Alan Moore:
What was your favorite story to write and why? What is your favorite finished product and why?
Alan Moore
While I’m aware that you won’t have seen this yet, the favourite story that I have ever written and almost certainly the favourite finished project is my second novel, Jerusalem. Prior to this my answer would have been my first novel, Voice of the Fire. In both cases, they are pieces of work that are absolutely central to my life, and to who I am. They’re expressing something that is much more important to me than all of the fantasies I have created, and they’re both pieces where what you are seeing is my work unmediated by a collaborator...I’m even hopefully drawing the cover of Jerusalem myself. With both books, what you are hearing is my voice, with me performing at the absolute top of my range, without any restraints at all. In Jerusalem, you also have a work written in later life after absorbing all of the varied lessons of my career, and speaking only for myself I believe it to be the best and most sophisticated piece of extended writing that I have ever committed to paper.

Alan Moore:
Hi Alan, How are you? To be totally honest this question has nothing to do with horror, maybe to some. What direction do you think the animated version of The Killing Joke will take? The depiction of the Joker and a certain scene will definitely be a factor in what DC does. Also a cheat question; how does it feel to have influenced so many Batman stories/games/movies with that particular story? Take Care Pradeep
