Comic books aren’t really literature, his are pretty good as comic books go I guess, I like Asterix more though.
Wait a minute, that’s not Alan Moore, that’s that behavioural biologist guy who works at Standford and has that lecture series uploaded to YouTube.

I don't really know how he's that /lit/ though i do like him, but that's because biology and medicine is what i do in real life, literature has some intersection with it but it's still more of a hobby.

Alan Moore has also written a few novels, so I guess that would make him /lit/.

JFK wasn’t going to go to war there and that’s why they killed him. There are LBJ recordings of their knowledge of Kissinger (private citizen at the time) and company sabotaging the Paris peace talks. Nixon ramped up the war and it only started to wind down under Johnson.
The shadow state gets a new figurehead ever since, but generally boomers hate Tricky Dick most because he was there at the time

Yeah. He was going to pull back apparently. The MIC lied to him and caused the Missile crisis, and lied about Tonkin. Not painting him out to be a hero, but he was bumped off because Johnson offered to do what they wanted

Not really, no. He's higher than most comics, but I'd say he's only about on par with ambitious genre fiction. I still love reading his work, but it's silly to pretend it's some world-changing shit.

Alan Moore is an objectively good writer. Anything more from you is pure cope. Do you know how pathetically pseudo intellectual…jealous, even, you come off as? Seething contrarian. Ironically it’s (you) who is a reddit/twitter fag.

watchmen is both more ambitious and more succesful than most other "masterpieces" ive read. league of extraordinary gentlemen was really fun. neonomicon had an intriguing plot but really awful dialogue. providence for the most part didnt fulfill the potential of neonomicon and the prose entries were a slog.
