Living hermit-like in the same Midlands town for his entire life, he supposedly refuses contact with the outside world while creating his strange, dense comics, fiction, and performance art. While Moore did declare himself a wizard on his fortieth birthday and claims to have communed with extradimensional beings, reticence and seclusion have never been among his eccentricities. On the contrary, for long stretches of his career Moore seemed to be willing to chat with all comers: fanzines, industry magazines, other artists, newspapers, magazines, and personal websites. Well over one hundred interviews in the past thirty years serve as testimony to Moore's willingness to be engaged in productive conversation.\u003cem\u003eAlan Moore: Conversations\u003c\/em\u003e includes ten substantial interviews, beginning with Moore's first published conversation, conducted by \u003cem\u003eV for Vendetta\u003c\/em\u003e cocreator David Lloyd in 1981.

As such, \u003cem\u003eAlan Moore: Conversations\u003c\/em\u003e should add to any reader's enjoyment and understanding of Moore's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41049067192417,"sku":"9781617031595","price":23.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_38016777.jpg?v=1776968537","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781617031595-alan-moore-conversations","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
