According to one poster on the ComicBloc forums, that’s the word from a local paper.

“He features in a sub plot which sees a new “cool” comic shop opening in Springfield in competition with The Android’s Dungeon.

The new shop has persuaded Moore to make a public appearance. In reality, Mr Moore rarely makes public appearances, preferring to concentrate on his prolific output of work.

This has earned him a reputation as a recluse although in Northampton he has a wide network of long-time friends and family.”

Pretty odd/cool, eh? I’m sure the comic book press is all over this right now, so we’ll see more on it sooner than later.
