He did something unforgivable, he wrote stories people wanted to read.
He's probably writing comics in the woods solely for the trees right now.
I bet, he writes Underground stuff, under a different name, with his friends who are also tired of mainstream.
Lucky trees. Im just jealous of them right now
Alan Moore became an actor who plays the part of "Alan Moore "24/7. He created a public persona and a "bit" that he would do for his audience that eventually overwhelmed and replaced the real person that was once there.
Bright side is that if he shaved, stopped talking about magic and changed his wardrobe, he could easily disappear and assume a new identity.
They call that Flanderizing
If i was Alan and i peered out my window at the atmosphere of comics today, id be "a'ight, imma head out" about the industry too.
Think most people would.
i know Moore has taken some shots at Comicsgate but i wonder how he genuinely feels about modern comics like can you imagine sitting him down with an issue of America or squirrel girl?
I wouldn't be too mad at him for it, he's literally too old to understand how self funded and published media works in the modern world. He's still one of my long distance mentors, though.
I think he accidentally summoned a demon which is controlling his mind to act even more odd than usual... Either that or he spent too much time on Twitter.
Alan Moore has social media?
@@irvinmorales1409 Yup. Although the last tweet I could find was him foaming at the mouth over the HBO Watchmen.
twitter.com/alanmoore_?lang=en
Well obviously he did that yeeeaaarrssss ago
@@gasmonkey1000
Considering how much of a hermit he is, I'm surprised he has a phone, let alone social media.
@NanuNanu81 watchmen has always been political, have you even read the graphic novel?
The interview is crushing because Moore demonstrates what a true writer is supposed to be: A creator of worlds, fascinated by characters and ideas, committed to them. Exited to share them to the world in new ways. They have been replaced by the mentally ill, political agents on Twitter. It's really about "what happened to WRITERS".
What Alan Moore wants you to think happened to Alan Moore: He lost touch with his humanity and retreated into the embrace of the Elder Gods in the deepest, darkest dimension
What happened to Alan Moore: He made a great thing, was understandably excited about it, and he trusted the wrong people with it.
I hope you find those people for Splatto Comics. I hope you find at least 10 people who almost annoy you with how often they come to you with great ideas for stories.
It was a great disappointment when he publicly called Frank Miller a fascist for "300".

Atta boi. No sense in handing them victories they didn't earn & don't deserve. 2017 Zack is memorable -- 2020 Zack is who pros want to work with.
Ya boi, digging this series of ‘whatever happened to..’ videos.
Alan Moore reminds me of youtubers. For better or worse, they put their labors into the hands and at the whims of an uncaring corporation.
Get your own websites and funnel your social media audiences to that while you still have access to social media to do it, folks.
Comics (specifically the industry) broke his heart and he continued to make comics for a while but eventually he just quit. Now he’s acting in some independent movies and writing screenplays
He accidentally absorbed the ethereal essence of Alester Crowely.
Watchmen wrist watch that's what happened.
I reckon if Ya Boi met Stan Lee back in the day they'd have been shooting the breeze til dawn.
Alan Moore signed a contract that would give him the rights to Watchmen only if it wasn't one of the most influential comics of modern times. Whaaaaa Whaaa.
Alan Moore thought that the Left was good (see V for Vendetta.) Then the Left became the SJWs, and he realized the very same Fascists he'd fought against through his art now surrounded him.
Yeah, it's funny how he was so afraid that the next fascist government would be from the alt-right. XD
Some years later he actually said so himself, that V was done by a much younger and naive Alan Moore.
@@Danahellthis comment aged well....lmao we are in the middle of transitioning into a police state because of the alt right. So yeah I'd say he was right
“Shit-smeared soul”
Lol ill save that one for a rainy day
He’s an interesting character, that’s for sure
When people started thinking of comics as being like a tv show with an unlimited budget it probably started hurting the way creators approach the medium. Now sometimes they even seem to forego the unlimited budget part.
Alan Moore was poisoned, shot, bludgeoned and thrown into the river in an attempt to drown him. And he's still here, some 150 years after his birth.
To clarify my previous comment -- 2020 Zack is just as memorable, but has more wisdom and a LOT more experience tiptoeing through comics minefields.
Albino Thunderbuns I still miss bomb throwing Zach. This Zach is entertaining. Bomb tossing Zach was some of the best stuff RUclips ever hosted, in my opinion of course.
It's like different flavours. If he were ice cream, bomb throwing Zach was like a rich, blunt chocolate. All the flavour up front. New Zach is some complex raspberry cheesecake swirl. Both equally delicious for different reasons.
PS, did this post seem weird? I was going for weird.
When he came with an idea to give Joker multiple pasts,DC had to ruin it.
Alan Moore kinda looks like Jesus if he were a member of the labor party.
Even normies who watch MCU movies will still look at you weird if you read comics.
You know who else was making, and still makes really good comics? The Hernandez. I recently caught up to LOVE AND ROCKETS and it was not only as good as ever it's been, it was bittersweet with age, regret, loss and all the things who move authors when they reach their 40's and 50's . . . Very highest recommend.
I want to get a Crackle deal to see my enemies burn before me. My stories can sit alongside titans like Dead Rising: Endgame and Joe Dirt 2. I won't let my dreams be dreams anymore.
Lost Girls, Amerca's Best Comics, Tom Strong, Promethea, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
It's fair to say he's kept himself entertained.
Alan moore is an antique from the hippie era that needs to go away
And then he got a Netflix deal and ascended in a beam of pure white light.
It's extremely difficult to manufacture enthusiasm. It's all vs all, and charting the long term peaks and troughs of the industry, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that the mercenaries brought in to hawk product are seeking to skim some limelight for themselves.
Love what you do and work takes on a different tone. Trading time and effort for a paycheck seems like the baseline assumption, with both parties seeking to undercut the other for table scraps.
One of my favourite Alan Moore comics that I think most people missed was "Promethea", came out in the early 00s from America's Best Comics. It was super meta, so maybe not for everyone, but I loved it. That whole chunk of stuff Moore wrote for them, Tom Strong, Supreme...I think there was at least one more? Fantastic stuff.
I still care about comics. Keep up the good work.
Man enough to admit that I didn't know that Alan Moore was still alive.
Subscribed. So far enjoying your insights on comic culture and history 😁
Alan Moore,Finish Halo Jones You god damned hippy
The examples are epic legendary. get a crackle deal explode fanatastic
I have great respect for Moore. I see him as the single greatest comic writer of all time with not much competition. He’s inspired me to want to become a comic artist. But he started comics down a path of being dark, adult, edgy postmodern deconstruction pieces. That’s all well and great, but it’s no longer nearly as new or subversive as the creators would like to believe.
I think there’s room for all different kinds of comics and comic fans. We can’t exactly afford to exclude potential fans any more than we have to. They don’t sell as it is, and we’re coming from an age of superhero renaissance in film and television, where you would think comics should be picking up all sorts of new fans.
I believe I’ve seen this interview you’re referring to, and I remember thinking “this lady has no idea what she’s in for.” It is beautiful, as you said. Alan Moore was humble, respectful and almost optimistic, and Len Wein gave Moore his blessing very publicly to deconstruct Swamp Thing. (If it’s the one I’ve seen)
Alan Moore is currently living his dream in Slab City, CA.
Alan Moore will go down as one of the greatest Comic book writer's ever. He, along with Gibbons, Kevin O'Neil, Grant Morrison and John Wagner dragged British Comics into the modern age in the early 80s! Comics as an art form was redefined by Moore with Watchmen. I don't think we'll ever see his likes again. Thankfully i was lucky enough (and old enough lol) to have lived through that special time in Comic book history!
Cant deny that the man's brain and storytelling is far beyond anything in todays comics, a real storyteller. He even have the looks of a old wise or crazy wizard for crying out loud. Go with the vibe of ..."legends and curses they pray on your soul". One of a kind and a truly gifted storyteller.
PS Alan is acting like a pretty much normal guy and seems really happy and passionate in this interview.
Whats up with the crazy zoom in close ups though? Made me smile and his (and the others) positivity is really is putting a smile on my face, a real gem of a interview i must say.
2000 AD was my jam back in college - Nemesis the Warlock needs a Netflix deal.
I've enjoyed a lot of Alan Moore's work over the years from Watchmen to From Hell. The man has done himself no favors over the years, though. He will not be remembered well, but to each their own.
My grandparents used to always go to furrs and luby's . it was always filled with old people.
Look up the song 'In It To Win It' by BKB
Alan Moore is a great writer. His *1963* series is a love letter to comics and his *Miracle/ Marvelman* is a fantastic deconstruction of the genre. Jacques Tardi (you are a man of taste, Zack; no matter what they say 😉), but also Jean-Claude Mézières, Moebius. Top artists and creators from France. Merci, mon ami!
NB: I remember Camelot 3000! I still have them issues. Beautiful artwork by Brian Bolland.
Have you read mircleman is a must read Alan Moore. And talking about about good 80s books have you read Ronin by frank miller
I enjoyed the Devil Dog story more than the God-King story, funny enough. I would love to see more of the Jawbreakers' backstories.
O I get it now. So Cuffz and Silkworm are Barney Ross and Lee Christmas. Does that mean your 3rd book will have a whole new team?
time happened to Alan
They probably think a Netflix deal is like a social media food stamp. (You can use it to exchange for food on Twitter)
Life isn't fair, sorry Alan.
im so ready for the power vacuum to happen so we can get folks like Moore again
Yeah, the board of DC has a fiduciary duty to not let go of Watchman. As in, it could be illegal for them to allow Watchman to pass back to AM.
There's a million David Silverman's in the city. This is one of them.
You should also do some interviews. Right now only the Comedy Central one is what people can find.
Think about the future RUclipsrs who wish to make a similar video!
I'm still interested in comics. I love comic reviews at least the older comics reviews lol
Sorry the case is going so slowly. It'd be nice if hateful scumbags could just admit "it was a bad idea." I guess you just have to take pride in being the bigger man.
So I’m curious now, what would it take for you to be happy with comics? All the Comicsgate guys seem happy. You all seem to be doing well. People are spending tons of money on indie books. It sucks about comic shops going under but that’s on the two publishers and shops not changing with the market.
Michael V. I think Zach’s unhappy with “Comics” not comics. The big corporate publishers need to produce some salable material or the industry will be too small to sustain any real growth. That’s what I think he wants after listening to the vid.
Awe, I like salty/spicy Zack!
I really want to see this spicy salt video
To these people a Netflix deal is like the Nexus from Star Trek Generations
Meyer's Jawbreakerverse can't wait.
Alan moore is padme and the comic book industry is anakin skywalker. It broke his heart and went down a path he cannot follow!
_You're a wizard, Alan._
Furs cafeteria? They still have those!
Moore lives in a town called Northampton in the middle of England. He's written a novel and retreated into esoteric stuff. He's become very disillusioned with Britain because of Brexit and because his socialist party lost the recent election. He's a visionary artist and is hard to categorise. He's out of time with his age. That is probably what gave him his imaginative vision and originality.
Spicy Salty Zack Snacks™ have been discontinued.
Alan Moore: the Control Freak who lost Control.
I'm surprised you didn't cover watchmen being cancelled after 1 season. Sure Moore got a hearty laugh at that.
That Krishna bit had me cracking up.
"Whatever happened to Alan Moore" He went insane... ummm... More Insane. And got fucked over more by DC than even Steve Gerber got fucked by Marvel.
Energy in this vid
Bootleg spicy ya boi Zack vids when?
I'd feel bad about the big two fucking with his creations if he hadn't spent like 90 percent of his career writing other people's characters.
lol could you be more specific? If you're talking about where he disappeared too. My guess is middle Earth. If you're talking about the change. He had to go through alot of crap changing from Alan Moore the grey to Alan Moore the white. Probably shouldn't be your first choice to put on fireworks shows for your village.
I thought his Lovecraft stuff (Courtyard, Neonomicon and Providence) were fantastic.
Did you just make a pop culture reference to Furr's cafeteria?
I only know this guy from an interview with Stewart Lee about a snake god. He is a comic person? Am I the only person who knows nothing about comics who watches these videos?
Jesus?
Shroom Jesus
What would you change on the new birds of Prey movie (change/fix)
The skin looks youthful and clean because of the VHS smearing.
Moore seems to enjoy having beefs with people. Doesn't he?
Alan Moore is hinding away in some cave in England
HAHAHAHA! Also don't forget how skinny EVERYBODY was in the 80's.... Looking at pictures of me and my friends.... We were all scrawny.... Even the fat kid was just overweight.....
Is that what happens when you make the mistake of working on your passion project comic at someone else’s company and it becomes successful? They rip the ownership rights away from you and you spend the rest of your life being a miserable curmudgeon.
Go back to last video for your answer. We have become a non open society in 2019& 2020
Alan Moore is a bit overrated now. He's now a bit out of touch of reality.
You can't be more wrong buddy.He just doesn't write comics anymore.
Alan Moore gave all his fux away because he is a socialist--or because his stories and characters were butchered by Hollywood(except I love the movie and TV versions of _Constantine_ because the actors actually love the character and it showed)
The man is brilliant, and it is painful to see a time when comics were an art form that could make a political statement that you would read even if you didn't agree and still love the story, and then get jolted back to today, where garbage tier stories put the pulp in pulpit.
What ever happened to Alan Moore? God showed him the err of his ways, and he just kept preaching Luciferian "dogma."
Please do not do another "dark roast".
He's a commie, probably doing commie things that's what he's doing
