A master of his craft is saying goodbye to the comic book medium . Alan Moore has formally announced that he ’s moving on from strip to stress new challenges ( well , after a few more current undertaking ) ,
verbalise toThe Guardianduring press for hisupcoming novel Jerusalem , Moore said that with “ about 250 page of comics left ” in him , he was officially retire from comics :
There are a couple of issues of an Avatar [ Press ] leger that I am doing at the moment , part of the HP Lovecraft work I ’ve been working on recently . Me and Kevin [ O’Neil ] will be finishing Cinema Purgatorio , and we ’ve set out about one more book , a last book of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to nail .
After that , although I may do the odd little comics piece at some point in the time to come , I am somewhat much done with cartoon strip .
Although Moore ’s official retreat from comics is sorry intelligence — the man’sextensive , incrediblebibliographyspeaks for itself . So many iconic pieces of comic book history have his fingerprint all over them . But Moore has been discussing this departure for a while now , and has long expressed a desire to pass the torch to a younger multiplication of comic book luminaries . As he say The Guardian , he suppose he ’s pass on his natural end peak already :
I think I have done enough for strip . I ’ve done all that I can . I cogitate if I were to continue to act in comic strip , of necessity the idea would suffer , inevitably you ’d start to see me remould old earth and I think both you and I probably deserve something better than that .
While there is that promise that one twenty-four hours he might number back for a project here and there , it ’s a little heartrending to see the end of an epoch like this .
