The Mad Genius, In Happier Days

Rich Johnston at BleedingCool has posted several video interviews with Alan Moore from 1985 (collected via YouTube) and oh my! what a difference a couple decades can make! This is Alan back in the days when he was excited to be working at DC Comics, enthusiastic about the potential of the mainstream comic industry, and full of energy just bursting out of his pores. Oh, to have a time machine and be able to go back and bring that Alan forward in order to unleash him on the comic books of today! Who knows what we'd get, to rival the likes of Marvelman, Watchmen and V For Vendetta! Instead we have the bitter, disillusioned old man who barely cranks out one issue of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen per year now.
