Christopher Ryan asked Alan Moore:

Alan, your art has become legendary yet you are almost as well-known for often being dissatisfied with how those classic tales have been treated in print and film. How would you prefer to see an author's work handled by publishers and film makers?

Alan Moore As far as an author’s work appearing in print goes, I would say that what I personally am always looking for is simply not to be lied to and stolen from. This speaks to issues of common respect. With film adaptations of an author’s work, I would only ask that they only be made if the author in question wants them to be made. Beyond this, I think I’m fairly easygoing and accommodating about how my work is published. I only ask that creators and the work they produce should be treated by publishers with the respect that is their due.
