I love this article. In it, everyone’s favorite bastion of integrity, Rob Liefeld, takes credit for saving Alan Moore’s career, calls Moore names and basically claims that the best work Moore ever did was during his stint with Rob’s studio. This is the same Rob Liefeld that I’ve been told would parade through the Awesome/Maximum/SuperPowerfulExtreme Studios bullpen with whatever new Moore Supreme script had just come off the fax machine while proclaiming “Alan Moore is my bitch!”

Classy!

“Alan just wants to get paid more money, that’s it. Sorry Alan. I got my body of work out of Alan Moore, he doesn’t intimidate me, I don’t put him on a pedestal like Jack Kirby and Frank Miller,. He’s just a guy who wants to get paid, and he cuts deals for himself that he doesn’t like down the line, and then he gets whiny and cries about it…Hey man, he worked for me for two years, I was quiet for like ten years. And then I watched him burn every other bridge, and I go “Hmm.” Although we didn’t have a falling out with him. He just stopped working with us, because he now wanted to invest in his new universe with Wildstorm comics, and again, like I said, OOPS! That went up in flames. He gives ‘temperamental artist’ a new meaning.”

“And he comes out and he lets everybody know now ‘I’m going to crap all over the adaptations you do,’ he’s shown no loyalty to his fellow artists like Dave Gibbons or David Lloyd. He knows that by coming out and crapping on the movie, he’s gonna keep a certain percentage of the fan base away. He’s an interesting cat, someone should do a documentary, I’m waiting for the CRUMB version of Alan Moore.”
