The nice people running this project asked me to submit an essay about Supreme and some of the other great works from the mid-90s for this book celebrating Alan Moore's 70th birthday.
Here's my intro:
"For many, Alan Moore’s comics career can be summed up in the broad strokes of working in British comics on V for Vendetta, Halo Jones and Marvelman; going to DC to make Swamp Thing and Watchmen; spurning mainstream comics for serious-minded indies Big Numbers and From Hell; a return to mainstream with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and ABC; and finishing with his H.P. Lovecraft works Neonomicon and Providence.
But for those willing to dive into his lesser known and not as easily obtained works, there is buried treasure waiting to be discovered throughout his legendary career. For me, it’s his period from 1995 to 1998 that yields a rich vein of gold worth being brought up to the light not only because it’s so well done, but because it was unexpected."
If you would like to read more from me and the many, many better essayists and see some stunning portraits of Moore by the artists--as well as see a portion of your payment go to charity--you can find the book here: https://a.co/d/8ajNG0K
