Alan Moore at the Edinburgh Book Festival
Last week saw the appearance at the Edinburgh Book Festival of the arch-mage and Lord Protector of Northampton himself, Mr Alan Moore. The last time I 'met' Mr Moore was in about 1985 at the late lamented Science Fiction Bookshop in West Cross Causeway, around the time of Warrior for which Mr Moore contributed V for Vendetta and Marvelman amongst others.
Alan was his usual darkly fascinating self, but was quite charming to all those who queued for up to an hour to get book signed, his stories kept the queue amused as well.Labels: alanmoore

Waltzer the Softy
I love the internet. I love blogs, forums, tweets and even regular old websites. But there is still something magical about the written word printed on paper and lovingly bound for your delight. The smell of fresh ink on paper, can't see me sniffing a kindle somehow.
So great news that the Greatest Living Englishman Alan Moore is bringing out a new magazine in November. Dodgem Logic sounds from his description to be somewhere between Leo Baxendale era Beano and Oz. Which sounds great to me.
In a terrific interview on the mighty Mustard website Alan opines: "We want to provide something that is going to illuminate the rather dismal times that we are currently going through – and which I tend to suspect will be getting a lot worse – as well as giving people some practical information. Whether that’s under the rubric of our recipe pages, DIY clothing pages, articles on squatting or the more political articles. To keep people informed in a way the conventional media doesn’t do anymore."
I really cannot wait to read Dodgem Logic and it sounds exactly what Alan should be doing.

Treasure Island
This, on the other hand looks great (so far). If Tales of the Black Freighter, Pale Horse, Knot-tops, Gunga Diner and Nostalgia perfume mean anything to you that is. Mr Grumpy Beardy won't like it of course.
