There is something spectacular, no, WONDERFUL lurking on a Mr Neil Gaiman’s livejournal page. It is a two page comic that he and Mark Buckingham did for Alan Moore’s 50th birthday. The two page comic seems to have orignated in a book named “The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore.” A book I have set my sights on owning.
I am not going to repost the images as that seems wrong to do. Don’t ask my why. (Although if you did ask me why, after disregarding my request not to, I’d be forced to say that prepping an image that would end up unreadable on this page and you’d have to click through anyway seemed like a waste of our mutal time. So I cut short the middle man.) I will share the link with a smallish panel and you, gentle reader, can step into Alan Moore’s ideaspace on a whim.
Thank you, Scans Daily for sharing Mr Gaiman writings and Mr Buckingham’s drawings for all to see.
I have a hope, a dream even, that someone writes/draws a thing this spectacular about me on my 50th birthday.
If I dare live that long.
In the meantime, I find myself considering using a rather elagant walking cane, wearing a refined vintage suit, and walking about the streets of Huntsville spelling out the fates of the locals. Only if they ask me to, of course.
Having the skull of a Buddhist monk might not be a bad idea either.
