Thank you so much for the kind words! I loved your review, by the way, you tell your experience of reading it like a narrative on its own -- which Im sure is part of MZD's hope.

(Also, double delight in seeing the shoutout: Reactor rejected the pitch for a short version of that FAMILIAR piece)

Ah, OK, I misread the post about and "Alan Moore Patreon Q&A"

This was around the time he claims to've been tripping twice a week for a couple years.

I just finished a lengthy profile of Moore and, interestingly enough, almost all the friends and colleagues of his that I interviewed made a comment about how much he smokes, but none said anything about asking for a hit...

I just finished writing a long profile about Moore's new career turns and projects -- spent months on it and never really got a clear picture of his relationship with Rob Liefeld. Their accounts of the collaboration diverge a lot. Is there a prevailing idea of what that partnership was like?

High praise indeed!

Hey, thanks for giving my essay some love! Mind if I ask what you're most interested in about Moore?

So happy you found my Alan Moore piece, thanks for sharing it!

Took a long time but it was the trippiest, most delightful reporting I've ever done.

Thank you so much for spreading the word! I spent a few months in the weeds researching/reporting this article and it was one of the most exciting/bizarre projects I've ever worked on.

In all my research for a long Alan Moore profile, I was never able to confirm the story that Moore came home one day and found Johnny Depp sitting on his porch, and then they went to a pub and got drunk together and that's partly why Moore doesn't rag on this movie.

Thank you so much for sharing it! I'm delighted to hear you had a good time with it!

This is beautiful! I've seen a few of these really charming anecdotes, people meeting Moore when they were young and him saying something perfect; I hope they get raked up into a collection someday.

Dang, I've never seen a copy of Birth Caul out in the wild, nor Small Killing. This is a great collection.
