Alan Moore
Well, fairly obviously, none of them. I think it’s a common misapprehension, often among horror movie fans, that serial murderers are in some way interesting – like that really clever music-and-food- appreciating one in The Silence of the Lambs – rather than the hopeless and damaged inadequates that, if you actually read a few serious books on the subject, they almost invariably turn out to be. In fact, the way that John Waters makes a fetish of (literally) clowns like John Wayne Gacey and his dopey paintings, makes me wish that someone I formerly considered to be an important voice in modern cinema couldn’t just, you know, grow up a bit.

Alan Moore:
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen must one of the most ambitious literary deconstructions in all fiction. As it evolved from the "Victorian Justice League" to all stories ever, with the Black Dossier's setting in the 1950s and then Century, it went from public domain characters to those such as a certain British spy and boy wizard... Did you face any legal obstacles or criticisms from the owners of those properties?
