priced for an audience of middle class people. I have nothing against middle class people but it wasn’t meant to be a medium for middle aged hobbyists. It was meant to be a medium for people who haven’t got much money.

I’ve been told the Joker film wouldn’t exist without my Joker story (1988’s Batman: The Killing Joke), but three months after I’d written that I was disowning it, it was far too violent – it was Batman for christ’s sake, it’s a guy dressed as a bat. Increasingly I think the best version of Batman was Adam West, which didn’t take it at all seriously.
The man is such an obvious counterculturist it's hilarious.

I'm not trolling, his work simply does nothing for me. It's overated and mediocre at best and if I want introspection in literature I'd read a novel for that is a medium it's designed for not a 24-page comic book.
When I read comics all I wanted/want to see are big explosions, fights between crazy looking nikkaz and an original story that carries itself -- nothing more.
I'd take 'X-Men - Age of Apocalypse' over anything that fakkit CAC has produced anyday. His work ain't all that, brehs.
I'll give you one, 'Miracleman' was amazing but the rest of his stuff never clicked with me.
V for vendetta is overrated...

Well if people consistently took it the wrong way and corporations kept exploiting it for the wrong reasons... yeah it might eventually drain your love of it.
As a medium though he’s at the point he’s not going to be reinventing the medium so I understand him giving up in it
And then made ABC comics which was supposed to be under Jim Lee's Wildstorm but then Jim sold WS to DC. Alan Moore's greatest failing is that the shyt he got money from he should have published himself. Like Dave Sim. Alan Moore was dealing with businessmen like an artist. That was his failing.
Exactly. He pissed and bitter b/c he wasn't up on his business. It's no ones responsibility to teach you the business that you are in. That's on you. Now he wants to shyt on the audience he wrote for and the market as a whole b/c comic business is booming.
