Alan Moore pulls third "League" book from DC; to cut all ties w/publisher

[Spider Jerusalem]

Alan Moore, co-creator of the "V For Vendetta" comic, has publicly disassociated himself from the upcoming Warner Brothers movie project based on the comic book and written and produced by the Wachowski Brothers. And as a result, he has cut his remaining ties with DC Comics, including future volumes of the "League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen."

Moore has promised future "League" comics will be published by a US/UK collaboration between Top Shelf and Knockabout.

2. I can't really blame him, myself...

Hollywood has managed to butcher every work of his they've brought to the screen; pretty underhanded for Joel Silver to intimate that the V for Vendetta film had Moore's approval after he'd gone to the lengths of disassociating his name from it....

3. i just hope i don't

have to wait years now to see the next installment of "gentlemen..."

i don't blame him either...i'm just selfish like that...the man's a genius and the comic biz just does not seem to get it...

and i have no doubt that joel silver will totally fuck up v is for vendetta...although i must say "v" is far from my favorite work of Alan's...

for me MiracleMan is his most entertaining work...(MarvelMan)...

4. Well, you'll be able to get a bit of a League fix this December, anyway.

Wildstorm/America's Best are still going to be publishing the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Dark Dossier" book, as far as I know (which doesn't count as League series 3).
